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.

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

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

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.

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