Fuck, really? Is your address public? I have been having a few companies working on scrubbing me from the internet over the last few months, but there are still traces out there... (filings, etc.). [2021-06-02 13:55:23] [Kristian Andersen] I'm sorry about that Bob - really need to be careful out there since this is being spun out of proportion in right-wing circles. All these emails unfortunately fit perfectly into a narrative - no matter what that narrative is. [2021-06-02 14:16:36] [Robert Garry] Rocks and ugly notes we can handle, I suppose but will probably get that security camera hooked up . Yeah the right-wing crazies are itching for a revolution. Flynn, Trump etc say it's coming. [2021-06-02 14:29:24] [Kristian Andersen] Shoot - can't you get that information deleted Bob? You might want to consider something like DeleteMe or PrivacyDuck - or both... Plus file some manual requests. [2021-06-02 14:33:14] [Robert Garry] Yeah - a good idea... [2021-06-02 14:41:49] [Eddie Holmes] Jesus Bob - that's bad. This is really not on. We can't make ourselves and our families targets. Sharri is so dumb - just wait til she finds out that I told the Chief Medical Officer and the intelligence services here that we thought it might be a lab leak...hang on, though, how can that be a cover-up? [2021-06-02 14:43:36] [Kristian Andersen] BECAUSE EDDIE!!! [2021-06-02 14:47:33] [Robert Garry] In other new it looks like the MOMA might actually let me use The Persistence of Memory along with my commentary The Persistence of Ebola regarding @Andrew Rambaut et al. sequencing paper on the newest Guinean Ebola outbreak coming out in _Nature_. Other good news - the mystery of the "thing" in PoM is solved - seems to be a bat - maybe a hammerhead bat. [shared file(s): image.png, image.png] [2021-06-02 14:50:37] [Eddie Holmes] I'm having doubts about the wisdom of our new letter: (i) it's crap - SO depressing that I spent ages cutting it down for it to be readded; (ii) it's late; (iii) there's so much hate out there that people will be reluctant to sign and I can't say I'm keen to get back in the firing line; (iv) what will it actually achieve - people have made their minds up. [2021-06-02 14:59:43] [Kristian Andersen] We'll get it back in shape, I'm sure. Let's decide on next steps once we have it - I very much think it's worthwhile to have it out there for something to point to. [2021-06-02 15:00:24] [Kristian Andersen] I have a lot of urgent shit to deal with today, but I'll have some time tomorrow (hopefully...) to go through it - I think it can be brought back to life and the full version history is saved.
