If the 99% SC2 is a fish virus that came in to Wuhan on packaged seafood, I'll be rather shocked. But, what do I know? Eddie is the undisputed master of fish viruses. [2021-01-07 18:32:13] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, I found the article a little strange and unclear [2021-01-07 19:01:48] [Eddie Holmes] Oh dear. Mammalian coronaviruses are respiratory transmitted. That must be the greatest risk. The fish coronaviruses are phylogenetically distinct. So, this effectively suggests that there was some frozen mammal meat at the market. Surely BS. I think that Shi is being made to tow the party line here. Useless. [2021-01-07 19:14:05] [Eddie Holmes] Also, didn't they detect the virus on lots of environmental samples from surfaces in the market? I don't think you'd expect this from an imported packet of frozen pangolin. [2021-01-07 19:39:48] [Robert Garry] Agree! Lot's of the rest of the diagram make my head hurt as well... [2021-01-08 00:42:38] [Eddie Holmes] Gotta love Denmark: [shared file(s): IMG_2328.jpeg] [2021-01-08 04:45:25] [Robert Garry] This will be the defining event* of the trump presidency, unless he figures out something even more stupid in the next 12 days. Each of the Lego clowns should be ided, arrested, convicted and locked up for decades or longer. Big question is what happens legally to the ring leaders of the insurrection trump jr, rudie, hawley, cruz and of course trump himself. 5 people died, 14 other police officers injured, bombs were set. Denmark and the rest of the world is watching - adults in charge need to act. *though some will argue that the mishandling of COVID with the death toll in the 100Ks might edge this out. [2021-01-08 05:00:14] [Robert Garry] Not too surprising a response from Alina and the DRASTIC krewe. I too doubt Shi actually believes this nonsense and it's troubling to see her used either as a willing or unwilling tool. OTOH I would like to see Alina actually write her hypothesis [as mentioned she's good at flinging shit at PO and it's authors and getting PR]- my prediction is that the Chan Report will be a 9 on the loony scale where the Yan reports are a 10.

[2021-01-08 07:41:01] [Kristian Andersen] Pretty much a useless study IMO - I don't think anybody had concerns about Nelly when it comes to immunity. It's all the other mutations... [2021-01-08 07:57:04] [Robert Garry] Yeah - very disappointing. When I see a good response to all of the B.1.1.7 mutations and plus the B.351 [including Erik] mutations then I'll say no need for a v2.0.
