The noise is like a roaring highway though - and driven by some very high profile scientists. It's sad, really.

In context

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

The evidence is pretty well laid out in Annex D

If you go to the end PBS actually does some real reporting - they quote 3 current White House staff to the effect that the Pompeo DoS "fact sheet" was cherry-picked out of a cacophony of noise.

One think we predict though was that having Daszak on has back-fired badly. What were they thinking?

All we can do is ignore all this noise and just try to focus on the science.

True, but there's no way that China will let another team in so ultimately it's all pointless

Is there a plan to "publish" a summary report? Is the WHO team going to do a joint publication? Seems like perhapsPO2 might now be in order.

Can't believe WHO will publish. There's also Daszak's Lancet Commission. PO2 is an idea...to focus tightly on the science. Can we plan this after Easter? I'll see where we are with the pangolins.

IIRC The Lancet thing is targeted for end of the year . Yes - after Easter GOOD! Lots of science has come since PO1.
