Haha, love the poster :zany_face:

    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.

    Good for them - WSJ should read this... "The theory needs to be laid to rest lest it distracts from scientific tracking ofthe virus" :clap:

    It's :point_down: all over again, which I said in reply to Amy. _I think a lot of people don't (or don't want to) really understand how the WHO works or its mandate. There is somuch focus on "WE MUST GO IN TO FULLY INVESTIGATE WIV!", while the more important study is acollaborative endeavor, focusing on the more likely scenarios._I don't think the likes of Jesse understand this. Any of it.

    Yes, totally agree. Clearly, a lot of the people who are currently mouthing off are failing to understand these basic points.
