What also annoys me is that Peter should have seen this coming and it is worse than he was suggesting a few days ago. He's a jackass. We still have no evidence for SC2 in that lab and they must have sequenced it first. But it isvery striking that a bat-derived CoV with an FCS turns up in a city that was on a grant proposing to muck around with FCSs in bat-derived CoVs.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.
