i suppose a key issue is whether (A) “social media speculation” simply
referred to one particular tweet made shortly before the suspension, as
the optimists tend to think, or whether (B) it relates to a broader pattern
of behaviour shown over time & across different social media platforms
(chatboards, twitter, WhatsApp groups, group emails, etc.) with collective
effect of ramping up sentiment, as some sceptics seem to believe. in other
words, was there a single leak of some genuine, positive news about EUA,
which is taking more than seven weeks to ameliorate, or were there a series
of ‘leaks’ which were not fully based on real, underlying corporate progress?
(if the latter, then subsequent, important but different question would be,
who was responsible for such upbeat pseudo-leaks? - me, I don’t know.)
