I'm not sold on the frozen food thing either - far from it. But I think that the positive grate plus Eddie's raccoon dog pics are pretty nearly the same thing to actually have taken the swab directly from the animal's ass.
-
The grates, totally - and yes, raccoon dogs, or whatever other animal for that matter. Makes perfect sense. But how that fits in with frozen foods, I don't understand. That said, Marion must have something good here, otherwise there's no way she'd go down that path - she's much, much too smart for that. There must be some actual evidence.

Then there is the whole lineage A and B = the animals in the Huanan market are lineage B, so how did lineage A get started? The NEJM paper says other case werelinked to other markets, but which ones and which were sequenced Idon't know,.

My read as well -on Marion.

Yes, Marion is cautious so they must have something. Hope they release soon. I may have told you but I also heard that they had discounted the Dec 1 case and the earliest known one is now Dec 8. I also think I heard that while this patient had no link to the market his parents had some sort of link to another live animal market. Not sure is this issomething or not.
-
Dec 8 is consistent with the graph from the CCDC NEJM paper.

I think there's _a lot_ of early unsampled diversity, which can help explain the A vs B split. Much focus turned to the Huanan market, where super spreading might have occurred, so we end up having very biased sampling early on.
