Jack also estimated how much evolutionary potential WNV E might have available for future adaptation, and compared our DMS data to natural diversity of flaviviruses to examine how well DMS data predicts evolution of related viruses. Very cool, comprehensive analysis!

I’m not saying they won’t try to not pay us, but this isn’t confirmation of that.
Even in 2019 furlough was referred to as a type of “non-pay status” by OPM. www.opm.gov/chcoc/transm...

That is all speculation. Irresponsible.

I don’t have any inside information, just recommend you not create uncertainty for those affected unless it’s warranted.

No, but I have rec’d documents related to furlough that use this language from earlier this month. E.g. a letter to creditors to exercise leniency with furloughed employees.
We were told the the notice would be reissued after 30 days if necessary.

This is a misinterpretation. All furloughed employees are in “non-duty, non-pay” status since Oct. 1. The language has been used in other communications. It does not mean they will not be paid.
