    Look at the last tweet in that thread too. Bringing up bacteria... ANYBODY with a little bit of knowledge would look atthat and say "wait, what, he doesn't even understand the basics"?Unreal. I really respect Marc a lot - as in, a lot. But this is uninformed and naive. [shared file(s): Screen Shot2021-05-25 at 7.19.25 PM.png]

    Yeah - that's what SARS-CoV-2 did. It jumped out of a tube and into a person. And then it caused a super spreading event at a wet market. And then the pandemic. Simple, really.I was kinda hoping Alex would go in for the kill... Good thing Andrew is asleep.

    Just supreme arrogance. The other question is where this will all end? Will China seriously allow another, more detailed investigation? I think not. SLACK_001089

    Just had a long talk (70 minutes) with Carl Zimmer - brought up some of these points.

    Good. Let's hope this can get back on track - but I'm not hopeful in the short term.

    Zimmer writes with Gorman so could go anywhere.

    No chance in the short-term
