"I do think that this started as an accident," Sir Richard told the Telegraph, citing a peer-reviewed paper by Professor Angus Dalgleish of St George's Hospital at the University of London, and the Norwegian virologist Birger Sorensen.



6-1  Israeli geneticist, Dr Ronen Shemesh, who is working on treatment for COVID-19, said in his opinion the virus was more likely created in a laboratory than evolved naturally in nature.


“There are many reasons to believe that the COVID-19 generating SARS-CoV-2 was generated in a lab.  Most probably by methods of genetic engineering,” he said.

An unknown scientist in Israel, in his *opinion,* said that it was *likely* created, *most probably*.

Color me convinced.  Obviously this invalidates the staggering evidence against this theory.

In other news, I found a guy in Lichtenstein that believes Jonathan Taylor was most likely genetically engineered and escaped from a lab.

we are beginning to see an increase in cases probably due to protesting around the country

while the case count has increased the death count continues to decrease so maybe its not that bad

read an article yesterday that scientists think the virus may have mutated to a weaker version
Even if this is true, which is questionable, the original strain still exists.

Inevitably we will get mutations in the virus, although I read somewhere that coronavirus doesn't mutate as fast as the flu virus does.  Typically mutations are weaker than the original strain, but not always.  Hopefully a weaker strain offers protection against the original.  This would help build herd immunity, and possibly advance work on a vaccine.

Here is the article I mentioned above

would be nice if true

https://elemental.medium.com/could-the-coronavirus-be-weakening-as-it-spreads-928f2ad33f89
medium.com is basically a blog.  They are infamous for spreading misinformation because, well, you can post anything you want.

The article itself only talks about the experiences of two doctors in Italy that think maybe it isn't so bad as it was a two months ago.

Well, duh.  Italy has been under strict social distancing rules and there are way less cases now then there were two months ago.

I'm not saying that the virus hasn't mutated, but this article is ridiculous.

I don't think distancing would account for there being a smaller percentage of serious cases, if that is the case.  It could also relate to the newly infected being younger on average as the elderly take serious precautions.  The link didn't link for me.

Agreed. It’s a giant propaganda bs rag. Which is why I found it hilarious when Barack Obama posted an article there the other day about civil rights and fixing police brutality and CNN immediately has an orgasm.

The guy was in office for 8 years and didn’t do a god damn thing to even try to fix the problem when he actually had power. Anything he says should be laughed at.

The benevolent Nobel peace prize winner who took us from 2 wars to 7, destroyed Libya and turned it into a failed state where slavery auctions openly exist, armed ISIS/Al-Qaeda off-shoots, ran an illegal gun running scheme into Mexico, expanded the security state and state spying powers to levels W. could only wet dream of, ramped up drone strikes by something like 4,000%, had secret kill lists in order to kill people he deemed enemies of the state- with no due process- including a handful of American citizens- suspended habeaus corpus, cracked down on protesters in North Dakota & Occupy Wall Street, prosecuted more whistleblowers and journalists under the espionage act than every single previous president combined, and oh yeah let’s not forget was the deporter in chief.

I didn’t mean to be condescending.  

The article is ridiculou. It doesn’t even earn its “S”. Much like Rutger. 

In all seriousness, this quarantine is taking a toll on me. I’m turning into an old man yelling at clouds.

I have a conservative friend that thinks Obama was the best republican president ever. Haha

In other news, we were just out to the liquor store and Kroger.  We pass by a small shopping mall which in weeks past had nary a car in the lot, today it was full.  Kroger was very busy.  The liquor store had a line waiting to get inside, but we hit at a good time.  Traffic looked normal to me.  More than half the people wear masks, but it's not 80%.

The last two days have ticked up a bit in new cases.  The protests have been peaceful for a week now, no arrests made last night and the curfew apparently has been lifted.

We're "back to normal" nearly I'd opine, I imagine a lot of office workers are still WFH.

Our local farmer's market is back in the park, which was nice.

Lol. That’s probably true. Obama had more in common Reagan than FDR. He was basically a republican, even his healthcare plan was taken from a republican.

The virus may or may not becoming weaker but something is causing the down trending of deaths which cases are increasing

maybe after the full affect of the protesting happens this may not be the case who knows

The down trending of deaths may be due to the virus already killing most of those who were most at risk for death. The already sick and the old. 43% of COVID deaths in total nation wide were nursing home patients. The average age of a nursing home resident is 80. So, yeah.

The vast majority of people who come into contact with this virus are just fine- and something like 99.6% who are infected do not die. And most people have either no symptoms at all or they have minor symptoms and are better in a few days.

Most of the protestors are young. They probably won’t get sick but they might get old people around them sick. Probably might be for the best for the old to continue a quarantine.

Oh really it's out of the realm because you think so.You are known internationally in this field?.Jonah Salk,Pasture,Curie,were unkown once.These are the same so called people that were filmed  welding doors shut on their own citizens.If they had the means there is no doubt in my mind they'd find the way.I'm talking the CCP not the people
