I totally don't understand the logic of how Gain of function is a dangerous experiment, when done in a well contained lab lead by responsible scientists. Even if we consider that this strain is dangerous (Apparently not) , people are questioning the authenticity of Bio-safety procedures. Labs have worked on Ebola recently and not a single outbreak has been reported which originated from lab. People are just obsessed with the wrong understanding of GOF (Gain of function) research. Go listen to all TWiV episodes 1. http://varuncnmicro.blogspot.in/2014/07/ferrets-are-not-humans.html 2. http://www.twiv.tv/

The synthetic virus sequence they published has around 79% homology with the Wuhan SARS 2019 coronavirus. With animals this would be a familial relationship. Something akin to a cousin.

NC_045512_2 vs. FJ211859_1: 79.26% identity

I'll try to follow up on this. This is higher than the homology I've seen between other coronaviruses and the Wuhan 2019 virus.

well,yeah its a bioweapon duh

Interesting

Sound familiar?
