Tight minge Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The other bit you've quoted I wouldn't call evidence either. You are clearly just being obtuse for the sake of it though so I'm done here. In fairness he is just following existing unproven threads and makes at least two incorrect statements. The first he puts a time frame as months when at best it was weeks and suggests the institute is in the vicinity of the wet market. The lab is nowhere close. It is well outside Wuhan.Could there have been a contamination by accident, from the lab possibly, but its a wild statement at this moment in time with little credence. However the fact that China released the genome sequence of the virus and it was concluded that it was not man made and the genome has now been replicated in the west and still no one is questioning the origin, I think it’s safe to assume, based on current scientific evidence that its bullshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Sounds like your wife is pretty exceptional, mate! I have an English partner, who has always voted Tory. The same could be said for my ex wife who is also English. Both would say it was something to do with the way they were brought up, and the areas they were brought up in. I don't really understand....Her parents are both staunch Tories, I suppose it goes with the territory as they live in Sussex. It’s a bit like Labour used to be up hear. Just stick a blue rosette on and they will vote for it.They are not fans of Boris though and my father in law says he has been impressed with how Nicola has spoken recently, so there is hope! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows a map, yes, it shows two places, yes. However, it is not the Virology Lab in question. The lab is 20 miles away as the crow flies. eta: The correct location of the lab and the market pulled from Baidu. Logically it would take a huge amount of conspiracy to put such a lab in a heavily populated area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown was announced on March 23rd. NZ 's first case of community transmission was reported on March 24 the country went into full lockdown on March 27th. Yet, the UK Govt. claiming that they weren't too slow in responding. NZ easing lockdown measures next Monday for two weeks then reviewing the alert level at the end of that period. Scotland 8187 cases 902 deaths. NZ 1440 cases 12 deaths. We had deaths before March 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government, funded by the tax payer, so any response they give will be off the tax payer's funded mechanism.

Doesn't matter what your political bias is respond through an official channel. I think that the government is entitled to respond as the government to correct factual inaccuracies if they might pose risks. Responding point by point like this in an adversarial manner is really inappropriate. It reads like a sevco statement knocked up for the trump administration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using said resources to respond is well within the accepted norms. Using the mechanism they did isn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
