   @Eddie Holmes (but they apparently don't have any issues with a researcher magically picking up the next pandemic virus from a bat butt. Okay, then - A+ for stats).

   @Eddie Holmes And shows why the conspiracy theorists are so keen to attack the pangolin data

   @Eddie Holmes It's a really inconvenient piece of evidence. It's the one thing that solidified my belief.

   @Eddie Holmes The large city thing that Eddie identified is important to counter the WIV is in Wuhan.

   @Eddie Holmes Yes, no one would engineer that RBD so it has to be natural. And if that's natural so is the FCS. That then must mean they had a virus very close to SC2 at WIV. But if had worked on and sequenced such a virus -which would have been so interesting - why is there no record of it in their data or a paper? If both such a virus and RaTG13 had come out of a mine in Yunnan would they have only published RaTG13?

   Look forward to it! It was an interesting experience getting 3 competing groups to all work together and just publish one good paper!

   Well done - if you don't mind I'll mention that very thing [in a nice way].

   @Eddie Holmes SC1 in Foshan (7.2M ppl) farmers, market vendors, and chefs). Agree that Eddie HKU1 emerging in Shenzhen (13M ppl) is instructive.
