Thanks, that twitter thread actually makes sense, unlike the telegraph article. The conclusion seems to be that we need a timestamp on when these samples were sequenced. If in Jan 2020 it is fine, if its in 2019 it catches the Chinese Gov in a lie. The sequences themselves are not unusual for early COVID and have been seen before, but the context of human cell lines suggests they were being cultured. So, no conclusive evidence of lab leak without a known timestamp we don‘t have. The telegraph is editorialising for clicks.
