[QUOTE] Professor David Robertson from the University of Glasgow told the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee last month that there was ‘really no evidence’ of Covid-19 being man-made. He added: ‘I don’t think we’re clever enough to have designed this virus – it’s far too unique. We can all enjoy a conspiracy theory but you need to have evidence.’

But Sir Richard said a scientific paper published this week by a Norwegian-British research team suggested key elements in the genetic sequence of the virus were ‘inserted’ and may not have evolved naturally. [QUOTE]

Not sure what that suggests. Might explain reports of higher death rate in BAME.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

If Australia didn't have those figures I would be very surprised, considering that its over 30 times the size of the UK with just over twice the population of London living there.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Make what you like of this, but new infections AND deaths have
risen for the last three days, just after lockdown was eased??

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I laughed and laughed about this but I am sure it is OK because of the way everybody in the UK defended Boris' interpretation of "Stay Home"

Hi

However you look at it we have not done well and we are being lied to.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I've come to the conclusion that Covid19 is not that easy to catch. We assume (with the help of the media) that it can be carried on letters and packaging, and even coming within two metres of some random person in the street or supermarket can spread the disease. I would like to see the figures of people who have been infected and have not personally come into contact of an infected person
.
However, if the virus could spread as efficiently as we are led to believe, it would rip through the population like a dose of salts, and many more people would have been infected, and more quickly, even though the rate of infection is higher in the UK than most other places.

According to Bruces recent figures only 0.41% of the British population has been infected....Now I'm no virologist or statistician but, I find this very low considering how virulent this virus is supposed to be. Obviously, it is not been spread as quickly and easily as the media or the government suggest.

I'm in no way suggesting that we relax our vigilance, you can't be too careful, and despite the apparently low infection figures (in comparison to recent pandemics) the death rate is exceedingly high. But you have to admit that it's a wonder at least 50% of the population would have been infected if all the hype is to be believed....

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

According to Bruce's chart the deaths per 1 million population in Europe are :-

Belgium 827
UK 593
Spain 580
Italy 559
Sweden 460
France 446
Netherlands 351
Germany 105
