Justin's wife got COVID from flying to the UK like a fool, and a couple years earlier she was photographed with a terrorist assassin at a private event. Justin and his staff can't even protect his own freakin wife, how the hell can this government protect this country from threats foreign and domestic? This government is incompetent in terms of national security, among other things.

Complete nonsense. China is the one that needs a better excuse than oops. They’ve infected the entire world.

Trudeau gave out $830K in funding and the group in Wuhan were the lead researchers. The fact that our own people were involved just means that in addition to money they got some of our expertise and learned some of our methods. It's a double-whammy.

Don't worry about me. Worry about the jihadis in your religion.

The Rebel is to the right as The Rabble is to the left. If you wouldn't trust The Rabble, then you shouldn't trust The Rebel.

I hate Demonrats like the plague, but my human side always pains for Biden when he's trying to get the words out.

Furthermore

New evidence shows the corona virus mortality rate is at about influenza.

Biden continues to embarrass himself. No wonder his campaign has kept him in lockdown. This shit’s embarrassing.

Care to show me where it says Ottawa actually sent a cheque for $830,000.00 to the lab in Wuhan?

Some good news. Dow futures rally more than 800 points after Gilead coronavirus drug reportedly shows effectiveness Gilead shares jumped by 16.41% in after-hours trading after STAT news reported that a Chicago hospital treating coronavirus patients with Remdesivir in a trial were recovering rapidly from severe symptoms

lol I think he might have silenced you pal ... he just used a different link, this time from the Canadian GOVT official website. Wake up. Then walk into the light.

Furthermore, trying to predict the vector of such a thing is impossible. But...

I'll go ahead and suggest that there's a really, really good chance that the virus was held as a bio-weapon, whether it was released intentionally is another matter. They definitely would have recognized it's potential as a bio-weapon. If I had to guess at the chance that it was released on purpose, I'd peg it at 33%. It's not the most likely scenario but it's not completely unlikely either. If it was released as a bio-weapon, it wasn't necessarily released as an instrument of all-out war, it could have been deployed as a weapon of economic war. If it was, it was extremely effective.

Are you naming me "Shady" here? ...hmmm... You must be that one MLF member who rents a, Chihuahua booth, at the Wuhan wet market eh?? lol

We need to invent hyper-realistic sex robots so this stuff doesn't happen anymore.

Exactly. I don’t think anyone is suggesting it was on purpose or that it was some kind of bio weapon. It was legitimate virus research, but it looks like they’re safeguards were severely lacking.

Yeah that's probably the best reason that the US has to be mad at China right now eyeball. You nailed it. [/sarcasm]

The fact that the CNN crowd doesn't think it has credibility lends it instant credibility.

This is spam. Its designed to make you angry to make you look irrational when discussing China. Its looking to incite anger. The thread headline and opening rhetorical question is an m.o. used on this forum repeatedly.

So quoting us on relative CO2 output is deceptive. We have to do our part.

So that’s the big spin, that the WHO is run by China, and China planned the pandemic, killing thousands of their own people, more probably because of cover-ups. The upside for China is? Pretty thin stuff. China was grossly irresponsible with its wet markets, downplaying, and perhaps its virus labs, but if you’re saying this whole mess was planned by China, that’s a big claim that’s probably hard to prove. It also doesn’t change the challenges with containment.

It's hard to get a perspective on this since we don't really know how it's going to go. The health authorities do say it's only a matter of time. And if you examine what is known or what we think about this disease it's not good AT ALL. For example. Ontario hospitals are grossly overcrowded. In flu season they're often at over 100% capacity. What would Covid-19 look like if it became out of control? By which I mean there's too much of it to quarantine individuals as we're doing now. To start with, it's more than twice as contagious as the flu. So there's going to be twice as many cases. But there's no vaccination so more like three times as many. The flu has a mortality rate of about 0.05%. Covid-19 has a mortality rate of 2-3% Even at two that's 40 times the mortality rate of the flu - with three times as many cases. So instead of 1500 deaths per year we're talking about 50,000. Now let's look at severe cases. Approximately 1% of influenza cases are severe enough to require hospitalization. With Covid-19 5% of cases require critical care treatment. A total of about 16%-18% require hospitalization. Put as baldly as I can, our hospital system cannot possibly cope with anything remotely like those kinds of numbers. We're talking about a hospitalization rate of about 50 times that of the flu. And we can barely cope with the flu. Now let's look at the economic ramifications. From what I'm seeing in Italy, South Korea and China, widespread Covid-19 turns cities into ghost towns. Nobody is going to movies or sports games. Nobody is attending school. Nobody is going to church or temple. Nobody is traveling, taking buses or subways, going to restaurants or anywhere else there are crowds. Tourism dies out completely. Hotels are empty. People are only venturing out to buy the necessities. They're not going out to buy new and fashionable clothes or shoes or anything else they don't need immediately. Many people stay home from work. Others have no work to go to because they have no customers or clients. So yeah, it's gonna be a mess if it gets out into the general population.
