Lab or Bats?

Oh sorry, thank you Urmstongran.

This sort of information is crucial when considering the outcome of the ‘investigation.’
Thank you Smileless.

Remember when Zimbabwe’s former dictator, Robert Mugabe, was appointed a “goodwill ambassador” for the World Health Organisation?
?

The appointment was the brainchild of WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who said he was “honoured” to have the despot on board.

This is the same Dr Adhanom Ghebreyesus whose election to run the WHO was secured with Chinese backing, and who has subsequently overseen the deeply unconvincing WHO investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan.

I think they are all too cosy with one another and it all needs a serious coat of looking at. But nothing will change.

this is a very interesting article and I know there are more recent ones with respect to farming methods and models

One of the reports I saw showed researchers investigating bats, collecting droppings and specimens with no protective clothing at all. Really not a good idea when it is known that bats carry diseases that can affect humans, chickens and pigs also carry these viruses, you just never know when one is going to cause a pandemic.

The WHO are definitely not fit for purpose in my opinion. It has been clearly alleged that the WHO gave China a very easy ride. It has been alleged that certain areas/reports were denied to them. If the WHO couldn’t do a proper and comprehensive investigation, which it appears they couldn’t, then we have to wonder about their impartiality and fitness to practice.

Our grandchildren might get to know the answer in years to come. I don’t think the WHO know. I don’t think they are fit for purpose. The idea is sound but changes need to be made going forward in my opinion!

The investigation only saw what the Chinese authorities wanted them to see. I’m still deeply suspicious if the origins of the pandemic especially as lessons need to be learned to prevent another one.

Newatthis You seem particularly concerned at cover-ups today, on more than one subject.

Blossoming I think an independent enquiry decided that it had NOT originated in the Wuhan lab.

It didn't need to originate in a lab, but human nature loves to have someone to blame. Viruses evolve, mutate and combine all the time, without any help from scientists, and have done so for eons.

I thought it was now known that it originated in the Wuhan lab. I’m sure I heard it mentioned on the BBC world service news. I’ll see if I can find any references.

I think it's totally immaterial now, over one year on, except that if it confirmed that it was a lab then the whole world should look to the security of their labs.

Unfortunately, if it is confirmed as lab, there will be a lot of unwarranted hate going in China's direction which will rebound on its innocent citizens.
