Raise your hand if you didn’t know it leaked from a lab.

By the way Bejing reacted, it was a pretty good guess that they were freaking out.

Now how much bigger of a problem is this going to turn into? And how is this going to affect how the world regards/treats China?

Sens Rubio, Scott and Cotton have hinted at this.

Buh... buh... the media yells “DEBUNKED !” every time this comes up.

Lived in CT for a number of years. During that period Lyme's disease carried by ticks emerged in Lyme, CT which is close
by Plum Island where the US gov’t experiments with anthrax & other deadly diseases. The distance direct line from Old Lyme, CT to Plum Island, NY at the very eastern end of Long Island
is maybe 12-14 miles ... across the eastern end of LI Sound.
It was rumored experiments were being carried out on Plum Island testing methods of spreading disease with ticks. Ticks escaped and made their way to CT on birds. It is well established that tick born diseases were not that prevalent in New England until Lyme disease became a major issue.

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.

Maybe Prof Charles Lieber, chairman of the Harvard chemistry department knows the answer.

Well of course it came from the laboratory. Not so sure about the “leak” part, though.

I think everyone believes that it leaked from Wuhan bio weapons lab (or it was set free on purpose). Is it “flu”? They call it just coronavirus. Very few facts and statistics, just hype and panic. For example, how deadly is it? Percentage of those who get it and those who die? Do they die due to lack of diagnosis? Lack of treatment? Or are people in treatment likely to recover, or die?

A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

...

What kind of lab?

A university lab that does medical research or a lab that tests patient samples? Maybe both.

No opinion...just interesting information...especially the podcast.

Wuhan is epicenter of the outbreak.
Wuhan has a BSL-4 lab working with just kind of virus.

Occam’s Razor.
