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

And this is how it would unfold, next, in some parts of the world... (Sorry, sorry, gallows humor. Middle Eastern thing).https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1407535307755511808 …

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 …

And, of course, scientists can be threatened. There are few people in any profession who are willing to put their lives or their family's on the line.

Reminds me of the HBO series on Chernobyl.

That was a collapsing regime, the tail end of it, so on the self-destructively stupid side. I don't think that's what we have here. Though one almost, one actual pandemic both with very costly initial coverup/delay within two decades isn't peak performance either.

Authoritarian regimes do not tolerate mass dissent. Remember the Wuhan incinerator mass protest July 2019 ? WIV database taken offline 9/12/2019. Notice how there have been no protests there now (at least what we can see). Cynic in me thinks it is related.
