The SARS-CoV sequences are highly similar to artificially constructed SARSr-CoV strains from Craig Venter Institute
Divergence between SARS-CoV strains from different flu seasons can't be explained by natural evolution
Raises concerns about lab biosafety
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
One possible explanation of the co-existence of SARS and H1N1 sequences in the patients is that the artificially constructed recombinant SARSr-CoV caused a co-infection outside the laboratory during 2007 - 2012, but did not result in the SARS-CoV epidemic
Alternative hypothesis is contamination of samples in the lab since Pasteur Institute also conducted SARS-CoV studies.
Samples from different flu seasons have different strains of SARS-CoV & divergence between these SARS-CoV strains cannot be explained by natural evolution.
This intriguing finding warrants further efforts to "sleuth out" the culprit
In 2014, Pasteur Institute France lost vials containing patient samples collected during SARS (sciencemag.org/news/2014/05/f…). It raises serious concerns about laby biosafety in both institutions

BSL-3 lab leak in Taipei
She was exposed to the virus in mid November
No symptoms until late in month, meanwhile went all over Taipei before finally getting tested.
Could it have started like this at a Wuhan lab?

"Preliminary study concluded that the work site was contaminated & infected"

"Because the case has no recent history of going abroad, it is preliminary speculated that he may have been infected in the laboratory"

85 people quarantined?

She...(a little bit of confusion there as usual)

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 In fact the rising number of critiques of your paper and that of Holmes et al in Cell, is evidence of serious problems in both logic and substance.

Keeping up to date with Greek

Variants of concern:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron

Variants of interest:

Lambda, Mu

Former variants of interest:

Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa

Skipped letters: Nu & Xi

Next:

Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega
Will Nu and Xi be the only ones skipped?

“WHO best practices for naming diseases suggest avoiding ‘causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,”

A variant of concern is not a disease...
May some more be cancelled?
