I like that poem - clever. I should frame it. Thanks Billy.

    Simone is a straight reporter. I don't think she believes lab escape.

    "Others argue it is possible there were viruses in the lab, or handled during research, that were not publicly known." This is it in a nutshell - good on Simone for writing it. The fact that the virus emerged in Wuhan are what Alina and her crowd have left PLUS the theories that WIV had SARS-CoV-2 or something very close from *nature* before the pandemic.

    Billy aka Kevin has written a poem about @Kristian Andersen. He and Nicholson Baker should write something together. [shared file(s): image.png]

    Such great work from Billy. I'm just surprised he can't get financed.

    Maybe he should try selling poetry on Amazon - happy to provide him with material.

    Given how cock obsessed Billy is it's not hard to imagine how microscopic his own member must be. I also suspectit requires its own gain of function.

    I was going to ask - how hard is it to collect samples with cultureable viruses? From what I am hearing it is difficult toculture SARS-CoV-2 from many samples so I would imagine sampling bats (say) you would be just hoping for RNA rather than infectious virus.
