Yup - and I'm sure you will before the rest of us! Pangolying idiot!

    In any case - this is going to course another shit storm for the Chinese they're going to have a very hard time cleaning up - let's hope it happens after the election....

    The most basal sample being WH4 - this one: https:/Avww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/SAMEA6507893. The GPS coordinates on that points to a nursing home right next to the Line 2 main station (patient being a 39 old man). SLACK_000460 Very interesting - it appears that there might have been some early cases the world didn't know about... (or rather, cases they _did_ know about, but they occurred earlier)

    Dear Eddie, Thank you for your email. To be honest, I noticed the outbreak from the media in the morning of December 31, 2019. George knew the outbreak several hours earlier than me, midnight December 30, 2019 also from the media. In addition, as you know, what I do is to analyze the genome sequences from BGI and China CDC. I don't know what is going on with the information you sent. I guess it might be a typo. Anyway, I have contacted the collaborator from BGI to give a logical explannation. If necessary, I will tell this to George. Best wishes, Weifeng

    I think the GPS coordinates are truncated to two decimal places so I wouldn't make too much inference from them (assume +/- 1km).
