As Associate Professor, Scripps Research, Director of Infectious Disease Genomics, SRTI etc etc I assume he knows what he&#x27;s talking about when he states:<p>&quot;That means that the outbreak was detected almost immediately after the first case, which - given that this is flu season in China - is just amazing. Detecting an outbreak of pneumonia (similar to flu) of a novel coronavirus that fast is truly impressive.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not sure I really want to wear this tin-foil hat, but it would certainly be easier to identify a novel coronavirus if it came directly from your own BSL-4 lab in Wuhan <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to-study-world-s-most-dangerous-pathogens-1.21487" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to...</a>
