Jo,

It hasn't happened yet. You guys are a little ahead of us. It will be tomorrow for us in the states, about 17 hours from when I post this. I'm assuming they'll post the transcript online shortly thereafter.

[megluth72]

Sorry - I meant that last message to Neicy.

[carla]

They should have started it a year ago.Lets hope they give a date for the start and stick to it this time.

[niecy]

Hey Jo, I guess time is standing still for me, I'm asking what they talked about, like today's Wednesday(which I thought it was) I was soooooo excited cause I sent them some pretty direct emails last night and today!!! I am trying to figure out where or how to hear it!!!!

[niecy]

Hi megluth, this is Niecy, I never received a msg from you, just thought I'd let you know. Got a little ahead of myself, thought today was WednesdayLOL, so I was excited there for a minute. How are you???

Neicy,

I've been pretty sick here lately (ill feeling) and apparently can't read. I first called you the wrong name, then thought you lived in England. Lol. Time for me to back to bed! Every day is a new adventure with this stuff!

[jonsi]

I set my cell phone alarm to go off 10 minutes b4 this is supposed to start.

Think any of us will actually get thru to ask a question?

Anyone have ideas what would be some good questions to ask? I'd hate to get through and then get brain-fog!! "Duh...um...well..." click

I love the way the CDC have given everybody 1 days notice on this one. The details were for immediate press release on 15th Jan 2008 for a teleconference the next day. Runswithscissors is very much on the ball to pick it up.

Who does business with one day's notice sorry but i think the CDC are pathetic.
