China Regulating And Censoring Research On Covid-19



Newsweek: China Is Censoring Research on COVID-19 Origins, Deleted Page on Wuhan University Website Suggests

The Chinese government appears to be censoring research on the origins of the COVID-19 epidemic by requiring scientists to run their studies by the Ministry of Science and Technology, a since-deleted page on a university website shows.

According to a cached version of that page from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan that Newsweek reviewed, requirements were updated so that scientists would need to have their study approved by China's Ministry of Science and Technology before publication:

"1. Academic papers on the traceability of the new coronavirus must be reviewed by the academic committee of the school before publication, focusing on the authenticity of the paper and whether it is suitable for publication. After the review is passed, the school reports to the Ministry of Science and Technology, which can only be published after the review by the Ministry of Science and Technology."

And we would expect something different from this government? It really time to treat this government the right way. Like the pariah state that it is.

As early as July 2019, there was a respiratory outbreak in Virginia in a retirement home which killed 2 and hospitalized 18.

"...there was a respiratory outbreak ..."

There was also a birthing party on July of 2019 in that nursing home.

We do not have a reports of a birthday party being held in the old folks home in Porto, Portugal.

Can we conclude that having birthday parties for elderly originated in that nursing home in Virginia?

Birthday not 'birthing'

Stupid software as to be auto-completing.

"The specific cause of the outbreak had not yet been identified but additional tests of samples were being done, according to Schwartz."

So the fuckers at ABC news have not really told you much at all.


They just ended their report on a cliffhanger like they were writing the script to a sequel for the series "Dallas."

I know it was a typo, but I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a birthing party and a retirement home...

Example: Calculating Reliability of a Series System

Three subsystems are reliability-wise in series and make up a system. Subsystem 1 has a reliability of 99.5%, subsystem 2 has a reliability of 98.7% and subsystem 3 has a reliability of 97.3% for a mission of 100 hours. What is the overall reliability of the system for a 100-hour mission?

About 10% of cells in people are senescent, when people are elderly.

You can do your own calculations.

Like the next person I would like to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, but until you fix things at the cellular level, we have hit a ceiling or are very near it. With this population density and this tech level and with the current medical interventions, this is the "normal."

But add 3 million a year to the US and expect population density to go down.

Go ahead do it.

If you are liberal add 3 million people to the overall US population every year and expect population density to decrease. To be liberal is to be that fucking stupid.

Who knows birthing in old folks homes might become the new normal?

A 74-year-old woman reportedly gave birth to twins, may be the oldest ever to give birth

I mean, if 6 foot men with beards can pretend that they are women, can use the girls bathroom, is a senior citizen in a nursing home giving birth all that strange?

US CDC director confirmed some of the influenza-related deaths in the US were actually caused by Covid-19.

Once again a little asshole at 12:40 is being very coy.

Appearing very non confrontational in tone when you message is very damning, but incomplete on purpose is the height of assholism.

Outside of other strains of influenza might flu deaths of elderly, who got their flue shots. but died of pneumonia anyway have been cause by rhino or covid viruses they were not vaccinated for? This might have happened for years or decades. Outside of testing saved samples from past decades/years, we do not know, if past death due to influenza were 80%, 90% or 100% caused by influenza.

Let me make it easier for you since you are a dope. If scientist estimates that 10% or 15% of all cold are caused by Covid, then in previous years/decades probably all influenza deaths were probably caused by COVID.

12:40. You are reduced to pointing to a flyer on a bulletin board as your argument. In past lives, you made a good Red Guard in Mao's China, an unthinking, emotional ball of shit.
