    What will be the narrative then?
    The narrative ought to be that those states didn't purposely infect their fucking nursing homes. That's why their death rates will never be that high. Virtually all of the deaths are coming from a tiny fraction of the population. NYC, Jersey, CT, and a few others have driven the nation's death rate up way higher than it should have been. As Rip said, I hope there is a hell for these governors and bureaucrats to rot in. Prison isn't nearly enough for these worthless pieces of shit.

    Such bullshit. You don't "run a research group." No fucking way. You probably don't even have a science degree. You don't understand that actual research scientists post on this board, and they are laughing at you. Stop playing on the internet.

    Isolated then "cultured", researched, and proliferated inside a lab ? sure thing.

    And then accidentally got out? Sure
    But no explanation.

    I watched the Joe Rogan Experience episode with Bret Weinstein where the good doctor discussed the RNA that was altered and why. I have found no corroboration for this, but it's not exactly surprising given the state of what information gets to go where. Essentially, the virus was altered in such a way to make it highly infectious within humans, and it would not have otherwise developed that at the same time it developed the capacity to cross species. That is also propagates well inside buildings and is very susceptible to UV radiation likely are from its evolution within the lab environment. These two factors likely artificially "solved" the evolutionary problems it needed to overcome to be as wide-spread as it is.

    The reason why it's probably being suppressed is that this is (per Dr. Weinstein) common practice in virology all over the world. Imagine the public backlash for THAT...

    I spend the vast bulk of my time in the lab trying to do experiments which don't work, being annoyed about it, and drinking too much coffee. I have failed you alsbos, and I am sorry.

    Explain what?

    China has had a few scares and real problem with viruses over the years.
    The were studying bats and bat viruses and trying to learn about them.
    It got out, apparently in their own country (first) apparently.
    The WHO didn't send their team into Italy, or NYC first.
    China is embarrassed about it.

    Mark, do you think its a Bill Gates deep-state thing, or China's (intentional) way to level the global playing field or something?
    Kill off their older population they can't afford and upset the world-economic apple cart at the same time.
    None of this is working is very well.
    No country wants a part in this.

    “Vast bulk” is boasting.

    As if “bulk” isn’t enough. It is vast. Like Elon Musk’s work week. But that’s engineering. Apparently Jordan-the-sipping-scientist takes more coffee breaks than Musk. So a mere “bulk” it should be.

    Totally tangentially, I sometimes get insulted at work for doing (or wanting to do) science when engineering is expected: “this isn’t a damn science experiment!”

    David, what is 'it' in this sentence? The virus? I'm just a bit unclear on what you're conveying here in this sentence. Thanks.

    Have you not read enough of this thread to know that everything I post is intended as a topic of discussion? Let me suggest that if you disagree with the gentlemen, that you do a bit of actual work to show us why instead of merely expressing your opinion about me having posted it.

    I don't know, fulcrum. I have not said that I do know. All I know is that this is not about masks or a virus, and that government power has never once in the history of the world expanded worldwide to the extent it has over the past 4 months.

    Small update...the state of Virginia has shut down fall sports....VHSL: No high school football in Virginia this fall

    There are going to be so many lower income kids that are going to get in a lot of trouble, simply because they won't have the structure of football in their lives. This is a terrible decision.
