WUHAN VIRUS: IT’S NO COINCIDENCE
Powerline ^ | MARCH 18, 2020 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 03/18/2020 2:06:03 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Check out this 2007 article in Clinical Microbiology Reviews, titled “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus as an Agent of Emerging and Reemerging Infection.” It begins:

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a novel virus that caused the first major pandemic of the new millennium (89, 180, 259). The rapid economic growth in southern China has led to an increasing demand for animal proteins including those from exotic game food animals such as civets. Large numbers and varieties of these wild game mammals in overcrowded cages and the lack of biosecurity measures in wet markets allowed the jumping of this novel virus from animals to human (353, 376). Its capacity for human-to-human transmission, the lack of awareness in hospital infection control, and international air travel facilitated the rapid global dissemination of this agent.

Sounds familiar. The article concludes:

Coronaviruses are well known to undergo genetic recombination (375), which may lead to new genotypes and outbreaks. The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored.

That was in 2007. Did the Centers for Disease Control take the hint?

Wuhan is in east central China, due west of Shanghai.

Couldn’t agree more. Trump had China in his hands. He had the Dems in his hand. He had the media in his hands. I’m convinced this is a systematic takedown. China can’t believe how well this is going. Heck they now own stock in many many companies now.

The timing is very suspect, Russia and Impeachment didn’t work. We have to shut down Trump’s Rallies, but how - a Pandemic - we are desperate! Did our own CDC mutate a virus and with the help of our crooked CIA plant it outside the lab in China? Don’t forget the CDC Director of Respiratory Diseases is Nancy Messonnier a sister of Rod Rosenstein.

There are NO coincidences! What if China intentionally did not report the existence of the Chinese Communist Coronavirus until 5 or so million residents of Wuhan spread out around the world? Just askin.

A very good question.

Not a chance. The CDC is too busy trying to enforce gun control to be bothered with infectious disease.

Highly unlikely. Stomach acid dissolves respiratory viruses readily.. No one has yet gotten this disease by eating a bat.

The answer may become apparent to us within a few weeks.

After the economy is trashed, what comes next?

One of the best ideas that has floated up is to zero out the $1.1 Trillion of US debt that China owns.

They MUST PAY FOR THIS!

SARS, swine flu, bird flu - they are literally the hotbed for this.
