Just came in to look at the pango sequence EPI_ISL_610156 Manis pentadactyla mentioned in the new virological post - important that it's there for the reasons mentioned in the excellence post fromm Lytras et al. unfortunately a lotof missing sequence so not much use for comparison at least in spike. "The key, and urgent question to minimisefuture spillovers, is thus *not*, how did SARS-CoV-2 get from Yunnan to Hubei, but rather which bat or other Chinese animal species are harbouring nCoV _Sarbecoviruses_?"

    Don't hold your breath for a Dr Yan-like blueprint from Dr Chan - my major problem with her bullshit. Eddie was right about the shit-fanning however. I just hope that Biden's new WH science advisor has not slipped over into the tinfoil hat crowd. [shared file(s): image.png]

    Nice of you to say this Alina - except that your f'ing wall of crazy pointed the finger at all of us running dogs and your DRASTIC buddies post content with cocks drawn on our heads and much worse: [shared file(s): image.png]

    Not to mention the FOIA ~requests~ harassment from your antiGMO buddies.
