Sorry my bad , but such a high number passed on by people leaves no doubt in my mind how dangerous this Covid-19 could become

Coronavirus: UK considers virus-tracing app to ease lockdown

A coronavirus app that alerts people if they have recently been in contact with someone testing positive for the virus "could play a critical role" in limiting lockdowns, scientists advising the government have said.

The location-tracking tech would enable a week's worth of manual detective work to be done in an instant, they say.

But the academics say no-one should be forced to enrol - at least initially.

UK health chiefs have confirmed they are exploring the idea.

I was just looking through my favourite issue of "World Of Animals"...

... "Most Hunted Pangolin"

In the Far East there seems to be an almost fetishistic interest in eating strange animals. It's bad enough that the Yanks eat squirrels

Of course, this is only for those who discount the bio warfare theories

There was already an An-124 flight.

Probably going to be another An-124 flight.

Why not again sending Russian help to America if four years ago it worked so well.


Anyhow, there might be a hook in it:

China does the same, but across Europe the complaints about Chinese masks not fulfilling even mnimum needed quality standards are mounting. Whole and complete delivery volumes have been rejected and sent back.

German media say they have Corona on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CV).



The US military has already many days ago stopped to report numbers of Corona cases in its forces.

Years ago I started writing a Novel about Warring factions.
The lesser foe created a biological weapon that could only be delivered in a living host.
The final weapon was to explode a pilot over the Major population area so the remains rained down in a fine mist.

Should have completed that Novel.

The USN stopped reporting the names of the ships the virus has been found on, but I think they are still reporting the numbers of people that have Covid-19.

My boss said that he read somewhere that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention sold the animals they had tested at their center to the same market in Wuhan to make a little money on the side

Chinese researchers isolated deadly bat coronaviruses near Wuhan animal market

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...iruses-near-/?

Quote:
Chinese officials have said the virus likely spread from wild animals to people at Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, not far from the Wuhan Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national center for China’s bat virus research.
Quote:
British news accounts also reported over the weekend that some of the stalls at China’s so-called “wet” wild animal markets, as they reopen, have begun once again selling bats and scorpions and resumed questionable practices such as slaughtering small animals right at the site.
