"Although PREDICT almost certainly discovered hundreds of potential zoonoses, their true zoonotic potential is almost impossible to assess, leading to the surprising statistic that the programme only led to one conclusive discovery of a zoonosis, the Bas-Congo virus.7" [2020-05-26 13:01:32] [Robert Garry] • 7.Branco LM Garry RF *Bas-Congo virus - not an established pathogen.* _Science._ 2018; (published online Dec 3.) [2020-05-26 13:03:54] [Robert Garry] From PREDICT to prevention, one pandemic later [2020-05-26 13:03:56] [Robert Garry] https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30002-1/fulltext#back-bib7 [2020-05-26 14:40:52] [Eddie Holmes] Spooky - I'm 55, and I'm in conspiracy with the Chinese red army and the WIV. They've nailed it. [2020-05-26 15:10:28] [Robert Garry] Yes Eddie and I understand that you have had 6 negative COVID tests but in fact that you are sure that you had it. Trump was right about the azithromycin! [2020-05-26 18:08:32] [Eddie Holmes] Just sent you all an email. Apologies in advance. [2020-05-26 18:28:30] [Kristian Andersen] Thanks man... You owe us a solid. [2020-05-26 18:37:35] [Eddie Holmes] I bloody do! [2020-05-26 19:28:49] [Eddie Holmes] Actually, I've already done Andrew a solid: Carl Zimmer sent me the paper (which I had not seen) and then Trevor's tweetfest. I obviously said very nice things about the paper... [2020-05-26 19:51:41] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, I talked to Carl too - was really difficult to balance being diplomatic and then telling him that one has to be careful making conclusions... I thought my quote in Stat was nice and to the point though :wink: [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 7.51.11 PM.png] [2020-05-26 19:52:25] [Eddie Holmes] Fuck, that was my line!
