Coronavirus outbreak

[Racing roadkill]

There are plenty of corona viruses circulating in the natural world and one has mutated. It hasn't leaked from a lab. Sky and Youtube should be ashamed of putting those out.

I believe there are 7 known, characterised, Corona Viruses ( it was 6 before this one).

LOL - I don't read children's comics. However, do feel free to respond to the points I've made.

I think there are two virus labs in Wuhan. One was not far from their wet market.

That sounds awfully like an artificially modified virus to my mind. Probably a work in progress. Step one get a Corona virus to work on. Step 2 modify it to make it do what it does to mask itself. Step 3 modify its RNA to make it a double hard bar steward. Step 4 develop a vaccine for it. Step 5 patent the vaccine. Step 6 release it into the population. Step 7 let it rip. Step 8 feign surprise, and tell the world you’re working hard on a vaccine for this thing. Step 9 charge stupid Government people all round the world huge money to use the vaccine you’ve miraculously found in your ‘library’ that seems to fit the bill. Only it somehow got out at step 2. Whoopsy daisy. It doesn’t sound quite so mad on the third reading

I think every single virologist in the world would disagree with you......it's called natural selection, that's why viruses are so effective. They mutate spontaneously.

What makes you say that?

@Racing roadkill - you are spreading conspiracy theories and fake news. Please stop it. It is dangerous.

(ii) Whitty, Vallance and their teams are as good as you can get - incompetent they are not.

Are you sure? I feel Whitty seems hamstrung by political concerns because when asked about him, Han'cock, Gove and Boris all catching the virus, he wittered something about it being indiscriminate, rather than saying anything about probably having caught it from a lying fool who was proud of shaking hands with people long after most around the world had stopped.. https://www.newsweek.com/boris-johnson-says-shaken-hands-coronavirus-patients-1490214

Got proof? To me it sounds at least as plausible that the virus escaped from a lab where they were working on bat viruses than from the neighbouring fish market where they did not sell bats.

Protein glycation / glycosylation is not an uncommon process.

Both have a long history in this field. Both are extremely competent senior academics. I know people who have worked with them over the years. They are not incompetent - which was the allegation. IMO, there are few countries which have their expertise in such key positions.

It is more plausible that it simply mutated - that's what viruses (and bacteria) do. Don't forget epidemiologists were predicting that this would happen a couple of years ago - not because of poor biosecurity but because DNA mutates. It's simple Darwinism.

There is a theory that Covid 19 escaped from a lab in Wuhan. I have only seen it espoused on an anti-China channel on YouTube and Sky Australia, which is much more right wing than Sky UK. However, a Chinese lab placed an advert for a virus specialist to work on a Coronavirus. So, they were experimenting or studying Coronavirus in the city where the contagion broke out. It has been assumed that the virus jumped species in one of Wuhan's exotic animal meat markets, but Sky reported a witness say she'd never seen any bats sold there.

I read an article on a science website (forget which one) that, as noted on here, the most likely route was from bats to humans via a third carrier, such as a pangolin. As for the lab theory - I wouldn't be surprised if China had knowledge of the virus far earlier than they have disclosed and were recruiting scientists to study it from early on.

Whether the numbers are showing a positive reaction, and whether the incompetents in charge react, are 2 different issues.
Apologies ( again ) for the wail link but.

So what - that's an opinion in the daily mail. Youre post said the government was considering easing the lockdown and the schools may reopen straight after Easter.

Numerous govt sources , Whitty, Hancock. Rabb - have since said today the lockdown won't be eased anytime soon. An official from the Welsh government has come out and flatly said "schools will not be opening immediately after Easter.


That's not to deny some experts believe that closing schools helps much. But there is absolutely nothing to suggest the UK government is about to reopen schools or ease the lockdown anytime soon

Edit:- Even youre quoted source is saying May 4 as a possible day the schools re open !!!!!!

Aha, yep, it was the 5G signals that caused the virus in the bats to mutate, then the scientists impregnated all our bog rolls with Russian 5G enabled nano tracker troll bots. Then the mutant 5G corona bats were eaten by snakes, who were eaten by people. Then the people all got dysentery ( a well known symptom of Coronawhasisname) and wiped them selves with the nano tracker Russian 5G enabled troll bot impregnated bog roll. So now we are all being tracked by Russia, and all because of 5G technology.

Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the explanation - I am slightly embarrassed by the fact I missed the obvious connections.

Correct

I've eaten thousands of meals in mainland China in some weird and wonderful places and I've eaten some proper weird stuff. But I've never seen bats eaten in China, ever

They are eaten in Palau in Micronesia and people who visit there, amongst whom are Chinese, post videos of the soup. This is where the idea of "Chinese eating bats caused Coronavirus" came from. It's nonsense

They more than likely do,im guessing it might be a more "under the counter" type delicacy though.I spent a year traveling through China years ago.In some pretty obscure places.Come to think of it I'm sure I've seen it eaten in Vietnam aswell ?
Totally of track here Nick and just remenising,I'm not even sure it was bat where the virus came from anyway !
