Wondering if lab workers were selling infected animals out the back door to the live animal market identified as the source.
Done on purpose...no doubt...Clinton/Soros/CIA/China...
“You’d think they’d shoot for something better than a 2 percent death rate of infected in developed countries. The people there eat bats and rats. That’s likely where it came from.”
Yep. You nailed it.
A virus with a high sickness rate but a low mortality rate would be a good precursor to war; sicken the soldiers before your fight them.
They know this from the genomes. You are correct.
I hope China is wiped out. Just sharing...
Not snakes. Bats. The genome is published. Most likely course was bat to civet to human.
Of the first group back in December, most had been there.
The genome is published. Hello.
Russia has had a few.
To fellow Michigan FReeper:
(On genome of current virus being published by China)
Michigan person quoted in The Scientist Jan23,2019 “In the next couple of weeks or so, we’re going to see more and more cases. We’re going to start to see how serious it really is,” says Peter Gulick, an infectious disease specialist at Michigan State University. “Right now, we’re just hearing numbers here, numbers there . . . numbers that may not have substance, but just may make you worry.”
From studying the genes of certain animals they can tell which are likely to have or get these viruses?
Thanks ahead of time :)
Let me find my collection of links and post them to you. There are maybe 5.
The story is well known and accepted. It’s quite fun to read.
In short the genome is 96% identical to a common bat coronavirus. They know an intermediate was involved and are guessing civet cats. Of the original infected group, 2/3 had been to the market and were mostly healthy middle aged men.
Deaths are at 13% and infection from 37-63% I think it was. They did downgrade the Ro to 2.8. That’s the ability to infect others, so kinda every infected person infects about 2.8 others.
Quarantine is not going to help except to maybe slow it down.
Are you on twitter?
See my post above at 114.
We depend knowledgeable people like you to inform us.
Thanks.
Feed us the facts the news media lack or suppress.
But please remember most of us (me!) are not trained in technical language and need your guidance. Two or three acronyms and I’m lost.
thank you
Thank you for the link.
I thought last lines were telling:
“Learning the lessons from SARS, which started as animal-to-human transmission, all game meat trading should be better regulated to terminate this potential transmission route,” Poon said. “Further investigations are needed to clarify the potential threat posed by this emerging virus and asymptomatic cases.”

So all this time later they still have those horrible animal and seafood places where diseases can jump to new hosts and mutate. With all China’s strict government overseeing of personal activities they just let that food market filth go on and start another disease? Dumb.
Two? Are both within 10 miles of the Wet Seafood etc. Market?
