Dr. Ian Lipkin: "We let the world down."
There is the vilification of those not reciting a creed, the media wurlitzer to propagate a party line from those whose stated intention is to protect "Science", defined as access to grants. Yes, many did let the world down.
This episode is the first I heard of a second coronavirus lab located close to the Wuhan market
"The WHO-China joint study on the origins of SARS-CoV-2 posted March 30, 2021, claimed that, in the Wuhan Huanan Seafood Market, “no evidence of the sale of live mammals was found in our visit — e.g., cages of the type used to house mammals like racoons …” (page 98 of the main report and page 122 of annex D4).
In striking contrast, it is now known that live mammals were in fact present in this ..."

What really went on in that Wuhan market - and the curious case of the raccoon dog.
It’s the early hours of 31 December 2019 and a cleaning squad is moving through the narrow lanes of a large, covered market in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The Huanan Seafood Market has been linked to a number of cases of a mysterious new illness circulating in the city, suggesting that animals there might be the source. ...

SARS like bat coronaviruses so they have antibodies to them because they've been exposed and infected and if one of those
19:08
individuals got infected the incubation periods 14 days they could have visited woo hyung and that could have caused the
19:14
outbreak so there's a couple different hypotheses floating around which what that mediated the start of the outbreak

"18:40
an equally plausible mechanism for the outbreak is that Chinese living in rural
18:47
areas in farming communities in close proximity to bat hibernacula could have been infected with a bat and the data
18:54
that supports that is that many Chinese that do live near the bat hibernacula actually have syrup converted to these

"The lab leak theory goes mainstream. How safe are top-security laboratories?"
"After the World Health Organization’s attempts to find the origin of Covid effectively rule out a lab leak, there’s a backlash. A new US president helps bring the lab leak theory into the mainstream. What are the dangers involved in the work being done in virology laboratories? How effective are their safety measures? And do the benefits of their work ..."
A World Health Organization team heads to Wuhan. Will they find the truth?
"As the first year of the Covid outbreak draws to a close, a team of international scientists chosen by the World Health Organization is preparing to visit the city where it all started to investigate the virus’s origin. But with the Chinese government closely involved in the mission, how free will they be to find the truth? And is a researcher ..."

Also why do journalists keep putting on air these lies being thrown at them by the foreign ministry spokesperson? It’s incredible how they lie lie lie and manage to keep a straight face. #chinacovid
Incredible #hypocrisy from the Chinese government calling for countries to drop negative testing on arrival for Chinese travellers… while still requiring negative PCR tests for all arrivals to China. #chinacovid “China retaliates against S.Korea, Japan COVID curbs” https://www.reuters.tv/v/sgRB/2023/01/10/china-retaliates-against-s-korea-japan-covid-curbs

How Bad Is China’s Covid Outbreak? It’s a Scientific Guessing Game.
In the absence of credible information from the Chinese government, researchers around the world are looking for any clues to determine the size and severity of the surge.

@GianniVernetti RT by @badiucao: La Cina si sta comportando oggi esattamente come nel dicembre del 2019 a Wuhan: nessuna comunicazione con l'OMS; nessun numero su morti e contagiati; impossibilita di conoscere l'evoluzione del virus. È un regime folle che mette nuovamente a rischio l'intero pianeta #ChinaCovid https://nitter.hongkongers.net/GianniVernetti/status/1607881347036774402#m
Anyone know offhand what the Chinese is for 'feasibly protect" in Xi's statement on Covid?
A sobering thread about Covid in China. TLDR: It's bad.
This more or less matches the anecdotal stuff I've been hearing, but still... damn.
