   Oh, very exciting - thanks for the update Eddie! This bit "the base is animals from southern China" is key - and I think something Peter was excited about as well.

   Just enough edge to not come directly from the CCP :wink:

   (i) I think one could sense a little tension when Tedros said all hypotheses were still open. Not too surprising they can't agree on precise wording, but unfortunately delays fueling up the tinfoil hats. Would not be surprised if there wasn't a bit of pushback from multiple govts. (ii) One presumes Embarek is clearing things with WHO. Dazak is aloose cannon - sorta held it together for a NYTimes interview - otherwise not so good. (iii) I'm guessing a lot ofpeople have links to various wet markets. What's perhaps just as relevant - the missing of any link to WIV. IF there were links of ANY of the early cases to WIV or any other labs in Wuhan I am dubious that this could be covered upeven in China. Not impossible, but I believe unlikely. But yeah investigate the heck or of those early cases (iv)Investigate the animals too! I'm still waiting for then to go in with Lin-Fa's ACE2BOB assay and look foranti-sarbecovirus Abs in animals in YN, GD and further south.

   @Robert Garry - are the figures for the google doc available somewhere?
