Hatching the plan

(work in progress)

The Jan 2020 Meetings would set the One Science lie in motion. So what were the contents?

Firstly it wasn't a single meeting, it was a 3-day retreat

Key points:

Day 1: Fact Finding report presentations - what happened - assuming a WIV GoF event, but WIV was working with US/Singapore/German/French labs, so it's not impossible a foreign scientist carried it in.  Danielle Anderson was the last foreigner at WIV, right at the time it's estimated to have originated - did she carry it in as an asymptomatic/mild carrier - probably not.  Which leaves military games, or WIV - with heavy foreigner involvement on the GoF side - hence the buy-in

Day 2: Narrative consolidation - same as SARS - wuhan market - let the experts decide

Day 3: Organization, mobilization of plan, Prox-O/Nature, Lancet Statement co-ordination, Feb 1 Teleconf, Tedros
