Thank you for your summary. I don’t want to try to alarm you any further, but another thing I suspect – which also happened in Wuhan during the initial outbreak – is that it’s already much worse than what they’re admitting right now.
As a side note, I think the ~~Anti~~ Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov can start removing some letters from the facade of their building.
They could replace them with "Trump."
Yes it makes no sense but it will once the Plague takes out 80% of the MAGA antimask antivaxxers.
And he'd love it. As long as you use gold letters
Put Trump's name on it.
Wuhan also had the countries largest wet markets where wild animals are gathered from hundreds of square kilometers and placed in cages to shit and piss on top of each other. This is where SARs/COV1 was proven to originate, and the reason why Wuhan had a research facility in the first place.
The rest is all Facebook/MAGA bullshit. China's fault lied in not regulating wet markets, which they still don't do, so the next SARs/COV will again come from China.
Please read the sentence again more carefully. I’m not talking about the lab leak theory. I’m talking about the fact that the Chinese authorities knew about the outbreak with an unknown respiratory virus for a long time and decided not to inform the WHO until the cat – or the bat, if you will – was already out of the bag and across the planet.
That has nothing to do with FB / MAGA conspiracy theories. It’s the official position of the WHO and US Congress. In fact, the Chinese didn’t even inform the WHO. The WHO had to find out through unofficial back channels and had to ask the Chinese government for verification themselves.
Patient 0 got sick on the 1st of December. And later the first known case was traced back to the 17th of November.^2^
Unknown vs known. She died fast. Other places report no new cases. People in Irkutsk say they lifted the quarantine. More to be investigated and need close look. As for now the situation is fine
The situation is definitely not fine
Yes, that is what the Russians are telling everyone. Sorry, I’m not keeping my hopes up for Russian officials telling the truth. They knew what happened, they knew what she had, antibiotic treatment for it is widely available and they could have started them right away. Yet she died.
I don’t know the details of the experiments that were going on but if it is a resistant strain that would be very worrying indeed. It’s way too early to say everything is fine before we really know what happened. Only time will tell.
