@Eddie Holmes I have emailed Sebastian and Peter to tell them it is incorrect. I will probably get a phone call from Peter as a result.

In context

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

    @Eddie Holmes My guess is they are using the submission date/time (which is listed as 10th) but the GISAID site didn't go live until the 12th.

    @Eddie Holmes I think they must have been quickly developing the database for a while before then (they would have had to have known what the virus was to create it).

    @Eddie Holmes I am guessing it was planned to be timed with a press conference at the WHO or something but your virological post forced their hand.

    @Eddie Holmes Hence the back channel thing I heard from Trevor that the WHO was saying it had been 'leaked'.
