Scientific Puzzles Surrounding the Wuhan Novel Coronavirus.

Prof. Lu et. al. also discussed the natural host of the virus. An early hypothesis had been the virus had passed to humans from bats sold at Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Market.

Lu et. al write: “First, the outbreak was first reported in late December 2019, when most bat species in Wuhan are hibernating. Second, no bats were sold or found at the Huanan seafood market, whereas various non-aquatic animals (including mammals) were available for purchase. Third, the sequence identity between 2019-nCoV and its close relatives bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21 was less than 90%. Hence, bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21 are not direct ancestors of 2019-nCoV.”

The authors point out that while the 2019-nCoV causing the Wuhan outbreak might have initially been hosted by bats, it may have been transmitted to humans via other as yet unknown mechanisms.

The Science article said: “Huanan marketplace played an early role in spreading 2019-nCoV, but whether it was the origin of the outbreak remains uncertain. Many of the initially confirmed 2019-nCoV cases—27 of the first 41 in one report, 26 of 47 in another—were connected to the Wuhan market, but up to 45%, including the earliest handful, were not. This raises the possibility that the initial jump into people happened elsewhere.”

There are many scientific questions regarding this novel virus. Based on recently published scientific papers, this new coronavirus has unprecedented virologic features that suggest genetic engineering may have been involved in its creation.

Or maybe they have finally found a HIV's vaccine CURE ... even if a bit aggressive in its action.

Really, we don't have enough reliable data to even reasonably speculate about it.

You are right.

We should stick to short term Bitcoin price speculation where we have such a great track record.

Good one, yeah... Good one.

The human immune system has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years exposed to every naturally occurring pathogen on the planet and even maybe some from beyond. Before 2002, the only TWO naturally occurring coronavirus strains that caused any effect were benign, found in nasal passages and causing no more reaction than a sniffle, a cold.

Since the advent of recombinant DNA technology, i.e. genetic engineering, humanity has been exposed to more than FOUR lethal strains of coronavirus in the last 18 years beginning with SARS. China accused USA of creating SARS as a bioweapon. Whatever the truth of that allegation it is probable that humanity is being exposed to a genetic engineering experiment on a grand scale that has probably "Great Filter" existential implications if allowed to run it's course.

If scientists are allowed to keep genetically engineering viruses and releasing them into the human population the human immune system will evolve in an unnatural/artificial direction. These people are playing God with our herd immunity. Genetically engineered vaccines will be employed to combat these genetically engineered viruses and the ensuing arms race involving the virologists and genetic engineers is more dangerous perhaps even than nuclear weapons. Only humanity can be the loser in this war.

All technologies have dark sides and risks/benefits. Genetic engineering has bought manifest benefits and promises much. However, now with the genetic engineering of viruses and diseases we are seeing the ugly, abominable dark side of genetic engineering and the huge risks to humanity if this isn't respected in the same way nuclear weapons are respected.

The scientists who did this need to speak up now before it gets out of hand and we are living in the age of pandemics. Before a great evil is released upon humanity that our descendants can never forgive us for.

This price action on smaller-time frame is boring   My next guess would be $9,200 to the 200 MA (on the 1hr) before breaking out of mini bear channel and back heading to resistance around $9.4K-9.5K. At least based on the current range, it's safe to assume the price will continue to bounce between support & resistance (until proven otherwise).



I think a break above $9575 will lead to high highs $10-11.5K and below $9140 will cause a correction to somewhere between $8.2-8.8K.
Looks like many are waiting for a big move, but as we can see from previous attempts to move the price one way, price remains range bound.
Longer-term patterns; obvious bull flag & cup and handle (both bullish), but not yet confirmed while within strong resistance zone.

I grew up with a guy that did this twice (tried to go to sleep in the wrong house)!

Got busted both times though his neighbors were not so forgiving.

Shit. Confirmed cases in India. Come on guys let's wrap this up tight.

That reminds me of a friend. I haven't seen him in a while, but he was a master at getting pissed.
He told me once, that his parents told him that he staggered into their bedroom, by which his mother woke up.
He opened the door of the closet, took out his anaconda and started to water the damn thing.
When his mother screamed that he should stop, he angrily shouted back at her: "MOM, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BATHROOM!".

One of the most hilarious real life stories that i ever heard.

This is not as uncommon as you would think, I've heard of a few retards doing this thinking they were in the bathroom.

... reports of low white blood cell counts and cytokine storms leading to organ failures in some victims ... i.e. maybe attacking the T-cells aka immune system
so the HIV phase of the virus is yet to come. Many asymptomatic people may go on to succumb to secondary infections. fml. Who created this shit?!?!

The entire site. It's a propoganda pile. From Wikipedia:

The Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper[2] founded in 2000 by John Tang and a group of Chinese Americans associated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement.

Seriously, I highly recommend vetting sites and drawing from those that have reasonable impact/sjr scores. There are too many crap journals and publications out there.

(Note: PLOS has crawled its way up to a 3. I'm quite frankly amazed)

That said, it's an interesting paper on the Lancet and on ScienceMag's preprod system, but it really doesn't tie in well to where the author is going. I'd recommend posting the links to the papers and discussing from that.
