Hah [2021-01-16 15:12:00] [Robert Garry] Not surprising ME a wannabe politician [briefly ran for Senate] and likely pissed of that Biden picked EL for the WH post. [2021-01-16 15:20:23] [Robert Garry] But, the more I look at RmYN02 and RaTG13 s1/s2 cleavage sites the more I'm convinced that there's a bat CoV out there with at least a very close homolg to SARS FCS already there. QTQTNS plus NSPAAR. Put'em together and what'a you got? [2021-01-16 15:40:01] [Robert Garry] I do keep messing with this.

[2021-01-16 16:10:49] [Eddie Holmes] Hi Bob, I've gone over the Google Docs text and it looks good! The only that I don't quite follow is the logic the comparisons to RmYN02 as I don't see this virus as being 'ancestral' or falling particularly deep in the phylogeny. We could probably determine the ancestral sequence for all these positions but it will take a bit of work. [2021-01-16 18:29:55] [Robert Garry] Many thanks Eddie! I will keep messing... [2021-01-16 21:48:28] [Eddie Holmes] Nature recovers amazing quickly - huge fires here last year. We have a PO3 writing retreat here: [shared file(s): IMG_1530.JPG] [2021-01-16 21:57:27] [Kristian Andersen] That looks amazing! [2021-01-16 22:01:52] [Eddie Holmes] I was looking for the blue plaque saying "The Darkness once made a preposterous video here": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSGa1dW_KoE&list=FLAGyM2260ABc9ePbs6WEaLA&index=30 [2021-01-17 00:52:11] [Eddie Holmes] > Got this from my mate Dominic on the WHO team in Wuhan "All good, if weird, in quarantine. I've already had 3 swabs, 3 blood tests, 12 temperature checks, 3 oxygen measures and two blood pressure checks!". Carefully controlled I think. [2021-01-17 01:01:00]
