How China’s ‘Bat Woman’ Hunted Down Viruses from SARS to the New Coronavirus

 Back in Wuhan, where the lockdown was finally lifted on April 8, China’s bat woman is not in a celebratory mood. She is distressed because stories from the Internet and major media have repeated a tenuous suggestion that SARS-CoV-2 accidentally leaked from her lab—despite the fact that its genetic sequence does not match any her lab had previously studied. Other scientists are quick to dismiss the allegation. “Shi leads a world-class lab of the highest standards,” Daszak says.

    Yes, yes, China denies and denies. Of course, the Germans denied and denied what they were doing in eastern Europe during the war too.
    At what point does the filter come up: Anything China claims is a lie until proven otherwise by outside investigation?
