Some "conspiracists" always get it right!
Conspiracist, January 2020: "#RaTG13 virus looks like BtCoV/4991 described in an old paper that you didn't cite!" 📄
Average scientist, January 2020: 😴
Shi Zhengli, July 2020: "Yes, it was the same virus."

Conspiracist, May 2020: "Look, these sequences in database are dated 2017/2018. So you didn't sequence RaTG13 this year, as you wrote in the paper!" 🔬
Average scientist, May 2020: 😴
Shi Zhengli, July 2020: "Yes, actually we got the sequence in 2018."

In this study, we have developed a fast and cost-effective method
for reverse genetics of coronaviruses by combining two approaches developed by others..As the genomes can be divided into multiple short fragments, mutations can be introduced into individual
fragments easily.
