I always liked the threads original title.
Maybe it should now be reinstated.

“The Chinese Fru” ?.....

Just asking out loud here

Why is it racist to not blame China for covid-19?

17 years ago Sara cov 1 started in China from bats apparantly.

Now sars cov 2 has started in China from bats apparantly.

But anyone who blames China is racist.

Because why blame China and not bats?

The bats in China carry loads of viruses but their immune system allows them to without it being deadly.

Sometimes those viruses mutate as they are transmitted across species.

Haven't we learned this week that there was a case in France before any had been identified in China?

The case in France came via the retrospective testing of blood that from what was originally thought to be a pneumonia patient dated 27th Dec 21.12.19.

Four days later the CCP announced the presence of the virus in China.

So either the the virus originated in France or the Chinese have been caught bang to rights telling porkies.

The first case in China was subsequently identified as coming to notice on November 17:

First Covid-19 case happened in November, China government records show - report

Earliest case detected on 17 November, weeks before authorities acknowledged new virus, says Chinese media

How do you blame a landmass?

Same type of virus apparantly started the same way in the same country.

Haven't we learned this week that there was a case in France before any had been identified in China?

Unless you are suggesting one person got it and died in France and it then jumped to Wuhan and became an outbreak?

It can't have been anywhere before Wuhan. Otherwise we would have had pandemic months ago , yet we didnt have a pandemic then?

There are bats all over the world.

Funny that only the bats residing in China (that they eat) are the ones transmitting pandemic viruses.....

Not officially reported at that time though.

The point I`m trying to make is that it`s more than likely been in Europe for many more weeks than initially thought.

I only posted it the one before you, but maybe have a read Joe.

How we count the number of Covid-19 deaths matters - LSE Business Review

The number of Covid-19 deaths by country is widely used by governments and the media as a vital measure of the pandemic. A typical example is the slide below used for many weeks at the daily UK government briefings. Figure 1. Global death comparison (UK government's cabinet office briefing rooms...

Numbers and their presentation. If we changed the excess deaths into excess/million we would get another view, but the issue of who we count and how we count will not go away.The numbers just for the U.K. alone have undertaken several changes to end up where they are, comparisons are adding little value to how we beat this thing......

Look up the 'flu' deaths this winter in Australia. It's also no coincidence that the authorities are trying to bury the fact that the French guy was a fan of Neighbours. It's all there if you just want to look.

None of the preceding 1948 pages have changed how I've personally behaved during the last 3 months tbh

Study reveals that a very small part of the Czech population is infected with COVID-19 - Prague, Czech Republic

A newly released study has found that the percentage of positive cases in Prague, Brno, and Litomerice, north Bohemia is under 0.6 percent

news.expats.cz

Interesting stuff. The Czechs recently did a population study to see how many people had CV in the country. Of the 26,549 people tested, just 107 came back. A percentage of 0.6%. The tests were done in Prague, Brno and Litermerice, all of which had reasonable outbreaks. Kinda suggests their small numbers of deaths were less because it didn't spread than it didn't enter the country to begin with. Also suggests, of course, that they don't have much 'herd immunity' built up so what will happen when they open their borders more...

This comes up week after week after week doesnt it?

I guess, in time, truth will out, but fwiw, I am a fully paid up member of reckon it was.
