    @Eddie Holmes Alina and others believe that there is a worldwide conspiracy to flood GSAID and GenBank with fabricated sequences. In addition to "scientist" turned detective I guess we need to add enforcer of database integrity.

    The 60 Minutes producer was impressed that I was willing to call conspiracy theories --- well -- conspiracy theories. Apparently they are off to interview and in studio PANEL:• Jason Yat Sen Li• Prof Mary-Louise McLaws - UNSW and advisor to the WHO• Prof Bates Gill - Professor with the Department of Security Studies at Macquarie University• Professor Raina MacIntyre - Global Biosecurity and head of biosecurity program at Kirby Institute• Professor Nikolai Petrovsky - Medicine Flinders University

    Nikolai Petrovsky I gather believes like Alina that SC2 is just too good at infecting humans and therefore was adapted in the lab.

    Oh god...Bates is good (that is his real name)

    Re Nikolai: I told him that SC2 was good at infecting a lot of animals: cats dogs, lions tigers, gorillas, mink and ferrets. Also that SC2 is still clearly adapting and getting better at infecting and being transmitted by humans.
