PeterSaarJudge EricJudge WillScottDanielCorrelation weighting. number n means that n previous lines of Replace all question marks in YOU column with numbers - the odds ratio under lab leak. If a piece of evidence is more likely under lab leak, enter a number greater than 1. If it's more likely under zoonosis, enter a number less than 1 (but still higher than 0)

evidence are correlated with this one.
For example, if you think it's twice as likely that a lab leak pandemic would have an insert at the furin cleavage site, compared to a zoonotic pandemic, enter 2 for the "furin cleavage site" question.
3
PriorsIf you think a piece of evidence doesn't matter (ie it's exactly as likely in a zoonotic and lab leak pandemic), enter 1.

Years per natural pandemic?302020201606620201----- A natural coronavirus pandemic happens once per how many years?
5
Odds of Wuhan?0.0150.050.030.0150.0250.010.0150.021----- Odds that a random natural coronavirus pandemic starts in Wuhan

Lab leak at WIV?0.020.050.020.150.020.050.030.011----- Odds that, given that WIV is researching COVID, it leaks
8
Lab leak starts a pandemic?0.50.30.330.410.50.40.51----- Odds that, given COVID leaked, it starts a pandemic instead of fizzling out

Location in wet market
12
First known cases in wet market?0.0050.80.000250.50.00050.0010.0020.0031----- The first officially confirmed cases were in the Huanan Seafood Market, and not somewhere else
13
Highest case density near wildlife stalls?0.80.90.031110.50.0662----- Surveys found the highest density of positive COVID samples near the wildlife stalls in the market
14
No intermediate host?21.41411411----- Nobody was able to find a potential intermediate host (like a raccoon-dog) that was positive for COVID
15
No wild animal vendor sick?21.211111.522----- The first officially confirmed case wasn't in a wild animal vendor, and nobody was able to find a sick wild animal vendor.
16
Two lineages
17
All market cases B?3211113161----- All confirmed wet market cases were Lineage B, not the seemingly-earlier Lineage A
18
First A near market?110.021110.111----- ...but the first confirmed Lineage A cases were very close to the wet market
19
Two basal polytomies?110.25111112----- COVID is divided into two polytomies, Lineage A and B, with the existence of intermediates disputed
20
Genetic clock?110.1111113----- The genetic clock appears to show that Lineage B has more mutations
21
Viral genome
22
New furin cleavage site through 12 base insertion
?3010520202550241----- COVID has a novel furin cleavage site made of a 12 nucleotide insert
23
Frameshift PRRAR?0.250.70.00050.2510.0170.250.141----- COVID's furin cleavage site is an unusual frameshift-inserted PRRAR
24
Binds to human ACE2?1.2511221112----- COVID is surprisingly good at binding to human ACE2
25
CGGCGG?51.525110273----- COVID's furin cleavage site contains the unusual codons CGGCGG
26
Reasons WIV couldn't/wouldn't create COVID
27
DEFUSE not happening?0.50.660.40.40.060.50.660.251----- Adjustment for the fact that we don't know for sure that WIV was even doing DEFUSE-style gain of function research
28
Needed backbone virus?0.30.50.0010.50.50.010.50.162----- Adjustment for no plausible backbone virus in WIV's publicly released databases
29
Needed to find it interesting?0.90.80.11110.513----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would need to choose to do gain-of-function on a COVID progenitor virus instead of other seemingly-more-promising candidates
30
Needed reverse genetics for it?0.910.0110.20.1114----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would need to create a reverse genetics system for the COVID progenitor
31
Live virus instead of pseudovirus?110.5111115----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would have to choose to use live virus instead of pseudovirus
32
FCS in S1?110.5111116----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would need to choose to put the furin cleavage site in the S1 area
33
Didn't publish anything?110.1111117----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would have to do all of this without publicizing intermediate steps
34
Have to succeed at creating/culturing COVID?110.110.51118----- Adjustment for the fact that WIV would need to culture COVID without creating any uncharacteristic mutations
35
Other factors
36
No outbreaks in other cities?1.211111011.331----- The early stages of COVID seemed confined to Wuhan, without separate outbreaks in other cities
37
Same month as SARS?0.90.80.25111111----- COVID started in the same month as SARS, which might mean the outbreak displays normal seasonal patterns
38
Coverup would succeed?0.50.70.10.3330.110.512----- Adjustment for the fact that China would have to cover up lab leak successfully enough to produce only the evidence we see, and no more
