    Just got this from Dominic in Wuhan - "Real argy bargy here in Wuhan. The head Chinese guy just said that your photos of the Huanan market might have been synthesised!". WTFuck is going on?? Perhaps they denying they even had mammals there? Weird.

    Does that suggest the WHO group are suggesting a direct role for the market?

    There's definitely something going on re: the market but I can't quite think what. Could just be a direct link or justtying-up loose ends before eliminating it. Daszak says he was going to use the photos for species identification. This leads me to think that the officials must have denied that the species I photographed were ever in the market but that my crappy photos prove otherwise. I also wonder if those 'environmental samples' are actually more informative that we think.
