Science question: how quick can be the development of a hACE2 mouse model?
Hello #ScienceMastodon,
How fast could have been the development of the hACE2 mouse model described in https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(20)30302-4 ?
Context: the speed argument was used by the US National Security Council to argue for a lab leak. I'd like to fact-check this.
[It is a question I would have asked on Twltter back in the days; please boost to help me reach the relevant people! - thanks]

A couple of months these days. We had a point mutant ready in June 2020 (published muuuch later though)
