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....

In context

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

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.

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:

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