Re. Ebola - also in the Park et al., paper: https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0092-8674%2815%2900690-X [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2020-05-18 at 5.48.09 PM.png, Screen Shot 2020-05-18 at 5.47.34 PM.png] [2020-05-18 18:16:18] [Eddie Holmes] But A82V occurred after the virus had been spreading for a while in humans during that outbreak. The key point was virus was ready to go as it emerged it humans. Completely agree about the pangolin RBD. [2020-05-19 07:30:05] [Robert Garry] That early lineage from Guinea has always puzzled me as well - yes the virus had been spreading - it seems like in Kailahun District for at least several months Must have picked up A82V during that time - is this a founder effect?

Machine learning... :face_with_rolling_eyes: [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2020-05-19 at 5.08.49 PM.png] [2020-05-19 22:41:07] [Eddie Holmes] More prize bollocks from the man himself. Yes, machine learning is definitely going to work. No doubt. [2020-05-20 20:24:05] [Kristian Andersen] Okay, he lost the plot now: https://twitter.com/PeterDaszak/status/1263086542861598720?s=20 [2020-05-20 20:30:41] [Kristian Andersen] Btw - Bette Korber is giving a talk tomorrow on her SARS-CoV-2 stuff.... 10am Eastern. You can sign up here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FyWoFyxFSg6Z8RxMI4RdHQ [2020-05-21 02:26:10] [Eddie Holmes] Crazy day...Trump bashing the WHO has side-effects everywhere. Anyway; (i) I'm no fan of the Templeton award either, but he'll live to regret that Tweet. Never bite the hand that feeds you; (ii) fuck! I think I'm washing my hair (each one individually at 10 am Eastern). [2020-05-21 05:08:13] [Robert Garry] For me the sobering news was hitting new peak cases (but yes Daszak is an idiot). Given that case numbers are highly inaccurate at best, any predictions as to what this curve looks like in July, September, November? Me: July (150K per day) September (75K per day) November (100K per day and rising again). Lots of "untapped" populations in SA and Africa. [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-05-21 05:12:31] [Robert Garry] Of course my predictions are predicated on the LANL krewe being a little off - that is SARS-CoV-2 is not the real life "Captian Tripps."
