How many times did @AirVol post that video of Michelle dancing on Ellen where she supposedly had a wang? But hell hath no fury like volnation aghast at a pun on Barron's name.

It is what it is on here. You get chastised for making fun of the board's favorite at the moment (which can turn on a dime, look at freshly adorned Comrade Lee). But otherwise, say whatever in the hell you want about those durty librulz.

Way back earlier in this thread, possibly Jan, i posted an article where research showed several early patients had no contact with that market or anyone in it. The original case had nothing to do with that market or anyone that went there.

Really hard to say. How good was the contact tracing? Now some are saying it can be transferred through aerosols by just breathing and talking.

Yet some of our leaders in Washington still speak about the wet market as the presumed point of origin.

No excuse for not keeping them closed forever, but China needs their feet held to the fire.

More evidence points to coronavirus originating from laboratory in Wuhan, not 'wet market'

The head of the NIH has skin in this game as far as stating he believes it's not engineered. Grants and research funding say hello.

I got blasted for posting Reagan asking in 1980 whether you're better off now than you were 4 years ago, which has long been considered a touchstone question that people ask when considering an incumbent.

I thought they closed the massage parlors.

Nope he still gives the best Happy Endings at a reduced price

I don't pretend to be an expert/epidemiologist but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelmingly pointing at that biohazard lab a block from the wet market.

Or don't they teach that in top 5 law schools?

Dr Fauci not on again so it’s another waste of time. But I don’t need to watch because I know what Pompous Maximus is going to say no matter what the question is: “We’re doing the greatest job anybody has ever seen. Or—Nobody could do it better. Or—I’ve given you perfect answers.” Am I right? Also, told you last week that 50% approval rating wouldn’t last. That has sunk back to normal levels now at around 40% and going down. He’s back in his lane.

Great. Not only are you a sexist (dismissing Dr. Birx's opinions because she is a female), but you are also a racist (dismissing the opinions of Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams because he is black). Only an old white man's knowledge will suffice for you liberals.

My grandmother is Making mask for hospitals. She turns 80 in May. She has made at least 15 mask since Monday.

She is a badass. Also makes the best sweet biscuits and chocolate gravy you have ever had.

Tell her she is appreciated.... Can she ship biscuits and chocolate gravy?

What's that overwhelming evidence you're pointing at?

Not gonna lie, you probably should have kept that one in your quiver for later.

I've always thought that somebody slipped some test animals out of the lab and sold them for food.

BS. In the context of this pandemic, which is so illogical to the value of Reagan's statement.

 

[RavinDave]

The type of bat believed to have hosted the virus before it jumped to humans is not sold in that market.

But the bio-research lab had been using them in their research.

Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally

As confirmed cases of a novel virus surge around the world with worrisome speed, all eyes have so far focused on a seafood market in Wuhan, China, as the origin of the outbreak. But a description of the first clinical cases published in The Lancet on Friday challenges that hypothesis.

The paper, written by a large group of Chinese researchers from several institutions, offers details about the first 41 hospitalized patients who had confirmed infections with what has been dubbed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). In the earliest case, the patient became ill on 1 December 2019 and had no reported link to the seafood market, the authors report. “No epidemiological link was found between the first patient and later cases,” they state. Their data also show that, in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace. “That’s a big number, 13, with no link,” says Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University.

Lucey says if the new data are accurate, the first human infections must have occurred in November 2019—if not earlier—because there is an incubation time between infection and symptoms surfacing. If so, the virus possibly spread silently between people in Wuhan—and perhaps elsewhere—before the cluster of cases from the city’s now-infamous Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market was discovered in late December. “The virus came into that marketplace before it came out of that marketplace,” Lucey asserts.

I’m not real sure the opinions of a congressman from Memphis that decided eating a cold bucket of KFC for the cameras during a house judiciary meeting was a good idea , matters to me that much .

So I saw some of the conditions CDC I suggesting in order for a city to return to “normal”. One includes no new cases for two weeks. If that is truly mandated you can kiss the economy goodbye. Zero cases in a country of 330M is ridiculous. This could linger for months as holed up people come in contact with asymptomatic folks at the end of their illness. Short of bringing the army into the streets and imposing curfews I don’t see this happening without us being confined for a really long time. How this is possibly better than the virus I don’t know.

That's one likelihood; animals after outliving their usefulness in the lab still have a value as meat over there.

Another is a lab worker who got infected and carried it to the wet market.

But remember "no evidence of X" does not entail "evidence of not-X"

Ironically it can live on toilet paper for decades.
