I agree that being able to culture live virus from the environmental samples means Cts in the mid to low 20s. Viable virus clearly - the complete (near complete) genomes from one pass on Vero cells are on GISAID. maybe the the Chinese database too.

    So I think that I read that they were able to map the positive environmental sampleson the map that PD is rolling upin the picture. We also heard that at least some of the samples 'mapped" to the live animal stalls, including the grate under Eddie's raccoon dogs.

    These are the environmental samples put on GISAID by George? All identical to Wuhan-Hu-1?

    Makes me think that 'lineage A' was a different market (possibly A.1 - i.e., WA1 too).

    YES! :100:

    The lineage A and B is a big clue - argues against lab leak - otherwise the nefarious Shi and her henchmen seedednot one but 2 markets with two lineages to cover their tracks?

    Although they would argue that B in the market evolved from A and thus proves that the market was not the origin
