0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.4	From micro TV, this is Twiv, this week in virology, episode 999 recorded on April 7th, 2023.
0:20.9	I'm Vincent Racken-Ello and you're listening to the podcast, All About Viruses.
0:26.3	Joining me today from Fort Leigh, New Jersey, Dixon de Pommeier.
0:30.5	Hello, Vincent. Yesterday was a remarkable day in Earth history in that the temperature hit 85
0:37.9	degrees in Fort Leigh, New Jersey and that actually should have never happened. Today it's a little
0:43.9	bit cooler. It made sleeping last night very interesting and the weather outside right now is
0:50.1	typical change over spring weather. I don't even know if the temperature is.
0:55.3	So we have 14 C. Oh good. And there's a red flag warning.
1:00.5	Probably thunderstorms. It says not probably thunderstorms. What's a red flag, Alan?
1:07.2	Don't fly. Let me introduce Alan so he can tell us. Also joining us from Western Massachusetts,
1:12.4	Alan Dove. Good to be here. Here in Western mass, it's 50 Fahrenheit, 10 C. We also have a red flag
1:19.6	warning. That is for dry conditions and high winds, fire weather. Okay.
1:26.7	So it's north. We're going to northwest at 21, gusting 29 miles per hour and supposed to be
1:32.4	gusting into the 30s and everything's dry enough that apparently it can catch fire pretty easily.
1:40.5	Because at the ocean, a red flag, you can't go in the water, I think. That's it. Yeah, that's like
1:46.0	swimming or you can have a small craft advisory for boats. But
1:50.7	also joining us from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Kathy Spindler. Hi everybody. Here it's 49 Fahrenheit,
1:56.5	nine Celsius, perfectly sunny, clear sky and would be great night if they had sent me an ISS
2:04.0	alert, but I didn't get one for tonight. They usually send them and they're going to be cloudy
2:09.9	night. So I don't bother. This was joining us from Madison, New Jersey, Brienne Barker.
2:16.0	Hi, great to be here. It is also a 14 C 57 Fahrenheit here and it's getting ready to rain.
