[Eddie Holmes] We do need a spicy Phe to Lys mutation [2021-01-18 12:13:46] [Kristian Andersen] > Not surprised it has happened, but surprised it has happened so quickly. One jump. One single jump. [2021-01-18 12:15:47] [Eddie Holmes] Bloody glad I live in Australia - NO community cases here yesterday and all the tennis players are locked up [2021-01-18 12:20:22] [Kristian Andersen] I know - I'm so bloody jealous. And the model still has to be to drive down transmissions as low as possible - primarily with NPIs, with vaccines also coming in helpful (but the current view is that the vaccines will come in and do it all - I doubt it). [2021-01-18 12:20:57] [Eddie Holmes] I agree. No other way. [2021-01-18 12:23:53] [Robert Garry] YES - the key message now has to be that the vaccines are NOT going to do it all. [2021-01-18 12:27:01] [Eddie Holmes] Totally [2021-01-18 12:28:15] [Kristian Andersen] I think most of us have been pushing the "vaccines are not going to be a silver bullet" message for a while - I wonder if people will listen now... Probably not :wink: . [2021-01-18 12:28:49] [Kristian Andersen] Bob - I went through the Ruff Draft and made a few edits (all in edit mode) / comments. Looks great! [2021-01-18 12:32:33] [Eddie Holmes] I'll have another look today. [2021-01-18 13:05:37] [Kristian Andersen] At least this is some encouraging news from Ireland and UK - the emergency break is still there, but we need to pull it harder (I was afraid somebody had cut the cord).
