From the 1st annual XMRV conference

[leaves]

could you all take it outside? thanks

 

[George]

so the NIH has a 100% accurate test. When will it be available to the public and will SSI/ Insurance cover it. (big grins)

George,
Are you still planning to start a new "clean" thread when the Q&A comes on?

Thank god for that, best news all day! champagne!

 

[leaves]

hmm interesting that, but weve heard that one before no??

 

[George]

Any bet's?

(big grins) There are currently 45 people watching videos on the NIH video cast, anyone want to bet we take the server down at 5:20??? (big grins) It's going to be tough when 2 to 5 thousand people hit the server at the same time from all over the world. Should let em know we're listening.

 

[VillageLife]

Yep, my hopes are so high, come on scientists, cant you give everyone a test tomorrow!?

 

[George]

George,
Are you still planning to start a new "clean" thread when the Q&A comes on?

I don't know what do you guys think? Does it need it's own thread???

 

[ixchelkali]

Does anyone know if the Q&A Webcast will be available to watch again later, like the CFSAC meeting webcasts are? I tend to miss a lot when I'm watching live, and like to view them again.

This thread would do fine if we could continue the Huber discussion on a new thread. This thread topic will be easier to find later for those who are following live.

 

[julius]

Things seem to have calmed down. This thread should be fine. Mark, are you still here to keep things nice?

George, where did you get the 100% accuracy thing?

 

[FancyMyBlood]

Just woke up from a quick nap. While I'm still exhausted, for no money in the world I'd miss this webcast. Although it looks a bit delayed....

Nice to see a reliable test for XMRV, I think this test will help us to understand a lot more about the controversial discrepancies in all the studies. I don't know if CC twitter simplified it's tweet but I suppose this is only a XMRV assay, not the other MLVs?

Mary Kearney said it per the CC twitter.

PS Nice to see another lion here, Julius.

Hee Hee, I hope I'm not stealing your thunder.

 

[VillageLife]

so it says on twitter Kearney is on now.....which means there behind ??
so the Q&A will be delayed, its nearly 10pm here in the UK, better have a cup of tea and wake up.

 

[leaves]

hey sorry guys; but where should you go to watch the q and a? is there a link?

 

[ixchelkali]

Once we're on the NIH webcast page at http://videocast.nih.gov/ is there something else we need to do to access the webcast? I don't want to miss it because I didn't find a link, or something.

 

[SOC]

I don't know what do you guys think? Does it need it's own thread???

Just wondering about the chit chat we've been engaging in while waiting. A new thread would avoid people having to trip through our merry casual conversation (and other things) in order to find info from the Q&A. I don't care either way -- just thinking'.......

 

[George]

Does anyone know if the Q&A Webcast will be available to watch again later, like the CFSAC meeting webcasts are? I tend to miss a lot when I'm watching live, and like to view them again.

Yep, available in 2 to 3 days. I know they get the CFSAC up in 24 hours so even if ya miss it, ya won't miss it.

Yes, everybody has been absolutely wonderful I think we will keep this thread and I look forward to a good hash out on the Dr. Hubner thread. . . .tomorrow. (grins) Cause I'm at the point of having trouble typing now. Gakk!

From twitter:

# Bannert: None of the 36 CFS patients or 27 healthy controls tested positive for XMRV. #XMRV #MECFS half a minute ago via HootSuite


Norbert Bannert from Robert Koch-Institut: Based on his sequencing, he could not find XMRV in CFS or ME patients in Germany. #XMRV #MECFS 3 minutes ago via HootSuite


How come they're announcing the negative results? Is it because this isn't news - we know that there are negative studies for XMRV, and releasing more of them isn't a problem? The Huber one still hasn't been published, so maybe there's not much interest in them?
