It sustains my intuitive observation that Israel's merely two million people are disproportionately represented as sources. Perhaps they have too much time on their hands. Perhaps someone there fails to realize his own interest in an orderly sandbox. While we have been totally ineffective, not to say inept, in identifying virus authors, there would seem to be an advantage to starting in a small population with a lot of clues.
