2. Except for..
Except for one of those martinis every now and then or 3 or 5 of them and a line of blow if he’s going out dancing later and some champagne and a joint an a fistful of Tylenol, Bloody Marys, Valium, and. . .what the hell, who’s got the Ecstasy?
@stuartjdneil@PhilippMarkolin I admit that of late my focus has been on lab animals, but from the very beginning, I also asked questions about the market animals, and not just on Twitter.
The main actors in this whistle-blower detour down the lab-leak rabbit hole include the group of internet activists known as DRASTIC, which published the documents
3. Whistleblower
Backing the headline were documents that DRASTIC said came from the unidentified whistle-blower. They showed that EcoHealth Alliance in 2018 applied for a federal grant to study bat coronaviruses with three other US research groups
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? taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4371080

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.
