[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Fwd: First Known Covid Case Was Vendor at Wuhan Market, Scientist Claims - The New York Times

[Harry Forsdick]

Bob and Carl,

I applaud your desire to move on and not have us engage in the much easier
(and less productive) blame game.

You ask a lot of important questions, and I must admit that I have no idea
how to get those questions elevated above the blame game questions -- i.e.,
the ones that get publically asked by politicians, TV News Shows not on
PBS, and weak thinkers like me when I'm tired.  We all need to focus on the
difficult questions, not the ones that are easy to answer.

Keep up the good work in getting us to focus on the right questions so that
next time we will get to the needed reaction quicker.

-- Harry
