DRASTIC thinks NellY was a mouse mutation engineered into circulating SC2 by the CCP army to take out the UK. That theory is based on https://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6511/1603.full

I'm surprised it took them so long to speculate about lab origins of the variants. Way more likely (but still highly unlikely...) than the initial spillover.

Yes. They waited for an imported case from London, engineered in all the mutations and then shipped it back to Kent to release it.

Maybe even a special genetically-engineered Superdog? That Trump era intel really needs to be released ASAP.
