Well obviously I’ve got a special interest in the BAME statistics.

I have trouble with the BAME classification though, because it just groups together a lot of very genetically diverse people in terms of what they are not ie not white ( but some of them are) not wealthy(but some of them are) not in the place they were born(but some of them are).

If you were Chinese, in China you wouldn’t be a BAME statistic, but in the UK you would be.

I don’t know how you’d engineer that virus!

No trisher it isn’t an escaped virus it is zoonotic in origin. The scientists know that for sure.

I can't help thinking that if you were a white supremetist with a belief in Eugenics Covid 19 is exactly the sort of thing you might have come up with. A virus which wipes out the elderly and unhealthy and kills more BAME people that caucasian. There was a theory some time ago that this particular virus had escaped from a research lab. Is it possible? The US claims that the virus escaped from a Chinese lab and the Chinese say it was brought over by a US contestant in the Military World games in Oct 2019. It just passes the time investigating them!
