China are a disgrace wouldn't surprise me if they're one of them, hope everyone puts sanctions on that lot when this pandemic is under control

I'm an oldie, so I still reckon all this 'sensitive and secret data' would be much safer in a file, in a filing cabinet, and in a locked building!

Patrolled by a 'cocky watchman' with his sandwiches and thermos flask under his arm.

:coffee:
 
51 years old so I’ll probably be getting the call sooner rather than later, no problem with having the jab.
The most disturbing thing that seems to have emerged from the last six months is all the sneering at anyone who has a different opinion than their own,Just my tuppence worth.
....apparently the only side effect of the vaccine is it gives you an extra 3 inches, there you go Boris sorted it out for you just pop a cheque in the post.
 
They have control over eating said bats.
The fact that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 derived from bat coronaviruses highlights inherent issues of the way we interact with the environment. Talha Burki reports.
Researchers examining coronaviruses and bats are used to working with large numbers. A 2017 study of 12 333 bats from Latin America, Africa, and Asia found that almost 9% carried at least one of 91 distinct coronaviruses. The authors estimated that there are at least 3200 coronaviruses that infect bats. Moreover, there are over 1400 species of bat. Figuring out which ones are susceptible to which coronaviruses is no small task. Bats are incredibly varied and successful creatures. In evolutionary terms, fruit-eating bats diverged from insect-eating bats some 50 million years ago.



Again, there has been nothing proven that "bat eating" caused this virus.

There are studies happening all over the world involving bats.

The reason we have a vaccine so quickly is down to the bat studies that were increased after the first SARS virus outbreak.

Educate yourself rather than just being Trump please.
 
Yeah, they totally have control over when a virus jumps from a bat.

I am not comfortable with folk lobbing blame, as such, at China. It can kinda be a deflection of their own crapness. (Trump).

But this aint the first. Its the worst, but not the first, that has originated from that part of the world, so I would quite like them to try to stop them happening, if thats ok with them.

What's Trump got to do with this? I think if you're saying it's wrong to assume it started from a wet market then it's also wrong for you to say it didn't since neither of us know the answer.
 
The Gruniad is reporting that China, Russia, North Korea and Iraq, are actively attempting to hack into the proposed vaccine technologies.
Good.

We might be able to get hold of them on Amazon soon....quicker than our ballbags will get the out to us, that's for sure.

As I said RayRay, China told the World on 31st December 2019 that they had discovered a deadly virus.

We just laughed and allowed 500k people to attend Cheltenham.
