Speaking of animals and such - I don't know if some of you might want to chime in on this... https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1273632816983683079?s=20

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Had a quick look...if Alina is suggesting that the pangolin RBD came from humans she's totally mad (look at the synonymous diversity). 100% clear that that RBD is out there in nature. Not sure what hosts, but definitely in nature.

Yeah, I'm not sure what she's suggesting... Either from human or somebody invented the sequence. Hasn't that sequence been seen from multiple animals by multiple labs?

Yes, it has. The two pangolin papers in Nature (different groups) both show the same RBD in the animals from Guangdong.
