Call me when something real comes in. In the meantime, I’ll stick with science that has told us the lineage from bat to a possible pangolin. The truth isn’t always sexy, especially in this case.

The Daily Mail is like the UK's version of the National Enquirer. Not the best source

“Confirmed”
Actual article: “believes”, “claims”, “thinks”.

Here is a more credible source, since picked up elsewhere, including Washington Post and Journal of Atomic Science (sorry, if I am butchering name):

So bats and pangolins are still the leading candidates? Is there any possibility of regulating what can be sold at wet markets?

That is a very interesting, intelligent and pragmatic analysis.

No chance. China doesn't have that kind of control over its citizens.

Sarcasm? China can do whatever it wants to it's citizens if it decides too. Hell, they could probably just start a propaganda and shaming campaign to get rid of 99% of it, without lifting a finger on enforcement.

One benefit of this lockdown is that I have gotten to know the Weinstein brothers. I have come to realize is that my favourite podcasters/philosophers are from the "normal" left.

Can’t believe nobody took the opportunity to note that the ‘more credible source’ is a Russian
Good old trustworthy Russia, they have never misinformed anyone!
Having said that, it seems interesting. Thing is, the link is for a 2 h podcast. So I have started but had to step away, will get back to it sometime

He is not a "source" - he is a scientist who analyzed the virus and the historical work done at that lab. They were not saying that this is conclusive proof. But, if you follow the analysis (and my biology studies ended with Biology 10) of the virus structure itself and consider what nature would normally produce, it seems that the likeliest source is the 2012 outbreak in a mine (with bats) in south China that infected 6 miners (killing 2); the Wuhan lab secured that virus in 2013 and has been "playing" around with it since, seeing how it might infect humans, and that the covid strain is possibly one of those "human-infecting" lab variants of that 2012 virus. Now, this is not malicious in any way - just regular bio research and unfortunate security breach. The lab has covered up all references to the 2012 virus and subsequent research, though rather ham-handedly. The conclusion of Weinstein (who is an evolutionary biologist, and happens to specialize in bats) and the Russian was that that on a balance of probabilities, the lab escape was a much likelier source than natural evolution. Again, I have almost zero knowledge of biology, but these guys did a really good job of explaining the information.

Fair enough - I guess I should not have used "source" to imply it was some sort of inside information - I was referring to the combination of Brett Weinstein and the Russian dude as a good "analysis" - should have used that word.

Will be interesting how it fairs as it goes through peer review
I wonder at what population infection rate is it detectable in water.

There was that "100 day cough" that was going all around here in the fall/winter. I don't think that has anything to do with COVID
