    From the journo Eddie was talking to - "the pangolins WIV was using in CoV studies". Wait, what? Do we know about WIV working in pangolin CoVs in the lab? If so, that's huge - I haven't heard anything about that. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-04 at 9.42.11 AM.png]

    He must be mistaken - maybe he taking about the original pango studies that were reported in 2019 viruses paper. And yes Eddies on some of the pango papers and I think a para flu papers where they are sick with C19-likeillnesses.

    I think so too - and I just followed up with him about that, plus this. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-04 at9.48.17 AM.png]

    If he can find evidence of pangolins at the Huanan market and link that back to e.g., that wildlife rescue center, holysmokes - I mean, that would be an actual smoking gun. A big one.

    It's actually not crazy - a dead pangolin is no good in a wildlife rescue center, but it's HIGHLY valuable in a wet market. Bloody hell - if true, this would be so obvious.
