When they say 'and' do they actually mean 'or'?

    I can confidently predict that the number of emails containing the words - "Phytogenic'", "coronavirus", "Wuhan", _and_ "GISAID" is zero.

    Going back to this channel for this but this stuff about the DARPA proposal makes me even more angry about the DT letter (if it is indeed Baric) - he knew how suspicious a FCS would look back then.
