I will take another look before our chat. [2020-08-15 16:10:04] [Kristian Andersen] Also, interestingly - more cases of vaccinees getting primary Ebola, only to relapse later on after having received mAbs... This definitely needs some further looking into. [2020-08-15 16:15:56] [Andrew Rambaut] Yeah, not coming out basal for me... [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-08-15 16:17:28] [Andrew Rambaut] Don't have all the 2018 genomes there for some reason. [2020-08-15 16:26:00] [Eddie Holmes] Very weird indeed. Can we rule out a fuck-up? [2020-08-15 16:27:28] [Andrew Rambaut] The genome has a lot of low coverage bits. Are we sure they weren't doing some retrospective sequencing of 2018 samples and contaminated? [2020-08-15 16:28:30] [Andrew Rambaut] But then there are 11 nuc differences. [2020-08-15 17:44:11] [Kristian Andersen] Strange... I do wonder if a lab contaminant could be behind this - we should check with Mike. [2020-08-17 05:12:52] [Robert Garry] "Can we rule out a fuck-up?" Never - It's like a rule of nature [been there]- like you can't "prove a negative." I'd want to know how the samples were stored. [2020-08-17 08:06:36] [Robert Garry] Ironic that second wave questions are particularly relevant in both Australia and Louisiana.

I don't have access to WSJ... [2020-08-17 15:54:51] [Eddie Holmes] Try this: [shared file(s): WSJ.pdf] [2020-08-17 15:57:56] [Eddie Holmes]
