Yes, I saw that. Waste of time. About 3-4 weeks I emailed GG to see if could meet up with Dominic Dwyer - my mate from Sydney who is on the WHOO commission. TODAY he replies saying that he will try and find a time-slot. She also implied that they would be looking at the early European data which is ridiculous.

In context

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

Ok, some CONFIDENTIAL pango news: UHK have animals confiscated in 2013 and 2018 in Hong Kong. Direct from Malaysia we think. Of those 9 are seropositive (using the Wantai ELISA SARS-CoV-2 assay) and 5 are PCR positive using Hybribio SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR kit, although 4 of these have high CT values. Enrichment, meta-transcriptomics and luciferase immunosorbent assays (to rule out cross-reaction) ongoing. At face value suggests that SARS-like CoVs have been in Malayan pangos for a while but this needs to be confirmed. I'll update when I have more news. Obviously keep to yourself.
