Bat researchers venturing into bat caves and mineshafts in Yunnan without wearing proper protective gear to trap bats and take anal and throat swabs, like Tian Junhua from WCDC and Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers

2/10 Right image appears to show subject of profile with team members in field lab (With inadequate PPE & inappropriate operational procedures--PPE & procedures that would pose high risk of accidental infection with a virus having the transmission characteristics of SARS-Cov-2)
3/10 'Insect man' Scientist Tian Junhua of Wuhan Centre for Disease Control "forgot to take protective measures. Bat urine dripped from the top of his head like raindrops on his body.Several times, bat blood was sprayed directly on Tian Junhua's skin" http://xinhuanet.com//local/2017-05/03/c_1120909064_2.htm

"As I said team had no inkling that bats were a natural host of coronavirus in 2004 when left pic @BillyBostickson flagged was taken. They didn't know that bat-borne coronavirus could directly infect humans until 2010s"
Big Mistake?

5/10 In @janeqiuchina article on Zhengli Shi, known as China's âbat womanâ for her virus-hunting expeditions in bat caves, Shi releases fruit bat after taking blood & swab samples from it without wearing protective gear

6/10 As we now know, @peterdaszak & Zhengli Shi's WIV team found RaTg13:
âAt the time, we were looking for Sars related viruses, & this one was 20% different,â says Daszak. âWe thought itâs interesting, but not high-risk. So we didnât do anything about it & put it in the freezerâ

"Group found 500 bat-borne viruses in China over 16 years, but only flagged those that most resembled Sars to authorities, lack of funding meant they couldnât further investigate virus strain now known to be 96% genetically similar to SARSCOV2" https://www.wired.co.uk/article/coronavirus-bats-snakes-pangolins

8/10 Strangely enough, and making it difficult for researchers to check these 500 + viral sequences of interest, Zhengli Shi's virus database has been deleted.

Her WIV database is described as having 61.5 Mb of delicious SQL data here:

All we get is an empty 1 Kb zip file!

Did you notice it was changed from previous version on Dec 30th 2019 by author?
Changes in WIV Bat viral pathogen Database prove that Shanghai - Wuhan night train database alteration by Zhengli Shi on December 30th is a fact:

12/x Some more pix:
Best to do your own research & draw your own conclusions, although it seems strange that the first thing the head of WIV Lab does, on being told to return to Wuhan urgently, is change & delete key info in her viral database & later delete the whole database?

I just find it incredibly bizarre behaviour, how about you?
By the way, some other Chinese viral databases have suddenly "gone off line" lately apart from WIV's one: http://batvirus.whiov.ac.cn
for example, we cannot access: http://viruses.nsdc.cn/chinavpi/vri.jsp
Only 1 left now is DBatVir!

14/x To conclude, temporarily, & I'm sure you breathe a sigh of relief ;)
Do you know anyone who has a copy of the now deleted 61.5 MB SQL "Bat & Rodent" viral pathogen sequence database. (I believe 1200 people downloaded it before deletion). Essential if we value transparency!
