   I'm glad Alina is such a great expert on so many important topics - whether it be lab leak detection or whether people should sample from bats or not. She literally has decades of highly relevant experience in this space.

   A different start to that article could be "We're getting into contact with SARS-like coronaviruses all the time, and aswe're encroaching on animal habitat, the risks of spillovers will continue to increase, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV being early warning signs of what to expect in future". There, much better.

   "We're getting into contact with SARS-like coronaviruses all the time, and as we're encroaching on animal habitat,the risks of spillovers will continue to increase, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV being early warning signs of what to expect in future". Seems right to me, but unfortunately we have the Daziaks and Wolfes of the worldon one side saying just give us billions for GVP and we'll solve ALL this and the Ebirights, Relmans and other saying just STOP all this dangerous work. I am not hearing so much the sane third way and that's a problem since we livein a political world.
