Fascinating biology though: those supposed cases at WIV were in November, which means that the initial incubation period was 2 months from the initial lab leak. What an amazing virus.

So, is the idea that they knew there was a lab leak in September and took down their databases then, but didn't actually tell anyone or do anything for 3 months? Seriously?

"Unable to ask a hard question" - that was essentially what I told Jim - that I was deeply disappointed that he neverchallenged ANY of his subjects with a single relevant question.

Doesn't have to make any logical sense - just has to sound ominous. No science involved at all. I'm convinced that all or most of the Parisites and their sycophants (like Lipstich and Relman) couldn't care less about origins - they are simply looking to be in the news and/or re-litigate old lost battles.
