    This is the program I am in. The person behind it was very good. I guess it will be similar to that NYT article - high level fuck-ups all around. It will be very interesting to see how much she blames George directly.

    I actually don't think George was hiding stuff - I just think he's a bit useless. Also he has an ego the size of a planet and he is madly angry with Zhang because he probably think his Noble prize has gone.

    Looking forward to seeing it! China surely hoped this would just go away not at all unlike Trump. Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia just hoped Ebola would go away. Speak up and get called an alarmist. Seems like it was much worse in China, which is also to their discredit. For me easy to separate the science questions on origins from the political questions about the cover-ups during the early outbreak. But, see how that's difficult for people that don't doorigins every day for the past year.

    Jane who wrote that piece also did the film. Very smart.
