Who did HRH Prince Andrew kill and what arrest warrants are outstanding on him?
We don’t know yet because Andrew has not provided a statement or agreed to an interview either in UK or US. As you know, Andrew is not very good at giving interviews on his own, without his lawyer present.It could well be, based on claims by some of the women, that he had sex with under age girls in US which would be statutory rape.
The link between Harry Dunn and Prince Andrew seems to have been rumbling on in the background for some time. The US was, initially, very uncooperative about the Harry Dunn case, yet now they seem to be more helpful. That is a big surprise. Why would that be? One possibility is that Harry Dunn (or at least subsequent similar cases) and Andrew are seen as related and, if considered together, can be resolved at government level

It would seem that several scientists from the Wuhan lab have defected and they are being interviewed by American, British and European agencies, so we may not have to wait too long for conclusive evidence that it was leakage from the lab that caused the pandemic. However, it seems that Steve Bannon is involved in the investigation 555 so any conclusions in the report will have his fingerprints all over them.
Steve Bannon Quotes from article:
“It’s not that hard for these viruses to get out. That is why these labs are so dangerous.”
“‘You essentially had a biological Chernobyl in Wuhan, but the centre of gravity, the Ground Zero, was round the Wuhan lab, in terms of the casualty rates. And like Chernobyl, you also had the cover-up – the state apparatus reports to itself and just protects itself.’“

But you may remember from post #28 on page 2 of this thread that I posted an article which had photos of the lax hygiene standards of the Wuhan lab: “I have seen better seals on my fridge.”
One of the photos from that article is below.
I am reposting the link to the article here so you don’t need to track back to page 2 to read it:

It is not just the virus leaking from Wuhan labs that is infecting the West. Here is a UK example of what is really going on in the background: high level Chinese corruption among the UK elite.

And a US example relating to a top academic from Harvard.
Quote:
“What worries Andrew Lelling, U.S. attorney for the Massachusetts district, is that Lieber was allegedly paid to carry out research in China, which, combined with his failure to disclose those relationships, makes him potentially vulnerable to pressure from the Chinese government to do its bidding at some future point. “It was the amount of money involved that drew our attention,” Lelling says, referring to a 2012 contract included in court documents that indicates Lieber received $50,000 a month in salary and millions of dollars in research support. “That is a corrupting level of money.” “

Yet more scientists who believe that the Sars-COV-2 was engineered in a lab.
It gives a brief history of virus escapes from supposedly secure labs.
It also looks at ‘passaging’ and ‘Gain of Function’ (GOF) In labs. These are scientific techniques, which turn viruses into dangerous pathogens which infect humans.
The aim of such experiments is to try to second guess in a lab how a virus might evolve naturally on its own. Scientists then have a lot more time to develop a vaccine to protect people. Unfortunately, if the artificially created virus leaks from the lab a pandemic disease may occur e.g. COVID-19.
Dr Shi Zenghli (Bat Woman) gets a mention in the article.
Quotes:
“And in February 2020, Scientific American interviewed Zheng-Li Shi. (Bat Woman) Accompanying the interview was a photograph of her releasing a captured bat. In the photo she is wearing a casual pink unzipped top layer, thin gloves, and no face mask or other protection. Yet this is the same researcher whose talks give ‘chilling’ warnings about the dire risks of human contact with bats.
‘All of which tends to confirm the original State Department assessment. As one anonymous “senior administration official” told Rogin:
“The idea that it was just a totally natural occurrence is circumstantial. The evidence it leaked from a lab is circumstantial. Right now, the ledger on the side of it leaking from the lab is packed with bullet points and there’s almost nothing on the other side.”https://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/the-case-is-building-that-covid-19-had-a-lab-origin/

The key sentence seems to be: “General Somsak said that members had agreed to extend the state of emergency for another month to prevent a second wave of contagion after schools reopen next week.”
None of us really knows what the virus will do next. We have been very lucky so far in Thailand, when compared with what has happened in other countries. I would be inclined to give the government the benefit of the doubt.

This is an article by Steven Mosher. It is dated February 22nd. A lot has happened since then, but here is an interesting quote from the article:
Quote:
“And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.
‘You heard me right.
‘Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.“
https://www.pop.org/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/
Does this offer a possible explanation for the current outbreak in Beijing?
Interestingly, over the last few days a rumour was spreading that the latest outbreak in Beijing had been caused by imported salmon. Norway’s imported salmon was cancelled last weekend. The accusation against salmon has now been withdrawn:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53089137
But why did imported salmon get accused of causing the outbreak in the first place? Most of the salmon comes from Norway and Norway has been in the news recently, or at least a scientific Norwegian paper was brought to public attention by Sir Richard Dearlove. He used to be the head of MI6, which is the UK’s most famous spying agency.
His comments were originally reported in the Daily Telegraph. I won’t provide a link to that newspaper, because it operates a pay wall, so most of you won’t be able to read the full article.
Instead, I will provide a link to the Daily Mail, which includes an analysis by the freelance investigative journalist John Naish. He explains why the Norwegian scientific paper does not provide conclusive evidence that the virus is man made and so Sir Richard Dearlove made a mistake in promoting it.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8389809/Spy-chief-coronavirus-storm.html
Anyway, China is unlikely to have been pleased with Norwegian scientists, and so maybe this explains why imported salmon was blamed for the latest outbreak.
This is only my suggestion, no one else’s. However you may remember several months ago when the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, started to blame Wuhan Institute of Virology, rather than the Wuhan seafood, market. China responded by saying the outbreak was caused by a leak from a US lab. So here we go again, this time with the equally preposterous claim that imported salmon caused the latest outbreak in Beijing.
Finally, for those who may not be entirely sure, this link explains the difference in meaning between coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19:

Dr Shi Zenghli was born on 26th May 1964 and so is 24 days older than Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson who was born on 19th June 1964.
The video that follows the one above is interesting too. It is about US diplomatic cables, which warned that Wuhan Institute of Virology had sloppy safety precautions.
Apparently, she wrote on a Chinese messaging app, when the Wuhan Institute of Virology was accused of accidentally leaking the virus:
“The novel 2019 coronavirus is nature punishing the human race for keeping uncivilised living habits. I, Shi Zhengli, swear on my life that it has nothing to do with our laboratory ... I advise those who believe and spread rumours from harmful media sources … to shut their stinking mouths.”
... or as her equally reputable Gemini twin, Boris Johnson, would say, when dismissing media reports about his mistress and her abortion, that all these claims were an “inverted pyramid of piffle.”

I am not a virologist and I do not pretend to understand the technical data. However, that article seems very long allegation and very short on evidence or substance; a lot of jumping to conclusions. When a lot of the allegations come from someone who is not prepared to put his/her name to the allegations there is a huge credibility gap.
The Nerd Scientist is probably Chinese and is living in China. Whistleblowers are being persecuted and are disappearing. It makes sense to remain anonymous. Here are some examples of what happened to others who dared to tell what they believe is the truth:

By the way, I hope that those who disapprove of Dr Mercola and of the Nerd Scientist found time to read the article by Ian Birrell, which appears at the top of post #122 above. That was the main purpose of that particular post.
My comment about Dr Mercola and The Nerd Scientist at the end of post #122 was offered as a possible explanation for something said by Ian Birrell, when he wrote: “I have even seen one unpublished paper questioning the validity of the Nature paper.”
Here is the link to his article, if you missed it previously when reading post #122. It is worth reading; you won’t need to think about Dr Mercola or the Nerd Scientist while doing so ????:

If this is the same Dr Mercola who is a funder of the anti-vaccine movement, and at the same time sells vitamins and minerals as "alternatives to vaccines" for the likes of measles etc, then I wouldn't believe anything that he says.
Dr. Joseph Mercola has also been ordered to stop illegal claims about some of the products he sells and is generally considered to be a "quack".
Hello xylophone. I see that you don’t like the cut of Dr Mercola’s jib; it’s true that he seems to have sailed close to the wind on some occasions e.g. tanning beds.For myself, I have found his advice on intermittent and ketofasting helpful. I was 120 kgs and was able to lose 40 kgs. I also followed his advice on oil pulling, which is swilling extra virgin coconut oil around in your mouth for 20 minutes each day. This is much more healthy than using alcohol based mouth wash. Also his advice on getting a good night’s sleep (no computers or electronic devices in the bedroom).
It doesn’t mean that I agree with everything that he writes, and I choose not to buy his vitamin pills and tablets. His daily emails are free, so I guess he has to make his income by selling products. It would seem that plenty of people are happy to buy his stuff over many years. Good luck to them.
For those readers who, like xylophone, don’t like Dr Mercola, I have done an internet search and found an article by Steven Mosher. It explains why the Nerd Scientist believes that Dr Shi Zhingli (Bat Woman) cannot be believed or trusted about the virus strain RaTG13.
So thank you xylophone for your post, as it nudged me to find a very good and interesting alternative.

This very interesting article by Ian Birrell looks at the different arguments about whether it was an accident/leak from the Wuhan lab or whether the bat virus infected humans using an intermediary animal host.
https://unherd.com/2020/06/so-where-did-covid-come-from/
It also touches on another matter:
Quotes:
”The closest relative to the new virus (i.e. Covid-19) is called RaTG13, which was disclosed in a paper submitted to Nature on the same January day that China belatedly admitted human transmission. It was found by Shi Zhengli.” (i.e. Bat Woman)
“Some experts wonder why more information has not been shared about this strain, which fuels the idea of zoonotic transmission and was revealed so quickly by Shi and her team. I have even seen one unpublished paper questioning the validity of the Nature paper. ”
What does Ian Birrell mean by the sentence underlined above? I think he may be referring an anonymous scientist called “Nerd has Power” aka “a nobody scientist”.
This nerd is discussed by Dr Joseph Mercola. I cannot give the link because he is a blogger and under ThaiVisa rules, bloggers are not authoritative enough. Rules is rules; no problem.
If you google Dr Joseph Mercola Why was Wuhan lab locked down during outbreak? you can read the article yourself. The article is about the shutting down of the lab’s communication system in October 2019. It also covers a number of other points including the claims by the Nerd Scientist.
The Nerd scientist is basically saying that the virus RaTG13 does not exist! Bat Woman has no physical proof of its existence. She only has its sequence information, which is nothing but a string of letters alternating between A, T, G, and C.
She claimed that RatG13 is 96% similar to Covid19. She is a very smart scientist, and so could use the Covid19 sequence to create (i.e. fabricate) the sequence for RaTG13. She then uploaded it onto a database, gave it the name RaTG13 and claimed that it is 96% similar to Covid19.
These databases cannot be checked; they rely on the honesty of the scientist uploading the sequence.
It is worth reading the Mercola article for your own interest, but, under ThaiVisa rules, we cannot quote it or discuss it on this thread.

Is this article proof that China was in the grip of Covid MONTHS before it told the world? Satellite photographs of a hospital car park in coronavirus epicentre suggests pandemic was already taking hold
Quotes:
“... a team of researchers from Harvard and Boston Universities are doing. They have so far pored over 111 images of medical facilities in the place where the coronavirus pandemic began — and those pictures appear to reveal a trend.
‘Namely that, from August last year, something was making those medical facilities much busier than normal.
‘This exercise in ‘digital epidemiology’ was published this week, adding to suspicions that the virus was making people ill far earlier than previously thought.
‘Officially, China first reported a cluster of cases on New Year’s Eve. It later told the World Health Organisation that the earliest symptoms for those patients dated back to December 8.“
Under ThaiVisa rules, we cannot pist links to blogs because they are not considered trustworthy. Rules is rules, no problem.
If however you google Dr Joseph Mercola Why Was Wuhan Lab Locked Down When Outbreak Began? you will see link to article that apparently fron October 14 until October 19, there was no mobile activity in the area around the Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory at all, and between October 7 and October 24, there was no activity inside the Institute itself.
We cannot quote or discuss the Mercola link on this thread, but it is worth reading the article for more information about the Chinese jiggery pokery.

Professor Carlos Wambier, a dermatologist at Brown University, and whose research started the news articles about bald men and coronavirus, gives fuller information by way of answering a series of questions.
Futurity is a newsletter which provides information from University research.
As you can see from his photograph, Professor Wambier has a clear incentive to pursue his studies and research.
https://www.futurity.org/covid-19-men-severity-hair-loss-2329142/
Quotes:
“In other words, the scientific evidence gives us reason to believe that beardy, bald men may be more vulnerable to COVID-19 than other individuals.”
”We currently know that men have more severe COVID-19 disease and a higher rate of fatality compared to women, and we also know that children under age 10 seem extremely resistant.”

Male, over 60, bald, overweight, heart trouble, diabetes and from an ethnic minority, you wouldn't want to be that guy!
The worst of the factors you have listed above is being overweight, although a lot more research is needed to help us understand why those from ethnic minorities are so vulnerable.
World-wide, plenty of women are overweight too. Being obese messes up your immune system, which includes your gut microbiome, and so makes It more likely that you will get illnesses and diseases like diabetes 2, many forms of cancer, heart disease, dementia and of course coronavirus.
But being positive about all this, there are various things that you can do which will make you less likely to catch coronavirus, even if you're bald or from an ethnic minority.
Wearing a face mask, washing your hands and getting plenty of vitamin D is a good start, but it’s vital to lose weight, nurture your microbiome, and get good quality sleep each night.
For those who may be interested, here are some useful articles from Dr Michael Mosley about combatting coronavirus, and other illnesses:

I hope that find this article of interest.

Quotes:
”The delay in the release of the genome stalled the recognition of its spread to other countries, along with the global development of tests, drugs and vaccines. The lack of detailed patient data also made it harder to determine how quickly the virus was spreading - a critical question in stopping it.
‘Between the day the full genome was first decoded by a government lab on January 2 and the day WHO declared a global emergency on January 30, the outbreak spread by a factor of 100 to 200 times, according to retrospective infection data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus has now infected over 6 million people worldwide and killed more than 375,000.”

555 that's good to know, starting tomorrow will not shave my head, Do you have any study about too much sex more likely to catch covid19
The UK government is saying that you can’t have sex with someone from another household:... which is a bit rich coming from a government headed by Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson:
and as you know, he did catch coronavirus, although maybe not from too much sex.
You’re safest doing it as often as you want with the same partner. This Argentine couple who have a lot of enemies (even Maradona calls him a traitor) in the football world, tweet each other as “Quindicina”: a reference to their doing it 15 times in 28 hours.
but Harvard Uni would advise them to wear face masks each time they had a romp; an opportunity perhaps to wear masks of your favourite animals

“The leader of the major study at Brown University, Prof. Carlos Wambier, said: "We really think that baldness is a perfect predictor of severity."
‘If the link is confirmed then it could be a gamechanger for treating coronavirus patients and could drastically reduce the number of men dying from the disease.”

It’s unusual for ThaiVisa celebrities (and former POTY winners) to post on threads I have started.On February 24, not so long ago, TV posted a report quoting the Tourism Minister, Pipat Ratchakitprakarn
“We'll be back to normal within half a year," he said. "After Songkran the worst will be behind us" and also “The virus can't survive long in hot weather".ThaiVisa readers very quickly posted 19 pages of comments: 90%++ didn’t believe him, and that he was talking moonshine.
One TV reader (fulviahf) went so far as to say: “As a member of government ... your lies will damage the people.” And way back then you seemed to agree with him about the Minister’s views on the health benefits of vitamin D???? (page 9)
I have to admit that I didn’t believe the Minister back then either, but like you, over the last few weeks and months, I have changed my mind about vitamin D too ????
Who knows, you may change your mind about what you read in tabloids as well.

doe sit refer to naturally bald or also includes the "manually" bald (shaved head) 555
What the article seems to be saying is that men are twice as likely as women to die from coronavirus. This is because of the male hormone Androgen. It is this hormone, which causes hair loss in men.
So the answer to your question seems to be that men who are bald or who have male patterned baldness may be at risk.
Androgen is “the gateway for the virus to enter our cells” said Professor Wambier, who has led two studies in Spain. Both these studies found that a “disproportionate number of men with male-patterned baldness being admitted to hospital with the deadly disease.““Another study in Veneto, Italy, of 9,280 patients found men with prostrate cancer who were on androgen (i.e. male hormone) deprivation therapy were only a quarter more likely to become ill with Covid-19 than those on other treatments.”
