   If the 99% SC2 is a fish virus that came in to Wuhan on packaged seafood, I'll be rather shocked. But, what do Iknow? Eddie is the undisputed master of fish viruses.

   Yeah, I found the article a little strange and unclear

   Oh dear. Mammalian coronaviruses are respiratory transmitted. That must be the greatest risk. The fish coronaviruses are phylogenetically distinct. So, this effectively suggests that there was some frozen mammal meatat the market. Surely BS. I think that Shi is being made to tow the party line here. Useless.

   Also, didn't they detect the virus on lots of environmental samples from surfaces in the market? I don't think you'd expect this from an imported packet of frozen pangolin.
