1. Finally a Scientist who deserves respect, Microbiologist @DavidRelman (Who knows WIV very well btw) explores how the coronavirus could have emerged and why we need to know.

2. Opinion: To stop the next pandemic, we need to unravel the origins of COVID-19

3.The "origin analysis" by @DavidRelman disturbed Daszak's complacency
as Dr. Relman is a member of ICSB, a scientific board that reports to ODNI.
The other members were annoyed when Relman published his opinion piece.

4. Relman lectured WIV back in 2017
"Chinese and American scientists discussed policies in response to emerging infectious diseases"

Were they too busy playing with live bats to pay attention to the biosafety issues?

5. "Promote lab and global health biosecurity"
"ta shuo shenme?"

6. So cute
7. Three Cheers for @DavidRelman for joining us in the call for an independent forensic investigation of Wuhan BSL Labs

8. and for demanding release of the WIV databases
" all forms of data — especially all genetic-sequence data — and all viruses, both natural and recombinant. One might expect to find archived sequence databases and laboratory records."

9. Relman's Crystal Ball
"SARS-CoV-2 might have been lurking in a sample collected from a bat or other infected animal, brought to a lab, stored in a freezer, then propagated in the lab as part of an effort to resurrect & study bat-associated viruses."

10. "SARS-CoV-2 could have spent some time in a lab before encountering humans. Some of the largest collections of bat coronaviruses in the world and a research program involving the creation of “chimeric” bat coronaviruses are located in downtown Wuhan"

11. Flashback to 2014 (41:00) via @gumby4christ
David Relman asks Ralph Baric if he would be fine with an experiment enhancing the human transmissibility of a virus & he rambles on about the infeasibility of doing so with ferrets.
