And this month, Chinese government scientists said it was time to start investigating outside China for the virus’s origins. As a Covid-19 virus, if I knew how to read, I would be very offended. I was born and..not born exactly. But I am as proud of being Chinese as any being without a limbic system can be.

  Since the closest match thus far in the wild in bat populations was found in Laos ... that seems like a reasonable position. One problem with the exotic animal trade, is the more exotic can make their way from afar, (locations outside of China) and if indeed the actual case of how the original covid first arrived at Wuhan, presently, well not publicly, no one really knows what exotics were actually traded at the market and their shipping details and what they might have been caged beside on the long journey to the market.

      It is only questionable or matters if the person has been a purveyor of bad science, including being a puppet ... or committing career suicide for $$$$$ like the few who did so over covid claims. However I don't think she was involved with the study, but I've not found the article mentioning in the order around 2% different - but could have been a rounding problem for the article I ran across a while back. 2021 article - closest thus far found in Indochinese peninsula https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-871965/v1 https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-871965/v1
