1. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Evidence of 1 project being potential origin of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak.
Project involved novel bat viral pathogen research & Wuhan Central Hospital.
Did Wuhan CDC work with Wuhan Institute of Virology on project? http://archive.is/uHqSw 
2. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
In July 2019, China Ministry of Sci & Tech invited bids for new project:
"Scientific survey of principal natural viral pathogen resources in China" partly financed from ¥300m fund, details tks to @interne41914499 here: http://archive.is/HA9ql 
3. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Winners of the project were required to identify 5 major novel viral pathogens from wild animals including bats & carry out a biosecurity risk assessment by testing them on small animals. The goals can be seen in the image:
4. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Project application deadline was mid-September 2019
Its assessment indicators are detailed by "Anon" here:
http://archive.is/uHqSw#selection-125.0-145.80
Get genomes of 100+ novel viruses/strains
Collect and preserve 50 major viral pathogens
5. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Analyse pathogenic characteristics (at cellular & small animal level) Insect Cells? Ferrets?
of 10 major novel viruses, including at least:
5 major novel viral pathogens
Create standardised viral pathogen resource library and shared database.
6. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Professor Zhang Yongzhen said he was cooperating long-term with both Wuhan Center for Disease Control & Wuhan Central Hospital on "Scientific survey of the principal natural viral pathogen resources in China" project.

7. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Our Australian "natural origin" virologist, Eddie Holmes, was involved with this project.
One of Professor Zhang's team later said that:
"this had been going on for many years"
(not the sexual abuse, but the project ;)

8. Update on WIV "Deleted Database"
Time for a coffee and a smoke, be back soon!
9. Let's recap so far:
September 2019 State funded project involving
WCDC, WIV, Wuhan Central Hospital
Get genomes of 100+ novel viruses
Collect 50 major viral pathogens
Analyse pathogenicity (in cells & small animals) of 10 major novel viruses & 5 major novel viral pathogens
10. WIV "Deleted Database"
Remember one of the stated aims of 2019 State project was to:
"Create standardised viral pathogen resource library & shared database"
Did WCDC work with WIV on project & did they share data on novel pathogens via Zhengli Shi's own database?
Answer: YES!
11. WIV "Deleted Database"
WIV had done extensive research into viral pathogen vectors & was already running a database
(published in June 2019)
very similar to that demanded by the 2019 State project, containing data on arthropod, bat & rodent viruses

12. WIV "Deleted Database"
What do we know?
1. Zhengli Shi's WIV database had password protected section for unpublished novel virus sequences.
2. Shi changed keywords & description when she updated it from Vers.2 to Vers.4 on 30/12/2019
3. Database taken off line for "updating"
13. WIV "Deleted Database"
We also know it was built as part of a long term effort to investigate the link between bat viruses & insect vectors for example. From 2013-2017, WIV worked on Ministry of Sci & Tech programme investigating main natural virus hosts & vectors in China.
14. WIV "Deleted Database"
The paper describing this WIV database project
(shown in image in Tweet 13) is here:

Note that the resulting database generated from the project has also been deleted (or unavailable to barbarian eyes)

15. WIV "Deleted Database"

Time for a cigarette break and some food! BRB
16. Damn!
I got sidetracked by Bovine Coronavirus experiments and inserted furin cleavage sites as usual
But I do believe eventually it will all come together in a blinding apotheosis

17. WIV "Deleted Database"
To which we now must add the 2019 State Project virus database (WCDC) which as pointed out previously is also "offline" or being "updated":
http://www.viruses.nsdc.cn/chinavpi 
We are left with:
http://www.mgc.ac.cn/DBatVir/  (Bats)
and
http://www.mgc.ac.cn/DRodVir/  (Rodents)
18.WIV & WCDC "Deleted Databases"
However, the web archive version of the "NSDC" database contains many interesting research links to related published papers, news reports, etc, which need to be explored in depth before continuing with this thread. Adios
