@Kristian Andersen Ah, okay - so not all _that_ mutationally 'saturated'. That's a pretty big clade though - and Ididn't quite realize how many mutations pop up in ORF1ab, although that's of course a very big gene.

    I started to write another email to Bonin pointing out the fact-free bullshit. We'll see where this goes - I'm thinking that Eddie is albsolutely right about the pulled punches. We should take some of the worthy facts out of the report and write a punched up PO2 - just the facts - by that I mean the science.

    It's kinda scary - I mean, Pottinger is directly accusing China of creating this virus for military purposes, yet, hedoesn't need to provide any evidence at all?

    Decided it wasn't worth to electrons to point out the crap - different agenda - just trying to get viewers.
