"And if you want some interesting reading, TRY THIS, says Corona Virus created in a lab in University of North Carolina in 2015 with a joint venture between China and USA with a Chinese DR. from Wuhan Province??"


The way I read it they did not create it but discovered it.

Charlie, the way I see it is 5th paragraph under AND NOW, states in the first line:

This virus was created at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and they published the highlights of their creation in November 2015.

So it looks like UNC with China and Fort Detrick!!!!!!

I agree with most of the post here and feel this is a nothing but a big hail mary by the media who desperately don't want to see Trump get re-elected.

I agree any virus should be taken seriously but I think carnut4life has just summed it up very accurately.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/summary.html

I think it's generally agreed within the medical community that SARS, MERS, COVID19 and other corona viruses began from bats, passed on to animals, then to humans. Reports I saw from the CDC today said that also. If you read the above link above it says the same.

I think the concern with this one, as opposed to SARS, MERS or the common flu is the fact that this one is so much more easily transmitted from person to person. At this point the
Incidence of death is about 3% as opposed to flu being 1%, but the CDC expects it to fall to 1% long term.

One good thing is, it seems to have little serious effect on children and younger people in good health, hopefully it stays that way.

If it was just a anti Trump media thing you would not see Italy close it's borders etc. Let's leave politics out of this discussion.

I'm only referring to it as it pertains to muscle cars and the possibility of a recession Charley, I have zero interest in getting into a political debate with anyone.

I bet this ends up being exactly like Ebola in 2014. We heard about it non stop for a month, and then it was never in the news again.
