what is going on? first it’s bats, then it’s snakes, then it’s snakes that ate bats. It’s from the market, it’s not the market, so how did the 96% bat and whoknowswhat% snake dna get combined? Now look at these two competing stories today:

“Their data also show that, in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace. “That’s a big number, 13, with no link,” says Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University.

“Thirty-one of the 33 positive samples were collected from the western zone of the market, where booths of wildlife trading concentrated,” the CDC said, reported state-owned Xinhua news agency.

If the first contagions were now believed to be in late Oct/early Nov, the market shut in mid-Dec, then at Jan 27 we’re out of the incubation/contageous period for the original transfers up to mid-Dec. So are we now just cleaning up those that had contact with the originals from mid-Dec to lastof-Jan - yes? no?

and here’s a beam of good news: Tests by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention for a new strain of coronavirus were negative for the patient hospitalized in Colorado

“Now It seems clear that [the] seafood market is not the only origin of the virus,” he wrote. “But to be honest, we still do not know where the virus came from now.” Lucey notes that the discovery of the coronavirus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome, a sometimes fatal disease that occurs sporadically, came from a patient in Saudi Arabia in June 2012, although to an earlier hospital outbreak of unexplained pneumonia in Jordan in April 2012. Stored samples from two people who died in Jordan confirmed they had been infected with the virus. Retrospective analyses of blood samples in China from people and animals—including vendors from other animal markets—may reveal a clear picture of where the 2019-nCoV originated, he suggests. “There might be a clear signal among the noise,” he says.

In March 2019, in mysterious event a shipment of exceptionally virulent viruses from Canada’s NML ended up in China. The event caused a major scandal with Bio-warfare experts questioning why Canada was sending lethal viruses to China. #CoronaVirusCanada

Update on newest bio-threat out of China via VladTepesblog:

Also it might be a good time to point out the bio-research facility in Varennes Quebec that according to its staff photo, was ALL religious muslims except for a couple of people, and one or two of which is in jail for planning to attack trains and other targets in Canada and the US in various ways.
Speaking of which, keep a close eye on the train derailment story out of Toronto yesterday as well. There are sources that suggest this was not an accident.

UPDATE:
There is some discussion about this photo. A version has been sent in that is not cropped, and shows this as taken under a doorway where it is written:
Institut National de la recherche scientifique
The difficulty is that the photo immediately below may not be an accurate representation of the staff. But it was pulled from the company website at the time the initial arrest was made, and the company sent in an email demanding it be pulled as they owned the CR on the photo. Which at least suggests that it was indeed the company webpage header as we saw it at the time. I have the whole page backed up on a separate drive in case it matters
