Global – 236,000,000/4,800,000; USA – 43,900,000/707,100 102,000 case today. All parameters continue to come down slowly Mandates are working – 25% businesses, 40% hospitals and colleges serving 37% of students are using mandates The nonsense still goes on regarding EcoHealth Alliance and the Congress probing as to the gain of function issue. We now find out that Eco Health was late in the submission of a progress report which showed some increased pathogenicity in a mouse model. There will certainly be a conflation of their administrative failings with the proposal that many of the far right are pushing that the grant created the virus which as we've said multiple times is molecularly impossible. However, anything that is even a minor infraction of that grant will be conflated with the issue of the origin of the virus. In fact, Eco Health should have let the NIH know that in some of the mouse experiments there was an increase in pathogenicity associated with the chimeric virus. However what people will not appreciate is that even with that increase in pathogenicity, the experiment and the result still does not fall under the category that would trigger P3CO. In other words, According to the operable definition of gain of function of concern at the time, this was not gained a function of concern. Namely, it was not an experiment that would increase the transmissibility and pathogenicity a virus that would likely cause widespread transmission and morbidity/mortality IN HUMANS. Some people may not like that definition under which we were operating, but that is the definition that was established by outside groups after a 3 year deliberative process. As I have said in the past if they don't like the definition then they should change the definition. However, what was done was done according to the existing definition at the time.
