They don't show the Gene finder® COVID19 Plus RealAmp kit result. [2020-05-05 08:39:20] [Andrew Rambaut] Very high prior probability of being false +ve. [2020-05-05 08:40:29] [Andrew Rambaut] Also if there was one, there were more. There would have been a big outbreak in France it would have seeded the rest of the world.

[2020-05-05 14:07:50] [Eddie Holmes] I like the fact that he was called a tool by Elon Musk on Twitter. [2020-05-05 14:09:19] [Eddie Holmes] The rabid right are loving this. I bet they'll be a story about him infecting Boris. [2020-05-05 14:09:53] [Eddie Holmes] Oh, that French story is surely a false positive.

I guess Sage is now only down to Angry Andy? [2020-05-05 16:15:01] [Eddie Holmes] I see the Korber paper is causing the stir as predicted... [2020-05-05 16:22:09] [Kristian Andersen]
