The Origin of the COVID-19 Outbreak in Wuhan

... 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. ...

If enough healthy cells die, the whole organism dies.

Democrats aren’t as smart as a virus.

[HypatiaTaught]

And this is why we are dying a slow death.

Mucus.

What about the dead tissue from the virus attack? What happens to it? Why no scarring?

[Grampa Dave]

It’s a disinformation piece containing generalities. Explain to me how in nature HIV genes got spliced into the RNA of the virus?

The Communist Chinese have played their attack on the West brilliantly. They have brought the greatest, strongest country in the history of the world to its knees in less than a month ... and without firing a shot (or a missile). And there remains widespread disagreement on how long America will stay paralyzed. It's clear they know us better than we know ourselves. 26 posted on 4/4/2020, 10:28:38 AM by glennaro

Earlier last week Tucker Carlson did a segment on the origin of the coronavirus. Carlson, who has been pretty aggressive in his coverage of the virus, pointed out a Chinese research paper (since pulled by the author) which claimed the virus could not have arisen at the Wuhan wet market because the horseshoe bats where the virus arose were not for sale at the market. In fact, the bats are not naturally found anywhere within 900 miles of the market. However, bats were being studied for viruses they carried in two labs including one just a few hundred meters from the market.

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~!

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

President Xi Jinping’s: "The Yellow Peril ChiCom Wuhan Pneumonia Novel Coronavirus aka the Red Death/Mass People Killing Virus, Chinobyl#2, The Yellow Peril, CCP virus Made in China!"

Why kill so many of one’s own population of serfs and nearly cripple their domestic economy?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#27. When you have about 1.3-1.5 Billion people to feed, knocking off a few hundred thousand of them is almost irrelevant. Knocking off tens of thousands of people in other countries, esp. those of the West and crippling their economies - PRICELESS.

I have a strong suspicion this wasn’t a finished product, that it was an imperfect prototype. It would be so easy as well to send a few volunteers to spread this virus in the United States. It could be almost untraceable that way.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I think the infected cell “explodes” with lots of copies of the virus inside, releasing them to the host.

"Another study published in Nature showed that SARS-CoV-2 exhibits greater similarity to Malayan pangolin coronaviruses in the receptor region, but exhibits greater similarity to RaTG13 in many other segments. The pangolin virus, however, is not the same as the human SARS-CoV 2-virus, but rather only a relative, just like RaTG13. The natural reservoir of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has yet to be identified."

The Pangolin looks like an Armadillo, and has been talked about alot the last couple of days...

This via TaiwanNews: Wuhan patients, crammed alive into body bags and taken to be burned.

Not only did Taiwan Health authorities try to notify WHO that there was human-to-human spread in December (I would guess Taiwan has excellent Intel sources in China), Taiwan also announced a travel ban from Wuhan on December 31st! They knew, but We listened to WHO, which should be renamed WET-HO (World Except Taiwan Health Organization).

[Crucial]

We should listen to Taiwan much more closely in the future if we have any sense.

I think quarantining China is our only option.
