"The Last And Only Foreign Scientist in the Wuhan Lab Speaks Out" [1]

But she was working in the BSL-4 lab, and if I understand correctly WIV and SHC014 (coronaviruses) were studied in BSL-2 and BSL3 labs, when a close to BSL-4 lab was needed.


There is no mention of BSL-4 in the article, which really jumped out at me.

And their earlier research was done in BSL-2!


She was at the BSL4 lab. This is different than the BSL2 lab that was speculated to have leaked covid.


Aren't they included in each other like a matrioshka doll?


Doubt it. I'm curious where the BSL-2 actually was.


The new laboratory building has 3000 m2 of BSL-4 space, and also 20 BSL-2 and two BSL-3 laboratories.

But of course the WIV has a few other research centers there.


Does anyone have a link that doesn't explode my phone on opening?
