Scientists analyse DNA clues to determine origin of Covid-19 • FRANCE 24 English

A recent report points to raccoon dogs as possible transmitters at the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic. DNA samples collected at the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market in China show that several raccoon dogs were present in areas where the SARS-CoV-2 virus was found. FRANCE 24's Science Editor Shirli Sitbon looks at what the data may have revealed and why it has disappeared from data-sharing site GISAID.

I wonder if she is being this animated and childlike in her reporting to identify this as a tale, a children's story. Then pages were missing....and it was the racoon!

Oh so data was lost and then mysteriously re appears . Just as the lab leek theory is being investigated. I don't know much about racoon dogs, the smell of a rat though.
