"Viral isolates will remain at the Wuhan Institute of Virology initially. Isolates, reagents and any other
products, will be made available to other NIH-funded researchers via applicable WIV and EHA Material Transfer Agreements and/or icensing agreements"
3. Cells (Page 203)
• Records are maintained for each of the cell lines regarding 1. the origin of the cell lines 2. when they were resuscitated 3. number of passages 4. all test results 5. any unique distinguishing growth behavior 6. any known genetic features.
4. Cell lInes (Page 203)
When receiving cell lines, lab members initially keep them isolated from other authenticated cell lines until mycoplasma testing & STR marker profiling is performed
All cell lines must be authenticated before commencing experimental work with them
5. Page 528
Recombinant and Wildtype Viruses and Mutant Derivatives.
All viruses will be validated and certified pure of contaminating viruses prior to use or shipment to other laboratories
6. Audit Trail (Page 527)
"UNC & WIV will implement an "audit trail" that tracks animals used in experimental investigations (Aim 3) from parents, through birth, shipment, experimentation, results, QC & analyses, providing outside researchers the ability to track experiments.."
7. Specific Aim 3 is on Page 512 and 272
Humanized mice for experimental infection for Specific Aim 3 (Page 512)

8. RPPR reporting requirements
Research conducted at the following site(s) must be reported in your RPPR:

9. Also:
San Pya Clinic, BURMA
Primate Research Center at Bogor Agricultural University, INDONESIA
Conservation Medicine, Ltd, MALAYSIA
"we would like to request prior approval for collecting non-human animal samples in 7 countries:
Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR , Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam" (Page 100)
1. Based on the Parsi calendar conversion and the text of the Persian Mar-Nāmeh (THE BOOK FOR TAKING OMENS FROM SNAKES), seeing a snake today means you should not look at it, otherwise you will soon have a cause to be sorry.
2. Rule 7 cruelly says:
"If you see a snake on the day of Merdad (Amerdid) do not look at it, (or otherwise) you will soon have a cause to be sorry"
According to the Parsees, today is Roj Amardad (also spelled Merdad or Amerdāt).
3. If you see it, how can you not look at it?
The Book for Taking Omens from Snakes (30 Nov 1892)
By President-Surgeon-Major G. Waters.
"The custom of taking omens from snakes seems to be
very ancient. The people of antiquity associated with the snake various peculiar ideas"
Across the centuries & the tracks,
Where bone & muscle give their all,
To answer to the master's call.
And in the pocket, pouch, or hand,
A secret comfort rules the land.
A cheap escape from sweat & pain,
To dull the mind or spike the brain.
And laborers crowd through palace doors,
To drown the shift in burning gin.
While in the slums, for just a penny,
The laudanum drops are shared by many,
To soothe the cough, the cramp, the tear,
And quiet the children crying there.
3. Across the sea, the jungle steams
Where coolies chased their broken dreams.
The shovel bites, the fever burns,
Until the evening sun returns.
Then in the bunkhouse, dark & small,
Sweet smoke rises on the wall;
The opium pipe is lit & blessed,
A pain-free haze, a perfect rest!

That made a vast difference, helping us coordinate our work through chat groups and share our work and keep the public and journalists and U.S. government organizations and commissions informed of the latest updates.
Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.
2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.
Here is my attempt at a simple summary of what @JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen claim (July 2026)
1. In early 2020, Chinese scientists published the first big paper on the COVID virus using fluid samples taken from patients’ lungs in Wuhan in December 2019.
