Well, if they have data now, what's to say they didn't have shit load of data prior to the pandemic...? Asking for a friend... :wink:

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Reminds me of a classic British TV show called 'Z Cars'. I hope the Z Division play the same iconic music at the startof each day (interesting factoid is that Everton FC in UK still play this tune when they run onto the pitch):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWflrCrwUSw

    Random thought. Weifeng identified 24 bat CoVs in 1100 hectare area. So, if people, such as the China CDC, have been sampling bats in Yunnan and other Chinese provinces then they must be detecting coronaviruses. That's a racing certainly. But there is no information in the public domain on what they have found. Hence, they mudt be sitting on data.

    I don't have a sense of how evenly distributed CoVs are, so it's likely that there are 'pockets' of very high density,while most pockets have none/little. That said, I'm sure there's more data to be shared....

    I'm 100% certain of it. I bet they have a shit load of data. Question is whether it will ever see the light of day.

    No, they weren't looking then. The China CDC had no interest in this until after the pandemic started.

    Ah, I see what you're saying - yes, sampling has increased by _a lot_, I'm sure. Will be interesting to see what they find - probably a fuck ton of SARSr-CoVs so we have additional reason to be concerned....
