I agree - that you would do it. I would they accept any positive SC2 in an animal? Yes, best not mention the smoking dog yet...

In context

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

    The question ought to be 'what evidence would proponents of the lab escape theory accept as disproving lab escape?'

    SC2 in an animal should do it. Having a virus positive environmental sample from under a cage is damn close. No other way that virus could have gotten there except from the animals in the cage.

    Need to think a bit more about the lineage A and B conundrum, but I think that too is consistent. Closer look at the Market associated environmental and human sample sequences in the context of the smoking dog will be revealing Ithink.

    I've been very careful not to mention the smoking dog to any reporters yet, but looking forward to the opportunity when the report is dropped.
