Yeah I’ve been refreshing the page daily but remained at 40, luckily a friend of a friend is a doctor and said he had space in his clinic, jumped at the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 A long read from the bulletin of the Atomic Scientists regarding the genesis of the pandemic. Worth your time if you are interested in a solid and fair article regarding the current understanding of things. https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/ "I’ll describe the two theories, explain why each is plausible, and then ask which provides the better explanation of the available facts. It’s important to note that so far there is no direct evidence for either theory. Each depends on a set of reasonable conjectures but so far lacks proof. So I have only clues, not conclusions, to offer. But those clues point in a specific direction. And having inferred that direction, I’m going to delineate some of the strands in this tangled skein of disaster." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped reading when it said that "the pandemic first broke out". This is someone so illiterate on the subject that it wasn't worth continuing. (Pandemics are declared, they do not "break out".) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is someone so illiterate on the subject that it wasn't worth continuing. (Pandemics are declared, they do not "break out".) Since when, e.g., 1918? and who declares this, the WHO nowadays. Anyway, there are at least 2 meanings for this, the technical manner in which you interpret it and the common usage. The word itself originates from long, long ago as do pandemics. Genesis itself, operates likewise and is commonly used to mean beginning or origin, and is certainly not restricted to the purvey of the sky fairy crowd. These issues with the language are of course a source of much frustration for the non-native speaker. Your point is pedantic, and your choice a conscious decision to not potentially inform yourself. That is of course, your right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
