[2020-10-02 04:18:49] [Robert Garry] Yes truly extraordinary! Can't make it up... [2020-10-02 04:59:38] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 03:27:19] @Robert Garry And may actually kill him. [2020-10-02 05:00:49] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 03:27:19] @Robert Garry If he gets a bit dead or out of action, does Pence automatically go to the top of the ticket? [2020-10-02 05:05:08] [Andrew Rambaut] So we are putting together the programme for Virus Genomics an Evolution 2021 (postponed from this year) - hopefully in person in September. Had a crazy idea of inviting Shi Zhengli from WIV. Probably zero chance she would come or be allowed to come but could be interesting. Anyone heard her talk? Or is it a really dumb idea? [2020-10-02 06:07:58] [Robert Garry] She's good - talked to the GVN group. [2020-10-02 06:26:48] [Robert Garry] Not as good as Eddie however but that goes without saying.... [2020-10-02 06:27:20] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 03:27:19] @Robert Garry Yes [2020-10-02 06:46:40] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 03:27:19] @Robert Garry But look at the line of succession. If Pence is infected too, next on that list is Pelosi... Imagine the constitutional crisis if we had to go down that list. I don't know man - I'm 55/45 on bullshit vs real. Let's see what happens... [2020-10-02 06:49:38] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 00:33:11] Very interesting. I'd say that that's still a pretty quick response - Market was shut down 1/1, right? Could have been faster for sure, but not sure this is out of the ordinary give what must have been quite chaotic (plus stigma of SARS). [2020-10-02 06:51:49] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2020-10-02 03:27:19] @Robert Garry Trump for sure knows he needed to shake up the election. I"m less than %5 that he joins @Covidfaker in the fake covid club, but that's non-trivial. [2020-10-02 06:54:08]
