virus containing lung fluids were processed and human epithelial cells were used to culture and produce sufficient virus for analysis, and then it was exhaustively sequenced.
Using a matrix to culture virus is similar to using agar to culture bacteria, or soil or hydroponics to culture plants from seed, or animal wombs to culture embryos. This is biology. Seeds require water, air, and some nourishment, and that does not imply seeds don't exist.
The phrase "virus-containing fluids" presupposes that virus exists. Culturing material in epithelial cells is fine, but it is not a means to prove isolation. Rather, as the process implies, it is a blending of materials.
Please just show us a paper, with a methods section, wherein anyone claims to "isolate" a virus.

Dear Todd Harvey,
The phrase "virus-containing fluids" presupposes that virus exists. Culturing material in epithelial cells is fine, but it is not a means to prove isolation. Rather, as the process implies, it is a blending of materials.
Please just show us a paper, with a methods section, wherein anyone claims to "isolate" a virus.
Thanks.
