Nope.
China hid it for a month.
That made sure it took feudal measures to respond effectively.
And, yes, it is a venerable feudal response.
Quiet, Panda-breath.
One of the researchers at Wuhan, was working on “addition of function” to bat coronaviruses, and publishing work on it,
back in 2015.
And the way the virus infects human cells...is NOT found in previous Coronaviruses;
it has to do with a cleavage site on the virus spike protein:
a human cell protein cuts the spike open, allowing the cells to merge.
But it is found in Ebola and AIDS.
How did it magically get there all on its own?
From a poster on Instapundit:

Oh, it was engineered alright. At UNC-Chapel Hill, with the assistance of a Chi-com.

Note the wording; “ ...we generated and characterized a chimeric virus.” She didn’t just study it, she generated it.
Next up, I’ll leave you to do the research about study of this virus in Canada by the same Chinese lady, and the fact that she had her badge pulled and was ejected from the country, with the Canadian police still in the active investigation mode.

We have been speculating that in some states these university dorm rooms may be converted to a secure quarantine area....we will know pretty soon...
This pandemic is a giant flaming bag of poop dumped on Trump’s doorstep.
There really is no win at all for him with this. Don’t do enough, dead bodies. Dead bodies leading on every news site. Do just enough, economy hurts and people think you are an idiot who killed the economy for no darned good reason.
Just do the best he can and hope he doesn’t have thousands of dead people in November and the economy isn’t hurt TOO bad and maybe has a chance to recover.
One thing he has no control over...the supply chains from china. And the supplies of medical equipment. All he can do is encourage production here.
“Way more than the virus ever would have destroyed the vast majority of them.”
Their are degrees of destruction.
Societies, as expressed by government, are too slow to react, and too quick back to business when it comes to saving everybody in a pandemic.
It is the role of the king to find the balance.
We are going to lose some cherished members of our society. Because life must go on.
It’s you guys panicking over the nonpanic that will give the Dems the win if they get one. That’s the current hoax - that there is a panic. Thereby making it more likely that there will be one.
President Trump is being presidential while you butflubros are spreading misinformation that will cause great harm. This is clearly not just another flu and you guys are getting in the way of people preparing for the quarantines and shortages.
At this point it’s starting to look like you have an agenda.
Holcomb limits gatherings of more than 250 people; state to grant 20-day school waivers
There are two fairs...the spring fair and the now Washington State Fair which opens Labor Day Weekend now and runs to the end of the month...
Did he catch it that way, or did he just turn himself into a superspreader like that stupid lawyer in New York?
Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
It’s entirely possible that it was made for research purposes. That’s my belief. Legitimate research btw. The bat researcher (has anyone seen or heard from him lately?) was doing research to figure out why bats carry all this scary stuff and don’t get sick.
Likely we’ll never know the real truth because the scientists there were killed.
Add beans to your rice and you get complete proteins.
Try another tack, wherever you’re going.
I told the guy stocking shelves at Food Lion last night (3/11), while making my final true prep run, that the then-current panic runs were just the warm-up, because of the “pandemic” label and the then-impending Trump speech. I told him he was going to be really busy, IIRC.
My next grocery trip will be picking the slim pickings from skinny shelves, undoubtedly.
I prefer the term ‘hapless’ lawyer.
He kind of looks hapless.
I bet his wife has to keep track of his keys and glasses. He might be a nice guy in spite of his being a lawyer.
I gave substantially last week.
And like many here I prefer my contribution remain anonymous.
It’s fine to ask everyone to donate.
But don’t be a complete ass and insinuate somebody didn’t contribute, when they did.
for the just the flu crowd...imgagine if you had let granny stock up like she wanted instead of mocking her she wouldnt be faced with this right now
“Those 60 years or those with a known underlying health condition should limit public exposure, relying on friends or family to provide food and other essential items.”
How many here gave to FR this week?
==
Probably more than you know.
Why? Are you the guy in charge of keeping track of who donates to FR?
Asking for a FRiend.
“Add beans to your rice and you get complete proteins.”
Thanks, but got tons of meat, butter, and cheese. So I’m good...as long as power stays on!
Add some meat to your beans or rice and you get complete proteins is the case, I believe.
Not your fault, but these press articles keep referring to “friends and family” as though they have magic immunity.
omg...
What a mess we have here...
