- gojomo 3y agoYes, but the coincidence of 3 gain-of-function researchers being the very 1st simultaneous infectees would be far more remarkable than a crowded place being the 1st spot that's noticed as a cluster. No matter the origin of a new highly-nfectious respiratory disease, certain dense public places will quickly turn up as locations-of-spread. But 3 researchers with likely larger-than-average scrupulosity about infection risks, working on increasing the virulence of bat viruses? Pretty sus!
