I really feel that you are interpreting things incorrectly to support your diagnosis rather than listening to the whole message, which is: UNKNOWN VIRUS, PLEASE WAIT

keep your collection closed. it's the right thing to do.
I agree. The bolded text was the least important out of context, as opposed to the entirety of the email. What I got from the email is exactly what has been concerning me this whole time.

To me, personally, without knowing anything about you pros or cons.

It sounds like you have read what you wanted to read (highlighted text with your own notes), even though he urgently tells you that there are scientists around the country, colleagues and other vets, working on this unknown virus, and that you should literally stop doing your own research and persuading yourself. Stop taking any corrective actions, until he has given you a definite answer. That may take months!

I can go online and find WebMD and try to diagnose myself with symptoms, and I may very likely be good at it. But that does not make me a Doctor, or suddenly make me equivalent to one or give me the authority to make any such diagnosis.

You've been immersed into this world, doing your best to learn as much as you can, but frankly, you most likely do not have any schooling in this area, and should take a huge step back. Stop making such large decisions when Dr. Jacobson has said time and time again in his emails that they are still working on your case.

Once again, my concerns are still the same. I do not think your a scammer, I do not think your out to make a fast buck, but I do think you should stay closed for a few years, or until at the least, Dr. Jacobson and his team are able to identify and decide on a course of action.

For the sake of yourself and the rest of this community. God forbid anything happen.
