New Chinese study indicates novel coronavirus did not originate in Huanan seafood market

A new study by Chinese researchers indicates the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.

The study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market. The findings were the result of analyses of genome-wide data, sources of infection and the route of spread of 93 samples of the novel coronavirus collected from 12 countries across four continents.

Maybe it was meant to reign in Hong Kong.

Any link to the actual article? I’d like to read it.

That it didn’t originate there was established a while ago epidemiologically.

How far is the food market from the bioweapons lab, and do the food stalls deliver or is it all take-out?

“So they created a virus that asians are much more susceptible to (possibly) and that western medicine seems to be treating much better.”

Yep. So much for the grand conspiracy theory.

Hi Janet, thanks. But I mean the scientific paper.

Maybe the GT article links to it. I’ll look.

But unless it was meant as a wartime agent, which doesn’t make NEARLY as much sense as anthrax or mustard gas or something fast and brutal, what is the point of it?

They were willing to destroy peacetime trade and prosperity (that’s a reality now because of this virus) to what end?

As some ancient astronaut theorists believe.

And the article you posted from the NY Post this morning...

I doubt the theory it was released purposefully, unless by a true psychotic, but it’s looking more favorable for accidental incident from the lab.

Maybe. LOL.

[dp0622]

No matter how I look at it, I don’t see it.

As a wartime agent, it’s not NEARLY as deadly as many other agents.

As a peacetime agent, destroying the west would destroy their economy.

And it would spread to them in no time unless they released the agent in peace time on the west and then closed ALL airports, etc. Then it would be obvious it was them.

It just doesn’t make sense.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Here is the link to the scientific article.

It is in English.

Agreed. I see no point in something as contagious as Corona virus as a bio warfare agent. This clearly doesn’t self-limit, so it’s too dangerous to use even if it was planned as a poorly-conceived weapon.

Taiwan, the ccp likes;
Japan, the ccp hates;
Which is the more likely target?

wusan is china’s premier bio research lab - super hi tech, with suspected PLA bio-weapons component. But is is not the only bio research lab.

bttt

[dp0622]

I was thinking Japan.

But it’s just not a very effective or containable agent to use.
