* A different but still deadly coronavirus appeared back in 2013 and was sent to a virus research lab in Wuhan, China, for study.
* The virus, which was not the same as the virus that causes COVID-19, infected six people and kill three of them.
* Researchers say the two viruses followed different evolutionary paths that could stretch back decades.

Samples of a deadly virus were sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology roughly seven years ago. The virus was a strain of coronavirus that is thought to have originated in bat feces in an abandoned mine in China. Of the six people who were exposed to it, three of them died from pneumonia-like symptoms.
On this surface, this sounds super suspicious, but as researchers have revealed, the coronavirus isn’t the same one that ultimately caused the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. As originally reported by the Sunday Times, the virus that was supposedly sent to the Wuhan facility was 96.2% similar to the novel coronavirus we’re currently dealing with.
Now, a 96.2% similarity might sound very close, but it actually makes the two viruses dramatically different. A research paper published in February comparing the virus labeled RaTG13 to the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 suggests that while the two are similar, the differences between the two were likely the result of decades of independent evolution, meaning that there’s almost certainly no connection between the virus from 2013 and COVID-19.
Conspiracy theorists can easily make pretty convincing cases for their arguments by comparing timelines and suggesting that COVID-19 was created in a lab. However, they ignore the facts of nature which roundly discredit any argument that suggests COVID-19 is a manmade crisis.

The SARS virus was also a coronavirus, after all, and scientists know of several other strains of coronavirus that either never produced a human pandemic or never made the jump from animals to humans in the first place. It’s long been suspected that COVID-19 originated from bats or other animals in China, but that investigation is still ongoing, and it’s possible the virus came from a different species, like a pangolin.
The most interesting thing about all of this is the fact that ANOTHER Coronavirus strain was already killing people as far back as 2013 but was somehow contained to just six people.
Three of those people died as a result of their infection, and we don’t know just how deadly the virus was (or is) on a large scale, but it seems we dodged a bullet seven years ago and didn’t even realize it.
I posted a very complicated hard to understand just about any of it article from a virologist weeks and weeks ago
I dont remember the name of the guy or how to find it
I think he might have been russian
one thing he pointed out that the reliance on Rat13 is coming from the very person involved in the latest outbreak...the bat lady
so not exactly trustworthy
i will see if i can find that article
MY wife had a bad lung infection Late 2018 to early 2019. Went to multiple doctors and hospitals and everyone gave a different diagnosis.
Same exact symptoms of covid.
She was 125 lbs and incredibly fit.
Her lung function is nowhere back to normal. Every little chore and she gets very winded . Almost like copd but she ahs never smoked.
Remember, there are many strains of coronavirus.
The one we are dealing with today is a new virus genetically from any other coronavirus.
You have to think of them like cars:
You have to generic Car.
Then you have the company.
Then you have the model.
And finally, the model-year.
Think Ford, Mustang, 1966.
In this instance you have a Virus.
Then you have a coronavirus.
Then you have the SARs 2 Cornonavirus
Model year, 2019.
cant find it
if anyone remembers that article it was interesting
it goes into quite a bit of scientific detail
the author was looking at whether the virus could be man made.
How many bad articles are people going to write on this subject.
My brother is in a similar situation. He is a competitive tennis player and feels that he had COVID back in Feb. Lung function seems to have been impacted. He recently entered his first tournament in months and could only play 1 hour. Just couldn’t catch his breath enough to go on. He figures his tournament playing days are over. I told him to go to a doctor and at least get tested for antibodies or other potential causes. He’s holding back because he doesn’t like doctors.
this isnt the article but it does talk about the issue of ratg13 and batlady
not advocating the use of this and even if it is medically safe
BUT
someone here got covid and used a nebulizer and this:

and was able to knock it out fast...might help with your brothers issue..or might make it worse..who knows
RE: How many bad articles are people going to write on this subject.
Can you elaborate as to why this is a bad article?

I wonder of that one got into “the wild.”
I had something in 2013 or thereabouts that was NAS-T!
The cough was so bad people would ask me if I was going to be OK.
It lasted a full two weeks and then tapered off over the next two to three weeks.
I haven’t had anything resembling a flu since.
Not one day.
