The question is whether the progenitor of SC2 is endemic in Chinese pangos or Malaysian ones and is being imported. I think Chinese pangos are pretty thin on the ground these days for obvious reasons.

In context

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

Yes Billy, Yuri and the DRASTIC crowd going nuts...as @Kristian Andersen said data/smata they'll just move the goalposts.

Apparently, the PREDICT crowd got added after they claimed it was their sample.

They said same about GD pango of course which is why pango serology is important. Pango actually carry the virus.

Which is what I always thought!! I never really believed the single outbreak stuff because there are 2 pango lineages.

@Eddie Holmes Typical - surprised she's not first author. First/last authors on all papers was the "deal" Metabiota[Wolfe/@longcovidfaker] made with all their predict sites.

Or the pangos are just susceptible to most of the viruses in this branch of serbecoviruses

@Eddie Holmes Indeed. But the Cambodians insisted it wasn't their sample.

Clearly the branch is widely distributed in bats
