That's it!! Both Daszak and Dominic told me the same - they don't like the market link because it makes them look'dirty' and undermines their culture

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    If only we had timing on these cases... Where are the early cases? South-East or North-West of the river?

    Seems like North-West also primarily residential - at least from what I can get from Google Maps (naming of the districts within the city). [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-29 at 8.33.14 PM.png]

    Good questions My take on the whole thing is that they clearly think there's an intermediate host and they are holding up the marketas an example of the trade that leads to this transmission Daszak clearly thinks it the market which is why he sent me the video There's a lot on the market in the main doc - 2 journos told me they had the same impression

    Yeah, I get the sense that the Chinese are trying to deflect as much as possible away from the market, not being concerned with the lab leak because they know it didn't come from there. But it certainly isn't helping - the market,by far, seems like the most logical explanation.

    Also, if Shi is lying so is Daszak and that would take monumental cajones
  7. 2021-03-29 20:49 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Yeah, I think they're concerned about potential "wild animal" farming and how that might have led to this - presumably big industry.

    Totally

    A little hmmmm on this one though - here's a hybrid map I made. Look at that South-East cluster. I want to know dates. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-29 at 8.48.06 PM.png]
