@gmleunghku's team at HKU published in the lancet on jan 31. We didn't need spooks to warn us about it tbh. It was all in the public domain.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

strong disagree, from my following of this in many countries. best possible save is that the relevant authority reading this didn't much distinguish over background noise
