I didn't like the beginning of that article either. I ran with it at that moment because it can take a while to dig up references and I really liked the DNA-level explanations in that one, which I've been following as much as I can and have grown to prefer. I feel like I've been able to cut through a lot of noise that way, and I'm learning a lot.

The virologists describing things at the that level seem to have converged on similar set of possibilities, and the need for additional data to be certain of anything. It's my understanding that they've been saying "man-made impractical if not impossible, probably natural spillover which happens all the time, lab leak is not impossible, need more data" since last spring.

It could be that non-virologists argue about this more than virologists... lol
