      The headline is very carefully phrased, but it's clear from the text of the story that these people "sought hospital care" but were not necessarily admitted to hospital - two quite different things

          I recall in Dec that there was an additional hospital being built in Wuhan. So 3 researchers being ill... not terribly surprising

          Clearly it isn’t if you decided for personal or political reasons it didn’t come from a lab already 🤷‍♂️

          Andrew Starr Retweeted James Palmer

          Along with the @pwnallthethings thread, these tweets by someone with a touch more China expertise than the Murdoch journos was also helpfulhttps://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1396553798420676608?s=19 …

          Andrew Starr added,

          James Palmer @BeijingPalmer
          it is important here whether 'hospital care' means 'treated overnight in hospital' or 'visited a hospital to see a doctor.' *almost all* primary care in China goes through hospital doctors, and you need to see them to get literal sick notes to justify time off, for one thing https://twitter.com/Anthony/status/1396544753194373121 …
