Chinese mink farms? [shared file(s): Origin of Covid-19_ the trail of Chinese minks is strengthening.pdf] [2021-04-24 14:57:34] [Eddie Holmes] Certainly a possibility. I'll ask Weifeng if he knows anything. He's based in Shangdong. [2021-04-25 05:25:12] [Robert Garry] More on the top secret (albeit published in peer-reviewed journals) at WIV conducted with the CCP military. https:// www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9507749/How-scientists-Wuhan-lab-helped-Chinese-army-secret-project-animal-v iruses.html [2021-04-25 05:31:02] [Robert Garry] Jamie says that it's important that he sells more books - the books must be sold:https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210422-who-seeks-next-steps-in-covid-origins-probe [2021-04-25 05:37:04] [Robert Garry] https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-braun-introduce-bill-requiring-biden-declassify-wuhan-lab-leak-intelligence Somehow it's seems for diff reasons I'm agreeing with this pile of shit.

I've seen David Morens - Tony Fauci's right hand man - in uniform plenty of times. [2021-04-25 16:07:02] [Robert Garry] sure - shut down Porten Down, usamriid etc. too dangerous. i'm sure the russians, koreans, iranians and yes even china will reciprocate. [2021-04-26 00:32:57] [Eddie Holmes] What's the feeling about B.1.617: is it genuinely increasing transmissibility or is it just riding the wave of the massive number of cases in India? [2021-04-26 00:37:47] [Andrew Rambaut] B.1.617 is split into B.1.617.1 (with E484Q) and B.1.617.2 (without) and both seem to be coming up along with a lot of other stuff. But there are no sequences since the start of April and the sequencing is quite geographically hetrogenous. My guess is that most of it is B.1.1.7. [2021-04-26 00:38:48] [Andrew Rambaut] It seems there are a lot of sequences that are not being put on GISAID: https://science.thewire.in/health/variant-first-identified-in-uk-is-behind-delhis-covid-19-surge-ncdc-chief/ [2021-04-26 00:41:51] [Eddie Holmes] That's really interesting. [2021-04-26 01:40:15] [Andrew Rambaut] Weirdly B.1.617.2 is coming up a lot in recent travel related international cases (with connection to India) but very little in Indian GISAID genomes so likely somewhere missing from surveillance.
