I love this old bit about the SARS hunt - exactly the same question people have brought up as being suspicious about SARS2. We still don't know exactly how SARS got from Yunnan to Guangdong (but, animal trading a very likely explanation...). https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-07766-9 [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-05-28 at 3.27.47 PM.png]

I love how simple the paper is - I also love the fact that the paper was named "nCov_Lancet". I guess it never got published :slightly_smiling_face:
