[2021-03-25 12:20:17] [Robert Garry] Should look for SC2 antibodies in pets of C19 households - it shouldn't be too hard to find C19 households with cats, dogs and even ferrets [ferrets are surprisingly popular]. Just contact some vets. [2021-03-25 12:26:14] [Robert Garry] 60 minutes decided to follow up their good story on variants with a crap story on lab leaks [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-03-25 12:31:51] [Kristian Andersen] WTF!!!??? With Jamie - of all people? Really? [2021-03-25 12:39:30] [Robert Garry] Yes - this is shit - unlikely to have much if any real pushback in the 60min report I'm guessing - He'll be pushing the fact that the Chinese military is Shi's puppet master. [2021-03-25 12:40:46] [Kristian Andersen] They typically have good people on - how he is even remotely relevant to this discussion, I don't understand. [2021-03-25 12:49:58] [Robert Garry] Here's a much higher resolution map of the Huanan seafood market. [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-03-25 13:04:17] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-03-25 13:04:17] Now the update is that the WHO report is coming out next week. [2021-03-25 13:10:15] [Robert Garry] At least Metzl's missing the opportunity to bash the actual report on 60min. [2021-03-25 13:10:49] [Robert Garry] I think I can map the samples onto the map with a little help. [2021-03-25 13:11:39] [Kristian Andersen] Getting a translation on that map and Ct values would be great [2021-03-25 13:18:40] [Robert Garry] well maybe no ct values but we know which samples generated positive sequences - i guess of pcr products and which gave genomes at least partial by ngs. it's a pretty good surrogate. i'll try to get Shitao to help me before cob today. [2021-03-25 13:19:58] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-03-25 13:04:17] @Robert Garry more unforced errors - it's how you lose a tennis match as i understand it. [2021-03-25 13:27:57]
