[Kristian Andersen] I (skim) read his Medium post - completely crazy. They're all melting down - and just all unbelievably stupid. I think the only one that might have a somewhat functional brain is Yuri - and good lord, that's not saying a lot. [2022-04-20 12:38:25] [Robert Garry] True Yuri>Alina [2022-04-20 12:39:41] [Robert Garry] eDim, Bloom and Relman - just gaming this... [2022-04-20 12:39:45] [Kristian Andersen] I think Alina (who isn't DRASTIC) is probably quite a bit brighter than Yuri - but is instead immensely evil and self-obsessed. Yuri isn't evil - he's just dumb. And self-obsessed. [2022-04-20 12:41:49] [Robert Garry] immensely evil and self-obsessed - good observation - she found a way to monetize her grift as well. [2022-04-24 09:31:33] [Andrew Rambaut] New EBOV case in Equateur DRC is definitely a new zoonotic jump not a survivor-associated case. (confidential at the moment - going up on virological today). Quite divergent from the 2020 outbreak and has a good time signature: [shared file(s): image.png] [2022-04-24 09:35:12] [Robert Garry] Ah- good to know! [2022-04-29 06:11:00] [Robert Garry] What was Ian emailing Tony about on 3/24/20? From a recnt RTK Foia. [shared file(s): image.png] [2022-04-29 06:23:52] [Andrew Rambaut] Perhaps he had another lesion and he wanted an inspection? [2022-04-29 06:37:19] [Robert Garry] Timing suggests something regarding PO1 - perhaps something to do with Deep Throat? [2022-04-29 07:26:01] [Kristian Andersen] He got Covid. [2022-04-29 07:42:05] [Andrew Rambaut] With someone as egotistical as Lipkin it could literally be anything [2022-04-29 07:44:55] [Kristian Andersen] He got Covid. I'm sure it's about that (and it's the subject...).
