Thai doctor Chalermchai Bunyalephan went online to warn of a new virus that can invade human cells.

 

It is being dubbed "Corona 22".

 

Dr Chalermchai said it was three times worse than SARS and like MERS. 

 

He claimed that scientists at the University of Wuhan had discovered it in bats in South Africa. 

 

He called it a new virus of the NeoCov variety. 

 

Thai Rath - after doing their bit to scare the Thai public witless in their "three times worse" headline - said that the WHO were investigating to try and discover the true nature and power of the "new virus".

Seems more like a story of China seeing how well they destroyed the planet's economies the first time around, they re about to have another go

TV doing its best to add to the hysteria.

It will probably not infect Thailand, as with Omicron as the whole world have tens of thousand cases a day,  Thailand only a few.... So don't worry be happy

[cyril sneer]

it'll keep coming until we're wiped out

 

China can say these new variants and other viruses are found in other countries but in reality they're to blame for everything

Thats the point, there is nothing to read!

The virus carries the high mortality rate of MERS-CoV (where one in three infected people die on average) and the high transmission rate of the current COVID-19 virus. It also can't be neutralised by antibodies that target the Covid virus.

 

However Anutin will be out soon to confirm that Thailand's doctors can handle it no problem.

if it is like that , they  "discoverd it" , or they " plant " the virus there.

It is biological warfare so they don't have to face an actual war which they would inevitably lose against the West.

Dear Wuhan idiots.

Just leave it in the bats.

....and were currently replicating it for ' study ' in sterile laboratory conditions.

I think it's clear by now. People have created the furore around Covid to give some edge and meaning to their vapid, vacuous lives. Covid is a thrill, a challenge, and now that it's abating they are left feeling empty and effete again and don't want to let it go. They've become addicted to feeling threatened and are clinging to a sense of victimhood.

This bodes very badly for the future of the society.

Go and have a top up of what ever you are consuming .

Wondered why the Wuhan Institute had been so quiet for so long. Seems they are still v busy. Explains why the CCP locks down entire cities when it detects a single case

Thailand is also a nest of Sars Cov related viruses.

Pure deflection and an attempt to rebrand and remove the link to China.

 

Why are Chinese scientists in Wuhan meddling with bats from South Africa?

Thai Doctor Warns of New "Covid 22 Virus"

 

After everything people have gone through, one can't help wonder why headlines like this are matters of public interest. I mean, who decides it's a good idea to throw stuff like this out there for all to see? 
 

Other recent headlines have read: 
 

Warning of Potential African Swine Fever Spreading Across Thailand. 

 

And how about:
 

Poultry farmers in Thailand warned by WHO of the re-emergence of H5N6 bird flu. 

 

Heck, it wasn't long ago when NASA warned of a threat to earth posed by meteors. The list goes on... it does. 

Experts, if you're reading, please, <deleted> with your DOOM AND GLOOM until we actually need to run for them there hills. 
 

Thank you.

Not a good idea to use use 'Covid 22'. Covid 22 was a hoax report last year.

As I understand it presently NeoCov is still under the microscope, so to speak. At present it remains an animal virus and I have not read any scientific reports that it has been established, conclusively, that it will animal-human jump. I think the main concern is that it could be dangerous in the future if it mutates...but then again there are probably a whole host of animal infections 'out there' that might do that.

The 'good' doctor Chalermchai Bunyalephan should refrain speaking with a 'Wuhan tongue' until various researchers confirm.

Every time I here "Anutin" I get heartburn.

 

I think Anutin is endemic.

China are already preparing to cover it all up just in case.

I remembered this doctor but I couldn't remember from where...found out after a while. It was from a report in the Nation December 23 2021 where he is quoted;

“A recent study showed that two Sinovac jabs gave 35 per cent immunity against Omicron, but the immunity increases to around 94 per cent after receiving the third Sinovac jab. The immunity generated from three Sinovac jabs is equal to three Pfizer jabs,” he said.

At the time I read this I was thinking that other researches had different ideas. Hmmm
