@Eddie Holmes Mark them as pissed - and typical Alina it's all about the bribes to reporters etc. [shared file(s): image.png]

@Robert Garry @Peterfoodsafety is the lead from WHO so I guess I just answered my own question about the frozen fish...

My expectations were low. It's actually worse than you might expect.

Thinking how angry they must be this morning really warms my heart. It's pretty great that the WHO have said that the lab escape idea is not worth further discussion.

Yes - a bad day for Alina and the DRASTIC krewe. The frozen food thing is weak and looks like a concession to the Chinese. Other than that OK - Hard to listen to the video....

Totally agree about the frozen food thing - must be a concession. That and the Thai study is a heavy blow. I'm particularly pleased by the pangolin results. Bob - I couldn't access the Google Doc as I don't have permission.

It says anyone with this link can access the paper..

I think I have both your gmail and .edu emails as editors. But Kristian is right - sometimes tech uses me instead ofthe other way around...

Have at it - nothing written in stone - I do think there are some relevant things to add in a timely way to the WHO report including the impact of the Thai and other viruses...

Yes, Linfa's paper is another blow to the lab escape looms

Loons as well

The WHO guy is @PeterFoodSafety so I think he might be carrying some strong priors.
2021-02-09 12:24 Edward C. Holmes open PDF p.504

Good point
2021-02-09 12:28 Robert F. Garry open PDF p.504

They are clear though - Lab Escape is "extremely Unlikely."

Does the link work for you now Eddie?
2021-02-09 12:56 Edward C. Holmes open PDF p.504

It does! Thanks Bob!
2021-02-09 12:58 Robert F. Garry open PDF p.504

Thank you Eddie - I don't think any of Cambo, Thai and Japan bat papers quite link everything together. Needs to bedone...

I agree.
