so here we go. :man-facepalming: [2021-02-11 17:14:00] [Eddie Holmes] The reporting on the WHO mission has been largely shit. [2021-02-11 17:27:23] [Kristian Andersen] WaPo kinda started the shit slide - but they have been shit about it for quite sometime. Same with WSJ. [2021-02-11 18:13:09] [Robert Garry] WSJ started it when they published the Chan/Ridley BS. Expected them to take the Trump/China virus line. Yes - WashPost shit editorial opened the shit floodgates. The rest is a mish mash of AntiCCP, antiGOF anti GMO, antiscience agitators. [2021-02-11 18:15:43] [Robert Garry] Also antianimal research, antiBSL work, and so forth... [2021-02-11 18:16:20] [Robert Garry] It's a pretty toxic gumbo... [2021-02-11 18:21:32] [Eddie Holmes] Amy Maxmen tweeted this which is great: [shared file(s): Et97R90VcAEGPDX.jpg] [2021-02-11 18:22:21] [Eddie Holmes] A lot of this does seem to be a hangover from the GOF debate of 2012 with added CCP sauce. [2021-02-12 01:07:27] [Eddie Holmes] Bob, I've had a go at the text. Love it! It's going to send the tinfoil hats into a mouth-frothing frenzy! You and I can keep editing over the next few days if you like. Great stuff. [2021-02-12 01:13:09] [Andrew Rambaut] I will be able to dive in over the weekend. [2021-02-12 04:52:12] [Robert Garry] Thanks Eddie and Andrew! Excellent points by Eddie in the comments so far - agree with every one of them - let's tighten up the vague bits. Look forward to hearing from Andrew, who wil recognise a lot of his text from channel above. @Kristian Andersen is good at direct language so can help with the bits that need that. [2021-02-12 08:02:25] [Kristian Andersen] What is up with that nsp6 deletion? Curious.... @Andrew Rambaut how's L452R growing in the UK?
