@WashburneAlex Does he think the HSM, in the center of a major metropolis, is the likely location SARS2 first jumped into humans? If so, why did EcoHealth spend so many millions of taxpayer dollars collecting viruses (and doing human serology) in RURAL are

@EconTalker The article makes that claim that a big city is exactly where scientists expected a pandemic spillover to happen. IMO this is ex post justification pushed by the same authors who wrote the '2 spillover' papers, especially Michael Worobey. ht

@CD57227 EcoHealth explicitly said the opposite. That is why they spent so much taxpayer money going out to sample animals and people in rural areas! Now Worobey et al are trying to come up with an ex post rationale for why it happened in a city larger th
@dkupiecki EcoHealth doesn't agree. Also, it's not just a question of "urban" vs. "rural". China has more than 100 cities with over 1 million population. Did Eddie Holmes have photographs in all of those too? https://t.co/eWeiyGMkb4
@PaulNuki Not sure why we are renewing their grants to go testing the blood of people living near bat-caves if the actual threat is in a city of 10 million people https://t.co/tCzWK1ywrL

EcoHealth in 2018 explicitly arguing spillover risk is lower in cities! "Risk is likely to be lower in... well-maintained urban environments that have lower wildlife host diversity, a reduced pathogen pool, and higher public health intervention effort."

Check out our new EcoHealth journal forum piece on Deurbanization and Zoonotic Disease risk. https://t.co/lW6jeadDKH We think a lot about land use change, urbanization, and disease risk, but what happens when cities depopulate? @EcoHealthNYC @SpringerNatur
