Jesus, will they ever shut up about the miners? Fuck me. Yes, I've spoked to David a few times. He's a good guy: his book will be all zoonoses. There are going to be a lot of books...

The visa thing was pure @covidfaker/Nathan Wolfe bullshit. But yes it's difficult to understand the "outbreak culture."

Hopefully, when the Cambobat CoV paper comes out it will provide an opportunity to driven another stake thru the heart of the miner/RaTG13 BS. Ed Yong is apparently on break, but there are a few other reporters with the chops toget that story correct.
