Nope, it's _exactly_ the same as previously reported - NO new information.

    Indeed - I want to archive this here May 23, 2021. Alina apparently reading the WHO report for the first time - did not stop her from saying in the science ltr that WHO report provided no evidence. [shared file(s): image.png]

    Thought so. If 3 staff were sick enough to go to hospital then any outbreak at WIV must have been substantial.

    And of course, the molecular clock dates put the origin of the virus back to September or so

    CNN have it better: "The current intelligence reinforces the belief that the virus most likely originated naturally, from animal-human contact, the sources said. But that does not preclude the possibility that the virus was the result of anaccidental leak from the Wuhan Institute, where coronavirus research was being conducted on bats."
