He must have sources of information, you're right about that. I bet that there are a lot of people who are reading his Grim Truth posts who are secretly glad he's saying some of this stuff, and so if they find out anything dodgey that the Ministry's trying to keep secret, they'll send it to him so he can put it out in his next one. But as to how he's getting the news, I can't imagine. No one's sending owls now, and if he's really right about knowing how the epidemic started, surely he would have been doing everything he could not to get sick himself, right from the beginning. Even if he decides to take the chance that getting an owl won't make him fall sick, I'd think he might figure it'd still be too risky: since no one's sending owls anymore, receiving them might draw too much attention to himself. So I have to think he's getting his news someway other than using owls.
