My air card expired 40 years ago and getting there would be a bitch right now, but it sounds like paradise.Free scuba diving in Siquijor!
Fuck it.

Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.
Ummm not to argue with you abandon as I myself do not think this is man made but this study does not prove anything really. It states that it is very unlikely but not impossible that it has not been manipulated. I do think it started in a wet market with multiple species of disease ridden animals kept in close quarters without regulatory oversight so in a way it was man made.This puts it to rest. It happened exactly the way the thread title says it did.
The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 - Nature Medicine

The virus is found in the feces of those infected and several mammals have been successfully infected. There is a coronavirus strain that infects cats but can also infect humans and although it is rare for humans to catch this bug, it's not exactly subclinical, but quite a mild illness.I wonder if the virus can be found in animal feces?
dogshit --> fly lands on it --> next station: human apartment
one good thing which hopefully may come out of this crisis is a better understanding/awareness of hygiene.
all these dogs shitting everywhere alongside roads where children play are unacceptable to my eyes
Could you post a link to that. Thank you.WHO changed its stance on pet cats and dogs being susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Cats and dogs do get infected. They're still saying they don't know if the animals can spread the disease (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence).
It has not actually confirmed that a bat was the carrier jsyk. Highly possible but not proven as far as I know.bats are everywhere and chances are someone ate some contaminated food from their droppings while in flight..it happens and not infrequently.
a virologist was on NPR and explained how easy it is for the bat population to leave feces everywhere and how easy it is for humans to pick it up in places like China..they shit in flight and it lands everywhere- including your food BUT it doesn't mean it wasn't on a table, someone touched that table; spread from there.It has not actually confirmed that a bat was the carrier jsyk. Highly possible but not proven as far as I know.
Yes I’m sure your aware how easily it is to spread feces.a virologist was on NPR and explained how easy it is for the bat population to leave feces everywhere and how easy it is for humans to pick it up in places like China..they shit in flight and it lands everywhere- including your food BUT it doesn't mean it wasn't on a table, someone touched that table; spread from there.
No, can't yet. Thank you for calling me out though. I want to keep this factual. I was going off of news articles that claim that WHO changed its stance because of an email to one of the news agencies from a WHO official. Also, some of these articles point out that a WHO page on pet infection has been removed. So WHO has not clearly announced a change of stance, but the apparent stance has changed.Could you post a link to that. Thank you.
Calm, social distancing has been going on for a couple of weeks. Stores and pharmacies and such are open and security is checking tempsas you enter. The province has been closed to visitors for several weeks. One guy was a confirmed case in Cebu a week ago. He had been to Manila. People are taking it seriously but heeding authorities and it's orderly. Supplies are available. The internet has been faster in the absence of tourists. We've had some great dives because it's just the staff members and local divers who are quite experienced. We get lots of bottom time, no need to babysit noobs. I often dive alone anyway but I have seen more rare animals as of late, people aren't out scaring them off.How are things where you are at abandon?
Nevertheless the authors of said study arrived on that conclusion after weighing the evidence. If you read the whole study you'll find multiple phrases like "highly possible" & "significant" that SARS-CoV-2 evolved zoonotically. They also found absolutely no evidence of genetic engineering.It has not actually confirmed that a bat was the carrier jsyk. Highly possible but not proven as far as I know.
No it was not *man made*! Because the usage of this term implies that some humans wishfully & willfully created that virus - which there is absolutely no proof whatsoever to support such an unfounded claim. I really can't follow your "logic" here.I do think it started in a wet market with multiple species of disease ridden animals kept in close quarters without regulatory oversight so in a way it was man made.
My logic? My logic is yes it’s highly likely but not proven as Abandon eluded to in his opening. I read the whole study and you have said what I did. Not once did I say or even suggest it is man made did I? Why mention that? Abandon is getting upset with all of the misinformation on this thread by others and rightly so but let’s not devolve altogether into speculation even if it is highly likely.Nevertheless the authors of said study arrived on that conclusion after weighing the evidence.

This thread is in the politics subforum at the discretion of the author. I'm sorry that Google.ca could not help you with this embarrassing oversight.His thread, his call, this is not a political thread, thought the subject impacts on politics bigly.
Dr Evil has succumbed to the virus. And WTF. How do you butcher a pangolin, chainsaw?Dr Evil is in his lab, he needs to create a virus which kills the old and obese, he has cages of pangolins, bats, civets, everyday Dr Evil kicks the cages.
No need to butcher, just keep them alive, the virus needs functioning ribosomes, Dr Evil knows this.Dr Evil has succumbed to the virus. And WTF. How do you butcher a pangolin, chainsaw?
