Really nice job on the edits Eddie! As for the WHO team I do hope they enjoy their visit. I've not changed my mind about prospects that this will turn out counter-productive. The most likely outcome a bunch of negative "data." 1. noepi links of early cases to WIV; 2. no smoking guns of closer relative than RaTG13 [bats, pangos, whatever]; 3. norecords of forced cell culture or animal passage of bat CoVs; 4. no record of accidents that could be spillovers. Thestraw man of a cover-up that Alina et al have been constructing will be immediately "confirmed," thus "adding" totheir evidence of lab escape.

In context

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