The spin goes on. It hard to believe that the long article below on the Winnipeg lab doesn't tackle or even mention the 750 bp of exact match with SARS CoV. It suggests that the Winnipeg lab has not found the OC43 sequences because it indicates those sequences were found by the BC lab. It also suggests there was some concern about the wording in Friday's press release. If the exact match with SARS CoV is an artifact then there would be no need to call anything SARS-like. OC43 is clearly a cold coronavirus. When I finished reading the article I had the strange feeling that it was somewhat akin read a state controlled mainland China article, circa December 2002 dispelling rumors about a mystery virus, although then it was a mystery and now over 50 SARS CoV isolates have been sequenced, but in Surrey, BC, the mystery remains. Investigative reporters take note. There is a real story here and it was not covered in the story below. >===== Original Message From "Henry L Niman, PhD" <henry_niman@hms.harvard.edu> ===== globeandmail.com SARS-like virus puts lab on edge Life almost normal again at Winnipeg research facility, but vigilance remains
