Agreed on the Nature article - a lot of good quotes from Eddie and it's clear our man is the only one who really getsit. "The priority should be to "follow the animals", starting at the Huanan market" - :100:, can't stress this enough. David is typically good, but I have seen a lot of quotes like this "The details in the report were helpful, but didn't include much new information, says David Robertson" and it really bothers me - there's a ton of new stuff in the report and that just isn't highlighted enough. Sure, it doesn't answer the *big* question about origins, but it never could - but that doesn't mean it didn't add a lot of new knowledge and data. It clearly did - if you take the ten hours required to read it in detail....
