Work on tiger safari inside Corbett reserve has destroyed more trees and land than the project proposal specified, based on documents that local officials couldn’t produce or had manipulated.

Transmission is key to a pathogen’s adaptation.
Lab-escape theories cannot clearly account for the adaptation of the virus to its new host, or, in other words, for the evolution of human-to-human transmissibility. | @WendyOrent https://t.co/WE9DFmokB2
