[2021-06-03 14:25:58] [Robert Garry] Best line in contagion - WE don't have to weaponize the bird flu - the birds are doing it.

But, they are persistent. [2021-06-03 14:52:29] [Andrew Rambaut] I got an email for that too. Ignored it [2021-06-03 15:01:46] [Robert Garry] I made the mistake of picking up the phone (you know public phone number, address and everything, which I will fix).

[2021-06-03 15:03:51] [Andrew Rambaut] I no longer have a 'land-line' phone [2021-06-03 15:09:47] [Robert Garry] :+1:The only reason we do still have it are the adult daughters 2 of whom tend to live all over the world and sentimentality. That land line is their permanent number - they need one for the State Department and UN. I just need to get it out of the public directories and take my office number out of my email.
