Oh, let Sharri see these... :wink:. (maybe not).

In context

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

    None of this was about a possible lab leak. And all shit that hit the fan afterwards...none of that was about a possible lab leak either.

    I don't understand why people don't understand that - it's really rather simple if you have a little bit of insight into outbreak response. But maybe people either have (a) no experience whatsoever in outbreak response, or (b) they don't _want_ to understand. Very insightful from you btw - early January... I mean, we knew nothing at the time. "The latter is obviously very bad" will haunt you forever... :wink:. Will these emails be public at some point?

    I've compiled a load. Perhaps I should publish them all? I'm happy to share with the security services. Here are 3more from Jan 7/8 which are very interesting. Clearly show that the Ministry of Health were blocking information.

    Happy to send to Tony if he wants them.

    I think Tony totally gets it - he more than anybody knows the politics involved.

    In Zhang's one it is totally clear it's about controlling the message and getting credit.

    Yup - which isn't surprising. Would have happened anywhere, but even more acute in China.
