    Has anyone tried translating it out of frame? Perhaps it says "MADEINCHINA"?

    ```Sars-Cov-2, the authors concluded, was likely to have gained its unique efficiency through a long, undetected period of circulation in humans or animals of a natural and milder precursor virus that eventually evolved into thepotent, deadly form first detected in Wuhan in 2019.```Eh?

    I can't stand to listen to him - he's disqualified from all further discussions (the worst thing is - he NEVER listens toANYBODY. It's all about him and only about him - and only he knows). He got Ebola wrong, he got Zika wrong, and he's now once again getting another virus wrong.I have no idea what he actually knows about - because even his virology knowledge (let alone genomics/epi/immunology, etc) is shockingly poor.

    Well, at least Butt Lesion actually knows what he's talking about - at least sometimes.
