Doctor who predicted coronavirus days before epidemic hit arrested in raid on home

Until we find the headline should rad, Doctor who engineered novel coronavirus and released it days before the epidemic hit? I’m not usually a conspiracy nut but this virus sounds to be a product of China’s war machine?

From what I've read, the local government arrested people who were trying to get the word out about this. The national government reversed those recently and praised those arrested.

Can't remember where I read that but it was a trusted source for me.

Standardmedia.co.ke ???

WTF is country code ke?



Oh, it's Kenya, the source of of all reliable media. It's right up there with Nigeria in terms of trustworthiness.





Nope. Not clicking that link.




EDIT: Ah, the Chinese govt arresting people to keep things hush-hush... OK, that's very plausible.

NYTimes covered the story 2 days ago.

Honestly right now I am having an issue trusting anything we are being told about the outbreak.

Pneumonia deaths from the flu and this disease are very close in appearance.

In Tennessee for example they have 14 school districts closed because of the flu,and 8 children have died.
https://fox17.com/news/local/more-t...ol-districts-closed-due-to-widespread-illness

Indiana has 7 schools closed because of flu and 31(total)deaths as of January 20th.

With only one lab in the entire country able to officially confirm Coronavirus(the cdc) how do we know?
California broke protocol. The cdc official guidelines tell of how to test for Coronavirus in 23 minutes,but at the end of that it states not to and to send all suspect samples to the cdc.Confirmed California cases where a state lab,and they specifically stated samples where also sent to the cdc(which did confirm their results).

Comments say that the Dr was later released, and that the Chinese government criticized the local police for arresting him. FWIW.

Do your best to prevent getting the flu...

I thought the Mueller Probe was over.

 

[Phase2]

New site for tracking spread and stats of Coronavirus. First I've seen it, but it appears to make it easy to monitor what is going on.

"The woman given the successful treatment was 70-years-old according to Reuters and 71-years-old according to the Bangkok Post. She had first been admitted to Hua Hin Hospital and then transferred to Rajavithi Hospital on Jan. 29. Her symptoms were severe, and she had tested positive for the virus for 10 days. But 48 hours after treatment, that changed."

What does this mean? More study required...

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3048772/striking-coronavirus-mutations-found-within-one-family-cluster

Chinese scientists say they have detected “striking” mutations in a new coronavirus
that may have occurred during transmission between family members.

While the effects of the mutations on the virus are not known, they do have the potential to alter the way the virus behaves.

If they really want to to quarantine this virus they should run Norton or McAfee.

Would not have worked cause ya did not pay the $79 for the yearly renewal.

Certain to inflame conspiracy theories, but sometimes there are conspiracies...

Most papers reported that the 2019-nCoV is only 88 percent related to the closest bat coronavirus, only 79 percent to SARS, and just 50 percent to MERS. Professor Roujian Lu from the China Key Laboratory of Biosafety, National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and his co-authors commented in a Jan. 30 paper in Lancet that “recombination is probably not the reason for emergence of this virus.”A Jan. 27 2020, study by 5 Greek scientists analyzed the genetic relationships of 2019-nCoV and found that “the new coronavirus provides a new lineage for almost half of its genome, with no close genetic relationships to other viruses within the subgenus of sarbecovirus,” and has an unusual middle segment never seen before in any coronavirus. All this indicates that 2019-nCoV is a brand new type of coronavirus. The study’s authors rejected the original hypothesis that 2019-nCoV originated from random natural mutations between different coronaviruses. (Paraskevis et al 2020 BioRxiv) The article is a preprint made available through bioRxiv and has not been peer-reviewed.
[h=2]Very High Genetic Identity in Patients Indicates a Recent Transmission to Human[/h]2019-nCoV is an RNA virus. RNA viruses have high natural mutation rates. The Lancet study by Lu et al. states: “As a typical RNA virus, the average evolutionary rate for coronaviruses is roughly 10-4 nucleotide substitutions per site per year, with mutations arising during every replication cycle. It is, therefore, striking that the sequences of 2019-nCoV from different patients described here were almost identical, with greater than 99.9% sequence identity. This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV originated from one source within a very short period and detected relatively rapidly.”
A Jan. 31 article by Jon Cohen in Science said: “The longer a virus circulates in a human population, the more time it has to develop mutations that differentiate strains in infected people, and given that the 2019-nCoV sequences analyzed to date differ from each other by seven nucleotides at most, this suggests it jumped into humans very recently. But it remains a mystery which animal spread the virus to humans.”

Maybe the ChiComs were able to sequence 2019-nCoV's genome so quickly because they already had the recipe?

This virus is an escaped or released bio weapon. It was stolen from the Canadian lab and released in Wuhan. This did not come from a market. The WHO is aware of the virus. This story line keeps popping up too much for some truth not to be there. Possibly dead on as to what happened.

https://greatgameindia.com/dr-franc...ays-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/

do not believe all of what you are being told about the virus.

IMO Tom Baker was the best Dr. David Tennant a close 2nd
