#22"SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, had arrived in the country on frozen lobsters from Maine that were sold at the Wuhan market" ..... I know, strongly, that this is purely an anecdote. But this was kind of crazy to see. In Dec 2019 my family and I traveled from Europe to visit family in Maine. We returned around new year's and all got what was by _far_ the worst flu any of us had every had in our lives. And…
China has consistently pumped out alternative origins for Covid. It was on frozzen lobsters, they paid youtubers to promote it was frome whitetail deer, biolabs, anything to regain face. Meanwhile the rest of the world, just moved on .. its kind of funny, these dictator neurosis in public. Almost a 2nd loss of face after the first.
The article teaches you alot about soviet systems though the incompetence repairing perceived damage not by reform, but by rewritting history and narratives.

The Dec 2019 bug also hit me (living in NYC). I wasn't mentally myself for three weeks. I'm not even sure I fully recuperated. It was intense, and worse than when I eventually did experience COVID a couple years later. From what I read at the time, there was a non-COVID flu at this time throughout the east coast. Tests months later did not show I had COVID antibodies. It remains to me a remarkable sickness unlike any…
Same with my sister and her husband (London) Worst flu they ever had, I was looking after their kids. That said, later they tested positive for Covid antibodies

Could it be worth reaching out to a researcher? If you've NOT had Covid since, you may have evidence in your own bodies that would be useful.
We’ve definitely had it since, sadly.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
What would persuade you otherwise?
Look, that virus was ready to spread without any mutations. As if it was packaged to do so. Not sure why there is pushback on this idea (remember the media buried this as a story), lab leaks are a common occurrence unfortunately. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12835948/
And far more viruses spread naturally from animals to humans and far more epidemics have been caused by that.
So the logic of “they are a common occurrence” speaks to the opposite conclusion.

I also think it was a lab leak for sars-cov-2. I would be convinced otherwise if they found evidence of its predecessor in animals like they did for sars-cov-1, fairly promptly once they looked. But no - nothing like that and a lot of iffy stuff with the lab.

#27To me it's kinda like 9/11 in that ultimately I don't really care about the cause, I saw what was done with it. That was very fucked up regardless of the origin being synthetic or not, in both cases.
The causes can be handy to avoid repetitions.

#29Lab leak is total bullshit. The one person who had symptoms took a train to the market, and the ride's like 45 minutes. What did she do, hold her breath the whole time until she got to the market, then cough on everyone she saw? Viral load analyses of the drains spiked under the bat cage. Did the woman, IDK just take a huge shit in that drain? It's way in the back of the market by the way, so you'd think a drain closer to the entrances would be the hot spot.
The evidence for lab leak begins and ends with "there's a virology lab in the region". Gotta do better than that.
