Perhaps..or they may have just got lucky and escaped an epidemic, plenty of places in Eastern Europe for example never had any widespread outbreaks. To be fair, most African countries are implementing very severe lockdowns

As of 28th April they were testing 3000 per day.

Not exactly fantastic numbers for a country of 196 million!

I remember when I was small going to mass in a field. I think it happened once a year or something. I definitely remember going to mass in a field.

Heres a business opportunity for a field pub.

I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, but I'm leaning towards the Wuhan lab theory tbh. It seems far too much of a coincidence that this major virus just 'happened' to come from the city with China's largest virus laboratory. Their refusal to accept WHO investigating teams also feeds this theory. It's completely plausible.

When I brought up this coincidence near the start I was hopped on.

It's literally a thousand feet from what China describes as the source...



So yeah, it doesn't look great

But...Wuhan Center for Disease Releases doesn't exist on Google Maps

I think that map is a fake. I looked up Google maps and the Wuhan lab is well outside the city centre.

The map is certainly wrong, as they are just over 7km apart. Still relatively close but not close enough for conspiracy theories.

The virus coming out of the lab in Wuhan scenario seems to be gathering a lot of traction now among the media. Was discussed extensively last night on CNN for a time. Could China have outright lied to the world about the origin of this thing?

I am really surprised that so many people give credence to Trump's efforts at distraction from his woeful handling of the pandemic in the USA.

USA 4.25% of the world's population.

USA 1,160,838 cases, approx 32% of the world's reported cases.

USA 67,448 deaths, approx 25% of the world's reported deaths.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. It doesn't absolve him of blame but it needs to be properly investigated irregardless.

Different lab?


There are two in Wuhan. A level 2 Centre for Disease and Control which was dealing in bat coronavirus and is about 4 miles as the bat, err crow flies. And the Wuhan Institute of Virology which is a little over twice that distance.

So the closest is more than twenty times further away than the map shows and the other forty to fifty times further away?

I think it's time for wikipedia type citations as there are so many different sides pushing their own agenda.

American intelligence service issue a statement https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/item/2112-intelligence-community-statement-on-origins-of-covid-19 saying "The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified." and that they "will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

While Trump publicly says he has proof that it came from the virology lab in Wuhan but can't tell the same public anything about that proof.

I have a bridge I'd like to sell to Trump but I can't show it to him or tell him anything about it, but believe me it's the bigliest, bestest bridge ever, tremendous...

New figures show more than 2,000 patients admitted to intensive care with Covid-19 suffered kidney failure (20% of UK ICU admissions.

They all needed specialist renal treatment to keep them alive.

There is now a shortage of renal dialysis machines emerging in the UK.

This virus keeps throwing up nasty surprises.

There was an interesting interview on France 24 Last night there was a French and an English medical consultants been interviewed about links of other medical problem been contacted to covid 19 .
Both were of the opinion that the medical ailments are more likely to be preexisting problems just been highlighted and made worse because people's immune systems are under such pressure fighting the virus.
