They still don't have anything. Streetlight effect at its finest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect However, we do not have access to the precise latitude and longitude coordinates of all these cases. Should such data exist, they may be accompanied by additional metadata, some of which we have reconstructed, but some of which, including the date of onset of each case, would be valuable for ongoing studies. We also lack direct evidence of an intermediate animal infected with a SARS-CoV-2 progenitor virus either at the Huanan market or at a location connected to its supply chain, like a farm.

Don't worry adolph we still need to pretend that this is the leading cause of death in the world and that economic recession will not responsible for 10-100x this based on historical evidence. Frankly turning this on it's head, Russia should be applauded for pushing so many people toward green, renewable and truely economically viable energy sources, I nominate putin for the nobel peace prize based on his efforts here.

  > I nominate putin for the nobel peace prize based on his efforts here. You're implying intent on his part. If any single person in the world would want renewables to never exist, it would be him. I also am aghast that you would feel this way about a man destroying hundreds of thousands of lives. The man is evil.

    > You're implying intent on his part. If this was required for most discoveries we'd have to recall a serious number of nobels... Also if he's shutting down hundreds of throusands of biological co2 and methane factories isn't that further supporting the case?
