1. Some background information on the much discussed recent research paper about the potentially deadly NeoCoV and its close relative, PDF-2180-CoV

Close relatives of MERS-CoV in bats use ACE2 as their functional receptors

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2. Some news analaysis
news.yahoo.com/neocov-coronav…
3. To start, I consider anal swabbing of bats sacrilegious behaviour only fit for heathens and bat guano should be used only for its allotted purposes ;)
4. Also a dangerous paper as it gives ideas for immoral scientists to create extremely deadly pathogens with one simple mutation, not a good idea, is it?

and now all easily done by downloading sequences via Genbank and modern lab techniques.
5. BSL Level?

I saw a lot of pseudo virus work & it says:

Q.X, L.C, C.B.M, C.L, J.Y.S, P.L, & F.T. performed the experiments

6 work at State Key Laboratory of Virology, Institute for Vaccine Research & Modern Virology Research Center, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University
6. BSL 3?

According to their now deleted website:

web.archive.org/web/2021032122…

The Wuhan University researchers use "a Biological Safety Level 3 Laboratory, Biological Safety Level 3 Animal Laboratory, and Biological Safety Level 4 Laboratory (In construction)."
7. In my research report:

researchgate.net/publication/35…

There is more information on their labs and many biosafety issues identified (sections 2, 3 and 4), but that's mainly about their ABSL3 Lab and Bat researchers who failed to use PPE on sampling expeditions.
8. BSL3?

In this paper:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/artic…

"All SARS-CoV-2 authentic virus-related experiments (S01321010A) were approved by Biosafety Committee Level 3 (ABSL-3) of Wuhan University, Wuhan Institute of Virology & Hubei Provincial CDC"
9. and here a similar statement:

nature.com/articles/s4155…

"All SARS-CoV-2 live virus-related experiments were approved by the Level 3 Biosafety Committee (ABSL-3) of Wuhan University. All experiments involving SARS-CoV-2 were performed in the BSL-3 facility"
10. and here, same:

animal-evolution.whu.edu.cn/ace2_bioRxiv2.…

"All SARS-CoV-2 live virus related experiments were approved by the Biosafety Committee Level 3 (ABSL-3) of Wuhan University.

All experiments involving SARS-CoV-2 were performed in the BSL-3 facility. SARS-CoV-2"
11. Ke Lan

I did notice that one of the authors "Dr. Ke Lan" (involved in all papers listed including the latest Neo Cov one) was an early reader of my reports on Researchgate which surprised me at the time, so he has been on my "watch list" since 2020.

He is the Director of the State Key Laboratory of Virology, Wuhan University

His orcid profile:

13. WHU ABSL3

"in fact, the Chinese NHC designated WU ABSL-3 as China’s lab for implementation of the International Convention on Prohibition of Development, Production, Storage of Biological & Viral Weapons & Destruction of Such Weapons"

researchgate.net/publication/35… (Page 6)
14. Wuhan University Research

"we analyze the extraordinary biological characteristics of bats & scientific research value"

"Diversity & evolution of bat immune genes & evolution of virus receptors in bats are directions we focus on in the near future"

15. School of Life Sciences, WHU

They are here talking about Zhao Huabin, Vice Dean, Animal Diversity and Molecular Evolution Mechanism, Laboratory Location: Room 5119

21. Lei Cao (not Wuhan)

Only one co-author of the "Neo Cov" paper, L.C (Lei Cao) was from CAS Key Laboratory of Infection & Immunity, National Laboratory of Macromolecules, Institute of Biophysics, CAS, Beijing.

22. Lei Cao (2)

Research profile:

23. "Neo-Cov" Conclusion?

Virologist, Leave them bat's asses alone!

Last thing we need is a new lab leak of a mutated pathogen with a 30% death rate, as Bill Gallaher warned about last year (MERS + SARS-COV-2 recombination)

3. This was proposed by @stuartjdneil after @PhilippMarkolin posted a flawed claim concerning filter use

However if we examine the quoted method used carefully here:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/artic…
some points can be clarified. Image
This procedure would be expected to remove eukaryotic and bacterial reads, and to highly enrich reads from viral capsids.

That is not what is observed.

70.62% of reads are identified, of which 70.61% are cellular organisms, only 0.01% are viruses.

Cambodia: Release jailed union leaders and drop all charges unconditionally 

labourstartcampaigns.net/show_campaign.… 

@labourstart

On Dec 18, 2021 workers at NagaWorld casino hotel began striking to protest management's forced mass redundancy of over 1,300 workers that left many destitute.
Police arrested Chhim Sithar for leading the massive strike against NagaWorld casino.

rfa.org/english/news/c…
The casino’s parent company, Nagacorp, is listed in Hong Kong. It is chaired and majority-owned by Malaysian billionaire Chen Lip Keong.

Before the pandemic, Nagacorp earned $102.3 million in profits in 2020 and more than $521.3 million in 2019.

1. Update on the "Yeast Hypothesis" (Revised)

Differential enrichment of yeast DNA in SARS-CoV-2 and related genomes supports synthetic origin hypothesis [Version 3)

f1000research.com/articles/10-91…
2. Amendments from Version 2

Furin cleavage site data and discussion included. Identical sequence stretch on S. cerevisiae chromosome XIII identified and suggested as potential recombination donor for the furin site insert in the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein
3. Revised version 3 includes new data regarding the origin of the unusual FCS in SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, with these new data & evidence, it suggests that this critical site is the product of a recombination event after synthetic passage in genetically manipulated S. cerevisiae cells

1. Gloating Daszak

"Drs Fauci et al @NIAIDNews call for "collaborative international effort that should include extensive viral sampling of multiple bat species in multiple locales, wild/farmed animals & humans involved in wildlife/farmed animal trades"

Universal Coronavirus Vaccines — An Urgent Need

By Morens, Taubenberger and Fauci
