How soon does this become an Internet conspiracy theory? [2020-05-05 21:36:15] [Eddie Holmes] I see that Frankie Bollocks is now in on the act....top story on CNN (based on a paper in Infection, Genetics & Evolution). [2020-05-05 21:40:16] [Kristian Andersen] Frankie Bollocks :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: [2020-05-05 21:46:14] [Kristian Andersen] Frankie Bollocks - I'm literally dying over here.

[2020-05-06 02:37:21] [Eddie Holmes] I'm really, really, really sure that we knew that already. [2020-05-06 07:34:26] [Kristian Andersen] Neil's getting quite the slamming in the news / on the Twitters. Yeah, he cocked up, but I'm not sure the UK is better off not having him be part of Sage... [2020-05-06 09:18:43] [Andrew Rambaut] I agree. But I suspect it will just be in name only - he was always doing the modelling and reports as an academic group. I suspect that Azra Ghani or Crystl Donnelly will step into his place at the meetings. [2020-05-06 09:42:14] [Andrew Rambaut] Boris Boffin [2020-05-06 09:44:45] [Kristian Andersen] OMG
