China clamping down on coronavirus research, deleted pages suggest
I don't buy the escaped/released from a lab theories espoused here and on Facebook and the like.  Apparently the mutations within the SARS-COV-2 found in humans compared to the bat virus are purely random and hence the thing is not or very unlikely genetically engineered.  My source is a recent New Scientist article.  So the bloody thing is simply a virus that affects all people, everywhere, without fear or favour.  Simply ...Pretty much all stats I've seen relating to this thing are painfully awful.  Here in the UK (in England), care home deaths are not reported in the main death stat etc etc ad nauseam.  Scotland reports in its own way as does NI (or not bother) compared to England and Wales.  We have minimal testing anyway so who knows what is actually going on?Anyway, one thing I am absolutely certain of is that whilst the stats in Europe and the US, CA etc are a bit wonky at best they are at least a decent attempt to have a go at reporting the situation.I think that the CN and other results that are so way off the curve that other nations and territories are reporting are complete fiction and dangerous fiction at that.
