Press Meeting WHO Delegation in Wuhan (none / 0)

The most interesting clue was what @MarionKoopmans explained:
That some animals known (rabbits) or suspected (ferret-badgers, bamboo rats) to be susceptible to #SARSCov2 were at Huanan market and came from farms/traders in regions where bats are known to harbor related viruses.

Joint WHO and #China Mission to Wuhan (none / 0)

Thanks @kakape for the opportunity to clarify our findings. One of the misunderstanding has been about the nature of our work in the past month. It was a joint @WHO - #China mission to review the July agreed phase 1 studies and plan a series of new studies. Work in progress. [_link]
