The laziest are typically amused when someone else doesn’t do their work for them…
funny since the context was regarding the Alex Berenson v Twitter lawsuit.
But as per usual, you are arguing your own points whether relevant or not.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that I didn't find relevant information.
And -- as I already stated -- that doesn't answer the question.
Ignoring the origin story, it sounds like the virus at this stage transfers more easily from human to animal. It that incorrect, unknown, or just a result of the fact that the virus is so pervasive in humans?

BTW I did google up the "close the beaches thing". It's a LOL for me in that the UCSD/Scripps person in question here is Kim Prather. Turns out this is somebody my son was recommended to try and work with if he ended up choosing UCSD. For what's its worth, here's her "side" of the whole debacle, at least as told through an outlet called "Beachgrit".
Fake news: Scripps scientist Kim ‘wants to yell out her window at every surfer’ Prather says LA Times “retaught me the meaning of out of context”
If I had a dollar for every time a subject said I misquoted ‘em, oowee, I’d be dining, nightly, on civet, otter and wolf puppies, sourced from the finest Chinese wet market. But, knowing media, as I do, having seen the machinations and dirty dealings of major newspapers, I know how often...

IMO unknown would be the safe answer, although the pervasiveness can't but help be a driver. A big unknown will be if it's an R11 virus for us, how infectious does it remain after adapting to new zoonotic hosts. And let's hope jumping back is harder. I was thinking about this because I got some kind of animal rescue email about a scam where long tour service members dropped their dogs off at this "boarding facility". Which then kept them in malnourished conditions in the vicinity of dead livestock. I would image rodents and other wild critters were coming and going. These situations would not be as ideal incubators as the caves in China, but if Cov2 retains high infectivity in its new resevoris these types of situations could bear monitoring.
I’m not your dosi doh partner…..find someone else who wants to play your my damn games cause it doesn’t matter where she found it, does it….NO.
It’s out there and public record
And what does the "public record" show? For a time, Berenson was Tucker Carlson's favorite science fiction writer, even giving him regular segments on his show. However, when it became obvious that Berenson's "don't worry about covid" fables were obviously dangerously wrong, he was dropped. So he continued his self-promoting campaign on twitter.
None of that answers the question of where Grace got her hand-wringing version.

How was he dangerous?

Was the misspelling intentional? Some kinda hybrid shrew?
He was casting doubt about the seriousness of the pandemic and the efficacy of the vaccines. Eventually, not even Fox News could stand him, so he took his personal-publicity campaign to Twitter, where he recruited paid memberships for his exclusive website.

As far as your article goes, yeah "journalists" have a tendency to embellish, but in this case these were direct quotes from her. Word to paper doesn't always translate as you think and it sounds like she realized how irrational she sounded when she read the articles. Nevertheless, she was dead wrong, and in fact her opinion was dangerous.
We all make mistakes and its how a mistake is handled is the true test of character. She never issued an apology or a retraction of her opinion. Saying she was taken out of context is neither. My biggest issue with the scientific community is the lack of accountability. When a credential scientist makes a public opinion there is an implied credibility and in some cases, like Dad4, a reverence for that opinion. As best as I can tell, there are no repercussions for giving a false opinion, other than scorn from other scientists if you disagree with the consensus opinion. Most credentialed professions have a Code of Ethics with discipline for violating those ethics. To restore credibility in the scientific community it would be prudent to develop some sort of accountability system, particularly for any opinions or studies that are issued publicly.
Did you read what she said in the article?
"In another part of the conversation, we discussed all of the pollution run-off that gets into the ocean especially after the rains we have had. It is well documented that our oceans become polluted at times–many here in SD are quite polluted now. There is also sewage in the ocean. The point I was trying to make was I would not go in the ocean (here in SD) where it is polluted right now nor would I go to the crowded beaches. As I suspected would happen that quote about not going in the ocean has now been used for many headlines around the world–turns out it was excellent “clickbait”. "

Mask mandate didn’t work against COVID-19 in LA, say doctors from USC and UCLA
A letter from USC and UCLA doctors and researchers sent to L.A. Board of Supervisors said mask mandates won’t slow the spread. Other doctors disagree as the mask debate rages on.

Going back to your old theory of " find someone who sounds qualified but agrees with me anyway."
You do realize that medical school doesn't actually include statistics training, right? If a policy caused a 10% increase or decrease in transmission rates, there is nothing in med school that would help them find it.
