[Robert Garry] And now that WE [not DRASTIC} have uncovered the actual plan, I'll see if I can get a back-channel message to Pompeo, Sen. Cotton and newly pardoned media genus Bannon. Seems like Tucker should want us on Fox for several episodes. [2021-01-23 11:41:43] [Kristian Andersen] Latest data from Jordan on B.1.1.7 - signal starting to be pretty clear and that increase in transmission is really quite something. [shared file(s): Log_growth.png] [2021-01-23 11:45:33] [Robert Garry] Don't think this is classified, but I heard from a good source that B.1.351 is in Kuwait. [2021-01-23 13:20:37] [Eddie Holmes] @Robert Garry The sequence of the Cambodian bat virus is now on GISAID. Not sure if you have it. Also, do you/we plan to write-up these Virological posts into a paper? Things are moving quickly though. [2021-01-23 13:39:31] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-01-23 10:28:17] More seriously - what would be the optimal FCS? [2021-01-23 13:41:08] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-01-23 13:41:08] And of course optimal cleavage may not have peak fitness benefit to the virus - you can presumably cleave too well and alter some other trade off in the dynamics.

Red = B.1.1.7, Blue = B.1.177, Grey = the rest [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-01-23 14:36:56] [Eddie Holmes] Just going through my emails for the GIPA crap. Some are poignant. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-01-24 at 9.27.27 am.png] [2021-01-23 14:37:41] [Eddie Holmes] Note the date [2021-01-23 14:40:43] [Andrew Rambaut] Will these be made public? [2021-01-23 14:46:28] [Eddie Holmes] No plans to. They don't directly relate to the paper. [2021-01-23 14:51:55] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-01-23 13:41:08]
