Sorry, where are the unsampled bats within 1000km of Wuhan? This stuff has been sampled extensively. Or are you merely stating it's possible there's a bat cav

  > This stuff has been sampled extensively. I don't think that's correct, for the simple reason that if those papers existed the (sigh) pro-leak folks would be linking them everywhere. Virology isn't exactly a trillion dollar field, we're not going out and sequencing every virus in every species. The Yunnan cave made news and was well-studied because someone stumbled on a SARS-related virus there, that says nothing about where that virus went later.

    > if those papers existed Those papers don't exist for the simple reason that "interesting" bats don't live there. You might want to consider that while R H Ebright can be offensive and distateful, he has been banging this drum for 20 years and is generally very careful when he makes a factual statement.
