Just to be clear, there weren’t animal samples available for testing. It’s not that they tested a bunch of animals and didn’t find covid. I know that’s what you meant but not everyone is familiar with the paper and it’s important to be meticulous here.

I don't actually think that is what they meant. If there are no animals to even sample, you don't describe that as "that covid was not found in a single animal sample". No one would phrase it that way.

Easier on my general well-being to just assume positive intent. (As is obvious from my comment history I don't always succeed there, but I do try.)

That you have been able to maintain assuming positive intent with regard to COVID comments for this long is kind of amazing.
