Hi!

What We Know and Don’t Know About the Origins of Covid

By the time Chinese researchers arrived to collect samples from the Huanan market, the police had shut down and disinfected the market because a number of people linked to it had become sick with what would later be recognized as Covid. No live market animals were left.

Some scientists also believe that China has provided an incomplete picture of early Covid cases. And they worry that a directive to hospitals early in the outbreak to report illnesses specifically linked to the market may have led doctors to overlook other cases with no such ties, creating a biased snapshot of the spread.

 

I have always been and still am firmly in the market camp.
I have no evidence. I have no expertise.
I did see pictures from the market in the early days.
I know if you eat bats and crap that have been skinned and laying out on a table all day, your ass is going to get sick.

 

I have no idea if the virus came from a market or a lab. From what I've read, both theories are plausible.

The problem is there was a solid 1 to 2 years where a big chunk of the media and U.S. government labeled anyone who believed the lab theory just short of domestic terrorists. It was basically on the same level as QAnon. Looking back, that was pretty fucked up.

 

There is some next level parenting going on at Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest Cam on YouTube right fucking now.

She's covered in snow as it comes down on the nest, eggs beneath her.

I'm still fucking sick and have had to cancel all kinds of commitments coming up later this week because I made no progress today.

SKOAL!

 

Only you can prevent Fox News segments.

 

That would be a cool black light poster.

I had a fuckload in my room as a kid.

 

The Post, a right-wing rag, follows up on the WSJ's reporting

The labs were established as part of the U.S. nuclear weapons program and operate largely in the classified realm. The department’s cadre of technical experts includes members of the Energy Department’s Z-Division, which since the 1960s has been involved in secretive investigations of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons threats by U.S. adversaries, including China and Russia.

Neither of the leading theories — a natural spillover or a lab leak — have been conclusively validated, in part because of China’s refusal to allow independent investigators access to environmental samples and other raw data from the earliest weeks of the outbreak.

 

Bottom line? No one knows for certain. I'm in camp market, but the Chinese hid so much data that we're unlikely to ever know.

 

Nobody reported on it?

Nate should subscribe to a newspaper or a magazine.
