   Military research. So idiotic. The reality is that the only shot the west had at looking at WIV was the WHO trip and that was a one off. People like the WaPo can moan all they like but there's no way China will let another team in. All this posturing may sell books but it's game over when it comes to finding out what they had.

   The SC2 positive grate under your raccoon dog cage is all I really care about at this point. Plus I am pretty sure Iheard that most of the other SC2 positive environmental swabs were taken the stalls where they sold the live animals. That's a pretty big coincidence - the virus leaked from the WIV precisely all the way to that grate that had just been under a live animal that just happened to be in a market selling wild animals. I predict another move of thegoalposts however - CCP must have planted the samples there.

   Completely agree. Balls in WHO's court now.

   The DoS materials mention some joint publications. Tell me how that translates to "secret."

   Can somebody please tell me how this is _any_ different from natural emergence? Because it's associated with research activity? A very specific low probability event compared to the alternative scenario... It's so dumb.
