mhaze, we all read things differently, in fact without evidence we read it the way our mind set wants. It is ridiculous of you without evidence to claim the virus was manufactured in a Chinese lab, just as it is for me in my satirical piece to claim it was produced at your house. One is as silly as the other, mine is as laughable as yours, yet with your assumed self importance you would never see that.

Your man Trump claimed the very same thing without evidence, as he has claimed so much without evidence. Former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell, a respected person by all sides of politics in America, has called out Trump as a habitual liar. I started a thread 'Is The United States About To Implode', that might not happen before November but if Trump is re-elected its a distinct possibility, as is the possibility of war with China under a Trump administration. Most of the time I don't care who is in the White House, a peanut farmer, a B grade actor, I don't care they are all a much of a muchness, but the thing about Trump is his extreme lust for power, and his total lack of integrity. qualities people like Hitler and Stalin possessed, now they were dangerous!

SteeleRedux,

What if it turns out that the WuFlu virus is in fact a genetically modified form of SARS?

I agree with the Graham-y letter but it should go further.
Truth is starting to be revealed so open all the borders immediately. Get over the academic regimented restart nonsense. Immediately get back to the way the economy was. All back to work now. The UN WHO WB IMF can pay for money owing and money lost. To help pay, defund the individual bureaucrats and academics and politicians who arranged the nonsense lockdown. Nothing sensible is impossible.

JF,

Yeah, 115,000 deaths in the US so far - weak bastards ! 38 9/11s. Yes, open up immediately, let's go back to the target of herd immunity - we've forgotten that. The strong will survive, the weak will die. That's evolution, the survival of the fittest.

And in Australia - only 102 deaths ! What a waste of resources ! Empty hospital beds ! Billions lost just to save lives ! What a waste of opportunity to kill off the weak.

Joe

LOUDmouth,

Yes! No Mercy! Death to the unbeliever!

Start bringing in millions of Chinese, WuFlu virus or no WuFlu virus, and give us that Chinese future we have been craving for over the past 30 years. Long live Mao! Long live Andrew Forrest!

Epidemiologists? Virologists, perhaps?

I didn't say "manufactured" in the lab. Just that it escaped from the lab. While it might be true that it was actually created there, its much more likely that it was a natural virus that the lab was working on and for which the labs provided a mechanism to jump species.

Its also been suggested that the base CV-19 virus originated in a bat that is not found Wuhan or in the wet markets. Potentially the lab just bought the virus closer to human contact.

We also know that the labs were working on the genomes for coronavira since they've published quite a number of articles over the years on their research.

I'm not suggesting that there's definitive evidence in any direction. Just that, on the balance of probabilities, its more likely to have come from the lab than from the wet market.

Paul also thought I'd said 'manufactured'. So as per above.





SR wrote:"If events like Tienanmen Square fails to end a regime it is hardly likely any heat on the Corona Virus would do it."

In the same way as events like the 1968 Czech uprising's failure to end that regime showed it was unassailable? The Tiananmen Square massacre was a localised event that the regime was able to hide and suppress. This virus probably killed 10's if not 100's of thousands of Chinese and evidence that it was caused by government neglect or agency would be impossible to hide.

The regime is already on the nose in many parts of China and evidence that it was responsible would trigger further unrest. Whatismore, there is already moves in many parts of the world to disconnect from China and if such proof came out, those efforts would redouble. The economic effects of that would be disastrous for the regime.

Its really quite funny how SR thinks his opinion is the equivalent of fact.
