0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.5	From microbe TV, this is TWIV, this week in virology, episode 991 recorded on March 10th,
0:19.4	2020-23, Vincent Racken Yellow. And you are listening to the podcast all about viruses,
0:27.6	joining me today here in New York at the incubator, Dixon de Palmier. Hello, Vincent and everybody
0:34.2	else. Why do you insist on saying hello at Vincent and everyone else when there's no one else
0:39.3	here yet? Everybody knows there's going to be somebody else now. Come on. Well, if they're
0:44.0	worried, would you not say it everybody else? That's right. If it was just a two of us, I would start
0:48.8	an enormously long philosophical discourse. What are you going to say the weather or something?
0:54.9	I was going to say I would love to tell you what the weather is like outside, but I
0:58.4	don't have windows here, so that's not going to happen. Well, it's eight degrees Celsius and light

1:31.6	bonnet's are up. Oh, great. The red bud has peaked and as well as way out, the leaves are coming
1:38.4	out on the trees. The grass is growing. Oh, I love the bees are buzzing. The birds are singing. The
1:44.4	ironsons are up. Man, it's awesome. Wow. Here, it's still winter, right? It's still, but you
1:50.2	can tell it's kind of trying to creep out of it. The trees are getting fat. I told that to my wife,
1:55.4	a shoe. Did they really? Yeah, they are. You can actually see the difference. What is it like two
1:59.2	or three percent swelling? Yeah, but if you're looking through a bunch of them, you can't see the
2:04.0	end of that. I see. You got it. Also joining us from Western Massachusetts, Alan Dove. Good to be
2:10.8	here. It's a 49 Fahrenheit, nine Celsius, and it's clouding over. It's, it was sunny and now
