    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

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