    "...Wuhan CDC is located about 600 meters — less than half a mile..."

    "The Wuhan Institute of Virology, meanwhile, actively researches infectious diseases — including coronaviruses — and did before the pandemic started. But that facility is more than 14 kilometers, or 8 1/2 miles..."

    I think the difference between 280 meters and 600 meters is because they aren't measuring in straight lines, but travel distances. This is also why instead of 12 clicks they come up with 14 for the WIV.

    3 miles and 10 miles aren't correct even if you cite this source. It's not particularly germaine, but the discrepancy caught my eye, and insofar as that is the result, folks may question other statements of fact you make.

    I have heard from some already. I do not intend to disparage you in my comment here, but offer what I hope you accept as constructive criticism.

    Do me the favor of ruthlessly correcting me when I am wrong, and I'll be glad of it.
