CV and mad panic behaviour

[madbluboy]

No social distancing at the mass protest in the city today.

China have decided CoVid came from labs at Fort Detrick in the USA and not Wuhan live markets, meanwhile Brazil have suggested the Chinese vaccine isnt as effective as promised which is shorthand for saying its about as effective as sucking a butter menthol.

And again, the culprit for this global misery?

I have lost all respect for the Chinese, they are taking the piss and treating us and the world like fools.

I read a while back that covid research was being done in US  facilities up until a few years ago,  I think during Obama's time. He cut the funding and stopped it and it was transferred to China, where it continued with US institutional support as well as from other sources including Australia. Chinese scientists have been involved from the earliest stages both in the US and other places.

That would be SARS and MERS research I presume?

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus, new to science in 2020.

Cookie, I'm inclined to more support the theory that Covid19 was developed by the Chinese Government for military purposes and  some how by accident found its way out of the laboratory rather than the live market theory.

And, for a considered assessment:

Its closest relative in nature is the RaTG13 virus, which was discovered in horseshoe bats in southwest China’s Yunnan province. The 96.2% genetic match between the two makes it highly likely that COVID-19 also originated in the bat colonies of China’s southwest border regions.

I underwent NBC warfare training when I was a young bloke and I can’t really see how COVID could be effective for military purposes.  Yes, it would over-extend ICUs, but it would do so indiscriminately and only as long as as there wasn’t a vaccine.

There are so many more effective ways to gain a military advantage that it’s hard to see why anyone would bother trying to manipulate a virus.

I tend toward that theory too EB but the Chinese probably obtained much intellectual property and input for their research and development from western institutions  according to some of the sources I read a while ago. I  will try and find it out.
