  • Article is paywalled, so thanks for posting the actual study. This section seems in direct conflict with the article’s title:

    Given the … clear evidence that the epicenter of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was at one of only four markets in Wuhan that sold live wildlife from plausible intermediate host mammal species, either the closest-inferred ancestor or the direct ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 likely moved from an area in or around Yunnan province, to Hubei province, via the wild and farmed animal trade.

    In sum, the study doesn’t challenge that Covid-19 originated in Wuhan; but instead, explores the genetic backgrounds of the bats with the closest links to Covid-19.




  • Regarding the edit:

    The mobile link might be better than the usual link, but I’d still prefer the one-stop-shop of this current method. Comic, hover text, and comments are all viewable in one place without the additional wait of switching to a browser app and loading the page. I wish the desktop experience mimicked this.





  • Ah, thanks for clarifying. I never knew about the hover text. I just viewed the source page on my desktop browser and now I see it. However, is this text even viewable on mobile, when you don’t have a cursor to hover?

    E: Now that I’ve read the hover text on my desktop, I’ve noticed that it’s the same as the text added to the post by the bot. I really like this implementation with the image linked alone. When the post is viewed on mobile, all text is viewable and the full comic is shown legibly.


  • I actually like it better this way because the full comic can be viewed and zoomed in on in app (Voyager in my case). I’ve seen these posted with the source page as the post link and I can’t click on the image to zoom in without being pulled out of app with a wait for the web page to load. Also, when entering the post to see the comments, the thumbnail is so small when the source page is linked, making the comic unreadable. With an image alone, the full comic is viewable beside the comments. Is it different for you?
