Do you remember covid and where it come from?


A disease can come from anywhere

Unless you're trying to imply that China engineered the whole thing - extraordinary claim that will require extraordinary evidence


Imagine you have most expensive disease in human history by economy standpoint and after 6 years we have just claims of where it came from. Isn't that suspicious enough?


Where did Spanish Flu "come from"? Or HIV for that matter.

We've got a fair idea where SARS-CoV-2 originated (horseshoe bats). It's the early path it took that's muddy.


There was no worldwide lockdowns because of HIV or Spanish Flu.


I should make my point more explicit so you can't misunderstand it.

> after 6 years we have just claims of where it came from. Isn't that suspicious enough?

No it is not suspicious, because most zoonotic pandemics have murky origins - spillover events are rarely identified at anything better than the species level. For evidence I point to everything on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics_and_pandemic... (starting with the bottom of the list, in case you come back with irrelevant comments about Roman technological progress).


Turn off Fox news


/US centrist

Never turned on and probably never will.


> US centrist

I only see conservative (putting it very very mildly) in your comments.


I see labeling and unability to stick on topic.


Inability. Inability to stay on topic.

You're at least an American. That checks out.


They did downplay the effects of covid and spread misinformation about it as well as silence the researches and journalists who were first trying to ring the alarm bells


My country did the same thing to me. :-/


My very western country as well.


Are you talking about Trump and conservatives here?


Nope[1]. I am getting tired of people looking up to China just because the governments of Europe and US are completely fucked. China is no better.

Tulsi said US operates lot of biolabs outside US so as to avoid US regulations.


Yes, I remember: "Vector" BSL4 Lab, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation, Sep 16 2019. Fire blast, then unequipped military first responders which stole lab equipment, then joint military training with Wuhan military police few weeks later.

China was the first victim of the Russian virus.
