Nature: Animal source of Covid still up in the air.

Bats were suggested because they have a strain that is 96% similar to the Chinese virus, but it turns out that 4% difference would represent 50 years of evolution.

Pangolins are known to carry coronaviruses similar to this, but all known strains are even more distant than the bats.

Snakes are ruled out also.

So the science is still out on this. Scientists want to make expeditions to China for sample gathering.

Are you trying to say this virus actually comes from illegal aliens?

I feel like that's where this is headed.

It was bears.

Ooooops

 

[Confucamus]

The alt-Lefties coordinated on their Discord to derail this thread real quick.

But as far as scientists making an expedition to find the true source of the Chinese Virus, not gonna happen. China will do their own "investigation" to find the source and they'll stick with it.

You know what else is up in the air? Bats.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised that China was manufacturing viruses on purpose. As technology and knowledge develops, the shit hostile countries can get up to just gets more and more scary. Also not surprised that they would fuck up and allow it to escape. At that point, why not lie and downplay the virus so that other countries get infected too? It's interesting to note that the leader of the WHO is from Ethiopia - a country which receives a shit ton of money from China.

I don't really have an opinion on it. We can't prove and we probably never will, it's in the "it's possible" category.

I’ll stick with the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention as the source.

They'll conclude what governor Cuomo concluded - it's in fact a European virus.

people making jokes about all of this need to do some soul searching....


theres literally not one thing funny about any of this plandemic....its sick and is chock full of massive glaring signs of how little control we have left over our lives...

when you laugh at something like this, youre laughing at yourself...at your friends...your family.....you all just got shown how much of slaves you are .....working 3-4 months out of the year for free and when they tell you to stand on a dot away from everyone else....you fucking hop to it...no questions asked..........and then have the gall to make stupid jokes about it all..........belittling your own ignorance and conformity ....

we all should be supremely pissed off right now and that theres still so many who think its all some big joke.......completely means that nothing is going to change, next time it will be even worse

England has the biggest bio weapon lab in the world.

This is sars-cov-2. They never found the source of sars-cov-1.

One theory is sars-cov-1 entered a different animal (pangolin is the latest speculation) then mutated and re-infected humans from there.

The problem is that they just don't know what happened and it is most likely a natural infection rather than any bad actors being involved.

Ooooops

This fucker was always suspect to me.

Why do you find that "most likely"?

So...Bats?

Literally all of the research that’s out there shows this is from a naturally occurring virus, stop listening to the giant orange man baby saying it’s from a Chinese lab.
But then again, to understand this is to have a basic understanding of science so I can believe why so many people think it’s a bio weapon.

Did Trump write this article in Nature?
