      Happy now? One fewer Scientist to add reality and to rebut the fever dreams, misinformation & conspiracies of bored couch experts? I hope Kristian comes back. His communication skills were among the best of the actual working scientists on here.

      Lmao - don't know what's so funny about this - lol rofl Why do you think it isn't right? Where is that rule? He's not a paid employee of Twitter or an elected politician? He can delete what he wants whenever he wants. We all can. He's here to breakdown science and to learn.

      No evidence points to a lab escape, most points to a origin from the wild.

      I would say that there a many SARS-CoV-2-like Coronavirus strains in areas that are being encroached on by expanding farmlands and cities. An outbreak like this has been predicted since 2003. /2

      My fave part about the whole bat thing is that it's all based on a sample found YEARS ago in bats and the weird assertion that bats never travel more than 50km which is just...hilarious

      Also the thinking that we have screened and genetically characterised all bat species all over the world looking for viruses, let alone across China. Also that something detected in a place, started in that place.

      Wait, are you saying that of the literally hundreds of millions of bats in China we haven't captured and tested every single one? I'm shocked at this oversight

          Thank god we haven't, because we'd be dealing with a lot more pandemics given the biosafety standards of the field staff.
