   He hasn't replied yet to my question about whether the viral load stuff at various markets sites will be in but I assumeit must be otherwise it will be a waste of time. Sounds like this is all due to pushback from China which is why it isgoing into his Lancet report.

   Interesting - and definitely a lot of raccoon dogs in that video - civet cats at the market too? I really, really, really hope the viral load stuff will be in there - it's so critical!

   It has to be!! Surely. That's the key evidence.

   Any idea about what "tile patterning" means?
5. 2021-03-23 19:02 Kristian G. Andersen
   Yeah, what's that about

   Sorry, that's confusing as I've removed my questions that are interspersed. They used the tile patterning in my phototo find the exact spot where the cage was (on the grate with the high CT value). I asked him if this "tile patterning"detective work was in the WHO report and he said no, it's Lancet Commission. I'm not sure what the 'tilemeasurements' are exactly...perhaps just more evidence the pics are bona fide. That video is pretty amazing.

   That video - seems more high risk than handling a tube wearing full PPE. But maybe that's just me.

   Yes, that was definitely the MOST risky place in Wuhan. No doubt whatsoever!!

   That article Bob shared from Jason Gale is actually really good - just sticks to what we know and what we don't. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-04/where-are-we-in-hunting-for-the-coronavirus-s-origin-quicktake
