... A much less echoed, although less radical, scenario is that the current outbreak is related to a lab accident involving disease transmission experiments intended for peaceful purposes. As mentioned earlier, coronaviruses are generally studied at biosafety level 2 and sometimes 3, including the 2003 SARS-CoV. Coronaviruses are not typically highly hazardous—the dangerous ones are not highly infectious and the highly infectious ones are not deadly. SARS-CoV-2 happens to be an exception, although it is not extremely fatal, as many other viruses are. ...

Horse Hockey. What a tool!!!!
As of now, the true origins of COVID-19 need further research. Too bad a China ran by demons cannot cough up some scientific information that can give the rest of the world a way to protect from such origins.
Brazilians Samba. Muslims massacre and dip pita in tehina. Americans start fads and watch TV. Frenchmen sip wine at bistros and recite poems. Germans engineer and drink beer. Chinese spread contagion and eat rice (and sometimes bats).
It seems that every damn deadly virus or flu comes from China, Hong Kong we need to get the hell out of there it is becoming ridiculous!!!
Who? Me?
You don’t think the ChiComs could accidentally on purpose release a deadly virus into the world?
You’re gonna hurt my feelings with talk like that!
Well, they have a wall...just need to finish it!
It’s a disinformation piece containing generalities. Explain to me how in nature HIV genes got spliced into the RNA of the virus? Read the Indian research report. There are many other anomalies with this virus as well.
In other words,this was a deliberate act.
“Explain to me how in nature HIV genes got spliced into the RNA of the virus?”
When a virus infects a cell, it turns it into a factory for making new viruses. When two viruses infect a cell at the same time, their genetic material might be swapped to make hybrid viruses with pieces of each.
So in this scenario, a Frankenstein virus emerges from some animal with both HIV and a cold. You can do an Internet search for “gene swapping” and “viruses”, and find some interesting articles.
That being said, as the article acknowledges, showing that the virus was not bioengineered does not also show that it didn’t come from a bioweapons laboratory. It could be a naturally occurring virus accumulated in the lab, and then released, accidentally or intentionally. That’s the most plausible explanation for the outbreak that I’ve seen so far.
What happens to the cell, does it eventually die from all of the disturbance caused by the viral invasion?
“What happens to the cell, does it eventually die from all of the disturbance caused by the viral invasion?”
Yes. Nasty buggers.
So how do we eventually recover if millions and millions of otherwise healthy cells die off?
That’s what immune systems are for. The human immune system is truly miraculous and breathtaking in its complexity and adaptability.
Also, viruses that are less deadly are the smarter ones, I think, in terms of natural selection. It’s hard to propagate your species if you insist on rushing to kill off your host.
Dumb question but why aren’t our sinuses and throat etc. covered in scar tissue post infection if so much healthy tissue dies off? I’ve always wondered about that.
I think sometimes it does, but as for the reason it usually doesn’t, not sure. I would guess that usually, the tissue as a whole stays intact, and no healing is necessary.

Been that was since the Black Death.
