Preliminary analysis of 11 Novel Coronavirus genomes from the Wuhan outbreak
That comment on that page from Kristian G. Andersen is mildly disturbing (<a href="http://archive.is/O1vhN" rel="nofollow">http://archive.is/O1vhN</a>)... As Associate Professor, Scripps Research, Director of Infectious Disease Genomics, SRTI etc etc I assume he knows what he's talking about when he states:<p>"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."<p>I'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://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to-study-world-s-most-dangerous-pathogens-1.21487" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to...</a>
