Coronavirus outbreak

[Ming the Merciless]

The irony that it's taken a deadly respiratory disease to being down deadly air pollution levels.
Just as many can benefit from latter they are prevented by the former.
Hopefully more will start to question how we keep them down once this is over.

There has been an analysis of air pollution and deaths in Italy. There is a very strong evidence that an increase of just 1 part per million of PM25 increases mortality by 12-15%. Don’t have a link to hand as I read it one or two days ago, but it was a research paper I found under the many appearing under Covid19 on the sites such as research gate etc.

There is a theory that Covid 19 escaped from a lab in Wuhan. I have only seen it espoused on an anti-China channel on YouTube and Sky Australia, which is much more right wing than Sky UK. However, a Chinese lab placed an advert for a virus specialist to work on a Coronavirus. So, they were experimenting or studying Coronavirus in the city where the contagion broke out. It has been assumed that the virus jumped species in one of Wuhan's exotic animal meat markets, but Sky reported a witness say she'd never seen any bats sold there.

But maybe Pangolins which had caught it from bats?

Correct

I've eaten thousands of meals in mainland China in some weird and wonderful places and I've eaten some proper weird stuff. But I've never seen bats eaten in China, ever

They are eaten in Palau in Micronesia and people who visit there, amongst whom are Chinese, post videos of the soup. This is where the idea of "Chinese eating bats caused Coronavirus" came from. It's nonsense

Yea, I heard David Icke caught it from his phone and coughed on Chairman Mao on his way to the chippy.

Really - you might want to tell the chancellor that - he's just been on TV saying more or less the opposite.

There is no chance of the lockdown being lifted early - Matt Hancock.

Whether the numbers are showing a positive reaction, and whether the incompetents in charge react, are 2 different issues.

Same old questions from Laura Kuenssberg et al.

So many of their questions seem designed to set elephant traps or try to commit the spokespeople into giving hostages to fortune - and in doing that the journos seem to be striving to out do each other.

Well I never! I didn't know they played cricket.

I'm not going to read that link, but I would challenge you on two things:

(i) the figures showing a positive reaction - I'm not sure you can say that - we've had the worst death figures (938) today, plus, given the ramping up of testing, it's really hard to make comparisons as the baseline of those tested positive keeps changing.
(ii) Whitty, Vallance and their teams are as good as you can get - incompetent they are not.

But apart from that I agree with you.

I think there are two virus labs in Wuhan. One was not far from their wet market.

There are plenty of corona viruses circulating in the natural world and one has mutated. It hasn't leaked from a lab. Sky and Youtube should be ashamed of putting those out.

If you don’t read the link, you can’t comment correctly ( you haven’t).
