[2020-07-18 16:26:17] [Kristian Andersen] That's fucking disgusting. [2020-07-18 17:45:21] [Eddie Holmes] I like the bit about mutations hitch-hiking on the virus :zany_face: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53325771 [2020-07-18 17:50:14] [Kristian Andersen] Hah, yeah that full sentence is good "They "hitch-hike" on the virus without changing its behaviour". They just, like totally, latch on to the virus and makes it all loopy :zany_face:. [2020-07-18 17:53:52] [Eddie Holmes] Phew, that's all right then. [2020-07-20 05:02:33] [Robert Garry] Wolfe - thuggery at it's finest. [2020-07-20 05:14:22] [Robert Garry] Kudos to @Kristian Andersen for calling the charlatan a charlatan on his twitter. What a hotbed of charlatanism Metabiota was before Wolfe fired Fair at the beginning of the 2013-16 Ebola outbreak [OK - Meta is still a hotbed of charlatans minus one]. Best thing Wolfe ever did was leave Fair "stranded" in Liberia - return flight/corporate cards cancelled. Now just counting down until Fair's new bosses at NBC/MSNBC cut their losses as well on their serial liar and fraudster. [2020-07-23 07:35:36] [Kristian Andersen] Might be worth tuning in for: https://twitter.com/CellPressNews/status/1286096187754459142?s=20 @Robert Garry, we need to discuss challenge trials at some point :wink:. [2020-07-23 07:49:57] [Robert Garry] Wow - that Cell discussion with Gao and Shi should be fun...Not sure I can bring you over to the "dark side" and I think it is possible someone could die, but - yeah IMO - controlled trials better than "wild" trials given the circumstances. [2020-07-23 07:56:45] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, should be interesting. George popped up on a NASEM meeting last week and it was pretty interesting to get his take. A little different than here in the US... I say we just make the whole of Florida a challenge trial :wink: [2020-07-23 08:14:58] [Andrew Rambaut] I am talking to Wellcome Vaccines dept tomorrow about challenge trials. They are considering which stocks to manufacture. I am not that sure what to tell them other than a basal D614G. [2020-07-23 08:44:32] [Kristian Andersen]
