gave independent evidence in april and put together a petition calling for mrs folbigg to be pardoned. i m joined now by the chief executive anna maria arabia. talk us through your involvement in the case. and it was a pretty harrowing case. the australian academy of science involvement in the case commenced in 2019 when a fellow, a professor, brought to our attention new genetic information that was available that shed light on the conditions of the family. the genomic sequence of kathleen folbigg and her children had become available at that time. that was during the first inquiry into the convictions of kathleen folbigg and science was still emerging but there was enough evidence to show that this warranted further investigation and so after that first inquiry the australian academy of science became involved in looking at this evidence and the more we looked the more compelling

cases in china and the variants are more likely going to emerge in the unprotected, unvaccinated population. the second concern is that china seems to be not that transparent in sharing data, including the genomic sequence of the samples. that s what i want to ask you about. it doesn t seem like it s just the lack of case reporting that could help the public health officials worldwide. there are concerns that you re talking about, that they re going to stop sharing this genomic sequence data. that s how they zero in on these new variants. how much does that concern you? well, first of all, so far we haven t had smoking gun evidence that indeed this virus has mutated, there are no strains emerging in the country. secondly, we don t we ve

received conflicting information on the sharing of genomic sequence. according to the global virus database, china is submitting more genomic information from recent samples. i just find that this seems to be not supported by convincing scientific convincing evidence. all right, dr. huang, thank you for your expertise. good to see you this morning. thank you. southwest airlines has canceled another 2,300 flights today. the pilot s union says it expects to be almost back to a normal schedule tomorrow. cnn s adrian broaddus has been camped out at chicago s airport since this all began. we re hearing from southwest about concrete steps it s taking to make things right for customers. i m curious what those are and

u.s. skepticism about the data china is releasing to the rest of the world about its covid cases, and specifically a lack of genomic sequence data. they don t believe, u.s. federal aelt officials, they ll be able to have a good handle with the data they have now, with potential of new variants that could emerge from the surge of cases we re seeing in china. as a result, they don t know they d be able to tell when there s a new variant and slow the spread. as a result federal health officials tell us that starting on january 5th at 12:01 a.m., they will begin requiring a negative covid test pre departure from anyone coming from china. if you re coming by plane from china to the united states, you re going to have to get a negative covid test up to two days before departure. it can be a pcr test. it can also, interestingly, be one of that antigen self tests if it s the kind you do
