Record number of infant mortalities as Hernan plays one of his signature 8 hour sunrise sets. Jeff Mills asks how much longer must the atrocities continue.
The General Covid19 Thread
What has killed more people, Covid or boredom from hearing Hernan Cattaneo over the years?
Serious question.
Apart from the long term goal of global supremacy, what are China’s short to mid term goals from unleashing covid on the world, any decent theories?
They seemed to have coped pretty well on the face of it but is the correlation between weakened western economies making the Chinese economy stronger that straightforward? Obviously they have a much more expendable and abundant populous, which will no doubt be used to hide the official impact of covid, but could the plan backfire?
It was an accident. I do not believe it was deliberate. But I m open minded about whether it came from a lab.

Accidentally got out of the lab and they kept it a secret for far too long out of national pride.
So absolutely no malice or criminal intentions, it just accidentally got out of the lab?
That is my firm belief, yes.

Hursty I’m with you in not entirely ruling out malice; the whole thing has worked out too well for them. Plus what a coincidence it generally seems less lethal to East-Asian people than westerners?
If they’d been researching these types of viruses in a lab then it’s not impossible they found one which they realised would damage their rivals far more than themselves.
I think it is far more likely that they just lied about their death toll. Its a massive gamble to release something like this on purpose and assume it will workout in your favor.
Massive gamble for sure, the official stats are so unbelievable for the size of population so who knows what is really going on there.
Are investigators being allowed back in yet?

zackster I think it is far more likely that they just lied about their death toll.
Yet neighbouring countries like Japan and South Korea have also had much lower death tolls than the west.
A significant part of it will have been obesity, but there could also be some chance genetic factors for example which we don’t yet know about.

For sure it would have been a massive gamble, but when you see what the Chinese do in cases like the Uighyurs I don’t think it’s impossible to imagine them even running tests on their own people, say other prisoners, to see what differing effects various viruses might have.

hugopal i will say this: I think it is far more likely that they released it deliberately, as some sort of evil plot, than it is that it came about organically from some dude eating a bat. I am no virologist, clearly, but it seems crazy to think that a virus that spreads this easily while becoming more fatal is the result of nature as opposed to gain of function bio engineering.
Think the research by leading scientists in the States has already ruled out the bat theory, most likely transferred between 2 or 3 species but prob started with a bat, the wet market was ruled out late last year.
I do enjoy the “its a coincidence!” approach to the whole “isn’t it odd that the Wuhan Lab for Respiratory Infectious Diseases is in the same city as the outbreak?” line of thought.
