He bloody knew. No doubt. Yes, I was the go-between with TIME and Zhang. I told him not to do it - I thought there might be trouble - but his ego got the better of him.

Zhang has now been booted out of China CDC and is now full-time in Shanghai. George is absolutely furious with him for stealing his glory. At the end of the day, it's allo about ego.

The other thing is that sequencing report I sent was from WeChat. This chat was all over social media in China. And yet there is no chat about nothing from WIV.

Oh, and obviously, our patient was sequenced in Shanghai (and was a fish market worker). So, clearly sequencing contamination at WIV.

Trump in quarantine is a pretty big deal - this will be interesting...

Yeah, I can see that... I didn't think about that with Time 100, but obviously that must have pissed off George like nothing else.
