I vaguely fear Pfizer will be retracting that denial soon, but regardless of whether this particular goofball is the real thing, he has revealed a potential threat to humanity. Adrian you are perhaps our best local authority on viruses. How difficult would it be for someone to breed bats in something like a shipping container or barn or even a good sized basement, perform directed evolution using just one person?
