many researchers claim to have “isolated SARS-COV-2”. Claiming to have done something and actually doing it are sometimes two different things, even in peer-reviewed science. The word "isolated" is very liberally thrown about in virology as a whole. Fact is it shouldn't be used at all, since the standard methods they use do nothing of the sort.
So? It's been isolated multiple times since. Do a pubmed search.
