[2020-11-18 12:47:05] [Kristian Andersen] Here's what I said to Eddie in a text - it's tricky. "Argh, that's a tricky edge case - send it back with "biologically implausible"? The problem is, it's a reject based on peer review and not a reject because of something fundamentally wrong that can be glanced by quickly screening it" [2020-11-18 12:51:48] [Eddie Holmes] I think we have it resolved now. [2020-11-18 12:52:05] [Eddie Holmes] You can just imagine the headlines... [2020-11-18 12:53:18] [Kristian Andersen] South Africa made quite a splash yesterday with the mutants. Things are going well. [2020-11-18 12:53:58] [Eddie Holmes] South Australia? Yes, that was dumb. No data at all. [2020-11-18 12:56:30] [Kristian Andersen] Oh, that was South Australia - whatever, one of those :wink:. Yes, that was really terrible. [2020-11-18 12:58:38] [Eddie Holmes] Yes, total shit. Will they ever learn? [2020-11-18 13:01:42] [Kristian Andersen] No. [2020-11-18 13:02:06] [Kristian Andersen] Which, silver lining, should keep us in business for a while. [2020-11-18 13:33:36] [Robert Garry] @trishgreenhalgh has done a pretty good job of tearing into the Danish mask study. Would be "ironic" if a poorly done epi projection, an old HCQ paper from VJ and a not-so-well done mask study all beat out Proximal Origins on Altmetric.... [2020-11-18 20:09:21] [Kristian Andersen] I quite like this: https://www.independentsciencenews.org/news/ecohealth-alliance-orchestrated-key-scientists-state ment-on-natural-origin-of-sars-cov-2/ :smiling_imp: [2020-11-18 20:36:01] [Eddie Holmes] But that was bloody obvious and they never tried to hide it. I see this shit is now out: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.202000240
