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

 

They say they discovered it in bats in South Africa no mention of where the bats came from but my guess would be the Wuhan Lab as that's the only place they allegedly found the last corona because they still haven't found where the last one came from, funny that!

And many members await covid 69 ????

Not sure but you could also ask why are US scientists meddling with bats from Cambodia?

Pump up the Fear-O-Meter baby.  2022 - the year of Variant-Fear Mongering.  They can keep this up until at least 2025.

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

I remember back in June 2020 when people all over our amphur, tambon, and villages were experiencing upper respiratory issues - sniffles, sore throats, and coughs that lasted anywhere from a week to a month or longer. 
During that time the local hospital refused to test and just kept telling patients, "Go home, just a cold." 

So the rest of the world has tens of thousands of cases a day and Thailand just a few thousand.  Humm.  ????  Ok.

Yes, a very good question, why are they doing this? Why is anyone doing this?

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

Sure, there's tons of deadly viruses out there.  The point is to leave them the <deleted> alone.  Don't get them into a lab and start seeing how you can mess with them.

 

What's with Wuhan and their obsession with deadly bat viruses?

While a Thai doctor feeds the next wave of hysteria, it's freedom day in Denmark.

Isn't the answer obvious? They want to understand where the viruses are coming from and how they might jump species. Who would not want to know if the viruses can jump species to humans?

You'd prefer that the viruses just kept on coming and that we should not figure out how to stop them?

AAAAIIIGHH!!!  AAAIIGHHH!!

Someone forgot the cream in my coffee.

That's my only worry today.  Did the doctor fall off a tractor and land on his head or something?

Apparently it's because Bats carry many viruses but don't appear to suffer illness from them. I have never done a study so don't know if that is true or not. Maybe someone else here does.

Who says they're going to keep coming?  If covid-19 hadn't been brought to Wuhan, we wouldn't be in the mess that we are now.  (And that's whether you believe a wet market or lab based outbreak.)

[Scott Tracy]

He come I can see nothing about this virus online? Who dubbed it Corona 22?

ironically meaning.... In Thailand everything is under control according to the Government but as you write by yourself.. The truth here is different

[garyk]

So, CCP were using Covid-19 as a test run.

Has this story been given a factcheck?

It sure sounds like a thriller in the making.

Just in case you need an excuse for extending an emergency decree.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is one of the  preeminent research facilities for coronaviruses.  Historically, most coronavirus related diseases have originated in and around China.  It makes sense that research would be conducted as close to the origin as possible.   Most countries are not particularly interested in importing infected bats or even viruses capable of infection.  Whether we like it or not, this is the reason that so much research is occurring there. 

 

The US is far from being the only country that funds research or cooperates with the Wuhan Institute.  Both France and Canada have had long standing agreements with the Institute and research has been conducted on behalf of many countries.  Staff are from or trained from numerous countries, including Australia.  

 

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of coronaviruses.  At least 500 different viruses have been identified and most of them are of no danger to people.  7 viruses already infect people and they range from one causing the common cold to MERS which is 30% fatal.   There are a host of other viruses being studied that have the potential to infect people.   I recall of 11 coronavirus types found in bats in Laos that had the potential to be a danger to people.  

 

This particular one is most likely in the same category as those others which have certain proteins that MIGHT have the possibility to actually enter a human cell.   It's worth watching and studying but is probably not yet ready for prime-time coverage in the media.

Just leave it in the bats.

Also, Fauci & Co., stop supporting and funding virus "gain-of-function" research in a totalitarian country like China! ????

this is a virus in bats only, it has not crossed to humans, and without someone mucking about doing experiments will not cross over.

it's probably been in these bats for 1000's of years, just more hype... but if anyone can make it happen. the source of this article Wuhan could do it.

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. 

In the same NDTV article that states this, it also says:

 

Quote

In its current form, NeoCov does not infect humans but further mutations may make it potentially harmful.

So if it doesn't infect humans - and it currently doesn't, then how can they state anything (with certainty) about its transmission or mortality rates in humans?

 

The short answer is, they can't. Those characteristics of a virus are not things that can be established from laboratory data.

Is it gain of research because rand Paul labelled it that or some other reason? If so, what is that other reason? NIH, who co-funded the research over ten years didn't think it was.
