So what is true then?
"Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available" this from here https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download , or this "SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was isolated in the laboratory and is available for research by the scientific and medical community."
I’m guessing the CDC one is correct, even though it’s the less juicy conclusion. Haven’t read the FDA report. Is it possible that the quotes refers to a sample not being available to the specific researchers that put together the report?
