Wuhan, China Corona Virus 2020

Re: Wuhan, China Corona Virus 2020
WiseOne, all this is way above my pay grade, but wouldn't it be a simple thing to determine, as a matter of statistical probability, whether the gene sequence is the result of random mutations or whether it is engineered? I'm not advancing any particular theory, but I am wondering why we don't have a definitive answer to this question.

The guy who created it couldn’t resist embedding “Boris was here” in the code.

Out of my area too, except that I know people are working on sequencing this virus as we speak.Maddy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 11:22 amWiseOne, all this is way above my pay grade, but wouldn't it be a simple thing to determine, as a matter of statistical probability, whether the gene sequence is the result of random mutations or whether it is engineered?

Virus must be cured. Gold smashed and stocks on a tear. Or maybe Tesla is driving the whole market up.

About as accurate as “everything starts in China” on the previous page.
The market is resilient.

Re: Wuhan, China Corona Virus 2020
David Quammen was on the radio talking about viruses including SARS.
He explained that cave-dwelling horseshoe bats were brought to "wet markets" in China, where the hygiene is not so good, and eating wild animals is still a fad. One example of the bad hygiene: animals are butchered on plywood sheets.
The bats infected palm civets, which are cute little mammals in the same suborder as the mongoose. Subsequently, the SARS virus jumped from civets to humans.
Ebola is from Africa.
Hantavirus originated, I think, on Indian reservations in North America (but South Korea before that).
But, bats, which can carry viruses without dying + poor hygiene in bushmeat markets may explain why there is a second epidemic coming out of China.

"But the WHO and CDC are covering up this inconvenient fact in order to protect communist China"
Dammit, does everything in this world have to be a potential conspiracy with two sides. Can't we just all settle on one truth when something this bad is happening?
Meanwhile stock futures are green again. Like 90% of supply chains and goods aren't going to be severely impacted. Hell, we already can't get parts to build our PCBs where I work and we have small volumes compared to consumer electronics.

Re: Wuhan, China Corona Virus 2020
China won't let the WHO* or CDC help, because admitting that they need outside help would make the Party look weak.
It's disgusting.
