A year after first death in China, coronavirus source still a puzzle
A conclusive answer to how the coronavirus pandemic began remains a mystery. [Sure]
It is the world's most pressing scientific puzzle, but experts warn there may never be conclusive answers over the source of the coronavirus, after an investigative effort marked from the start by disarray, Chinese secrecy and international rancour.
January 11 marks the anniversary of China confirming its first death from COVID-19, a 61-year-old man who was a regular at the now-notorious Wuhan wet market.
Nearly two million deaths later, the pandemic is out of control across much of the world, leaving tens of millions ill, a pulverised global economy and recriminations flying between nations. [Except recriminations aimed at the chicoms.]
Yet China, which has broadly controlled the pandemic on its soil, is still frustrating independent attempts to trace the virus' origins and the central question of how it jumped from animals to humans.
There is little dispute that the virus which brought the world to its knees sparked its first known outbreak in late 2019 at a wet market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan where wildlife was sold as food, and the pathogen is believed to have originated in an undetermined bat species. [Yep, no dispute at all.]
But the trail ends there, clouded by a mishmash of subsequent clues that suggest its origins may predate Wuhan as well as conspiracy theories—amplified by US President Donald Trump—that it leaked from a Wuhan lab.[Just a conspiracy. Never mind that the chicoms were manipulating the "bat" virus and had a dirty lab history.]
Establishing the source is vital for extinguishing future outbreaks early, leading virologists say, providing clues that can guide policy decisions on whether to cull animal populations, quarantine affected persons, or limit wildlife hunting and other human-animal interactions.
"If we can identify why they (viruses) keep emerging, we can reduce those underlying drivers," said Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a global NGO focused on infectious disease prevention.
Here is the Washington state map of counties with the most Covid Cases
This is the 8 sectors that Cinslee's crack team came up with for phased opening - each sector has to meet the state's scientific requirements based on something the state will change if a sector moves out of Phase 1.
Note that each sector has included one of the Covid Hot Spot counties in its region. Thus ensuring no regional advancement will happen. Where I am - we are tied to Thurston County and we will never move out of phase 1.
it is designed to fail. and the people were happy. Awoman

Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene are raking tax $$$$ right now. Aside from weed, there's nothing in WA worth buying that a 15 mile drive won't fix at a lower price.

Just opened an office there. Can't fucking wait to break ground.
Hey Karen, lose about 70 pounds you fat dumb cunt. Every person who has supposedly died from the VID in my 1-3 degree of seperation cirlce (still don't know anyone personally) was fat and had other health related problems.

Huh?
Could be a story there somewhere
