One of the biggest misunderstanding about enduring authoritarian regimes is that the people in charge are uniformly stupid and crude, no smart/educated person advising them/is one of them. Obviously, this wouldn't work for long. But also: their regular people are regular people!

Deletion aside:
@Jbloom_lab paper strongly suggests the Huanan seafood market wasn't the origin location. Brings me to something I wrote this week: the recent WHO report excluded cases earlier than seafood market outbreak in a way I can't make sense of. https://www.theinsight.org/p/bring-back-the-weekly-newspaper …pic.twitter.com/rQx4nAndKs

Jan 2020 Lancet paper by Chinese scientists has three cases *earlier* than the market outbreak, says all confirmed by RT-PCR. A year later, WHO excludes three early December cases based clinical findings like "responded to antibiotics." What about those PCR confirmations?pic.twitter.com/SX436JPCNd

Also, interesting week to have written this in my newsletter. The seafood market as an amplifying event (first big outbreak) with virus circulation earlier in Wuhan has always been possible from what data we did have (even with the Lancet/WHO confusion). https://www.theinsight.org/p/bring-back-the-weekly-newspaper …pic.twitter.com/XKQjlIKgVQ

Addendum to the deleted sequences. And see up thread on why the "it's all just crude, knee-jerk censorship" assertions aren't very smart. Some steps may be so, but clearly other targeted, deliberate steps are taken, too. Analysis of specifics>generalities.https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1407542297659514886 …
