Another way to get at a similar disconcerting place:
Where is the animal population that harbored the virus?
- lamontcg 5y agoSame problem with SARS-CoV-1. The Bat SL-CoV-WIV1 virus that is closest related to that is also from Horseshoe bats in Yunnan. The SARS-CoV-1 outbreak in humans was >700 miles away in Guangdong. The virus may or may not have used an intermediate animal like civets to jump to humans. We've seen this happen before and we know there was no lab leak involved.
- ddingus 5y agoThe lack of cooperation complicates all of this, which was my primary point.
- AstralStorm 5y agoThe problem is, there is nothing to cooperate in. Any source or fact given by Chinese government or scientists will not be trusted.
- ddingus 5y agoIt is necessary for global involvement. Direct research, investigations, data collection, the works. Being open enough to understand what is actual is the cooperation.
