    No, not at all. It still works as effectively as it always has.

    Timing, it's all about timing, CoVid was killing people in Italy months before the Galwan valley incident.

    To be fair, the issue isn't The W.H.O, rather it's the puppet the Chinese rigged the vote to put in place. Tedros Ghebreyesus, that bastard who if he had any sense of decency would have stepped aside by now given all the controversy he has attracted, I'm surprised he didn't launch an investigation why some USA Athletics team didn't win any medals. Alas I guess he enjoys his fat pay packet and other perks from China.

    Unfortunately it’s a prohibited postal chemical, we have terror alert here in skipptophia. Prior to state boarders being shut down there was a lucrative run of bleach . Amazing was people from qld would purchase from say nsw and nsw would purchase from qld. So a back fill was always available to make the return journey profitable.
    Just goes to show a fool and their money are easily parted.
    The monkey piss idea came about from the craze awhile back that people ( a very kind but loose description ) would pay top dollar for coffee beans that have been eaten by a monkey and reclaimed from that monkeys shit , they would grind up that beans and drink it.

    Monkey piss has to be a big seller as the monkey coffee bean shit flavour has already done the marketing hard work for you.
    Do you access to any monkey myrtle? I know for a fact lama is freely available in North America

    lol, what a time to do business. lol. Cheers

    My edit

    From what I read earlier in March 2020 and unfortunately I cannot reproduce the article , the earliest onset was detected in Italy as you stated, but was also attributed to Chinese tourists that had visited the Versace and I think Gucci factory/ outlet in October/November of 2019. There was also a link to an outbreak/ detection in France around the same time I believe.
    As far as timing goes it’s my conspiracy theory and if qanon etc don’t have to provide facts , time lines etc themselves, then I claim the same exemption .
    I’m currently trying to find the details for importing monkey piss into skipptophia. Cheers
    Lol.

    I've heard about that Monkey piss coffee, the market for that would be HUGE in China, even more so it the packing makes reference to erectile dysfunction qualities.


    I know somebody who fits that bill perfectly.

    Shoot a Melbourne doctors clinic has been fined for selling as a Covid remedy horse worming tablets for $85 each. Talk about dumb arzes, I buy in liquid form, in bulk, water it down with saline solution, water is too risky I don’t want to kill the client through my actions.
    Lol
    Then again they are probably the same doctors that had the illegal engagement party last month, all fined $5200 for breaking lockdown laws. Just shows even with an education they are still fuk wits.
    Oh monkey piss import update. Apparently I can label it as Congense jungle Chardonnay and can import with a liquor licence. All good. Cheers

    Yeah you know you gotta be careful with that monkey piss coffee, if it’s got creamer in it then you know your barista has just given you a cup of hand job.
    That’s a cup of blow , not a cup of joe as they say in America.

    Hi all,

    On the subject of the corona, I really eanted to ask - have you changed your gambling habits due to the corona?

    I mean, have more people started gambling online, instead of in ground casinos and how do you feel about it?

    Yes, I haven't been to a casino in the last few years, not the cleanest of places in the best of times, unwashed, fleas in carpet, due to unwashed, coughing, nose pickers, many don't wash their hands after going for a piss or even a number 2. So with Corona going around, even more reason to stay away. Yes I played online, not the same, but what is the point of winning say $100k if you don't live to spend it.

    The coconuts at my local require the mask and vaccines proof so needless to say I ain't returning until the bulls shits end and the normalcy return, hey hey.

    Given the recent announcements from both UK and USA Governments, there is hope.

    Hmmm, a bit like Sweden who decided to let virus rip through society, zero social distancing, lowest death toil at one stage until it wasn't. Suffering one of the highest death toils in EU at one stage.

    The UK has basically lifted all restrictions, while the people in hospital is higher than this time last year, the major worry is this coming north hemisphere winter, when cases are expected to rise significantly, jabs in arms, no more lock-downs. Akin to Governments gambling with people's lives.

    USA and UK now consider the Chinese Corona-Virus becoming Endemic.

    Must admit, I have a strong feeling the planet would be a better place without these idiots.

    I've been convinced whole my life that true poker is reallife poker with real players at the table. But the pandemia made it much harder than before, and I decided to try something new. Therefore, I have now switched to gambling.

    Officially 5 Million dead, more likely double that, thanks to Dr Shi Zhengli (aka Bat woman).

    Ancestor of Covid-19 existed in horseshoe bats.

    Seaford market was a smoke screen - Hundreds of samples taken from animal carcasses at the market have all tested negative for any trace of the virus.

    Where did the virus first hone its acute ability to infect and transmit among people? Could it have been in a laboratory?
    According to U.S. intelligence sources, three of the early Covid-19 cases were workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    WIV scientists led by Dr Shi Zhengli (now known in the media as 'Bat Woman'), regularly made the long trip to Yunnan and collected thousands of samples from both wild animals and humans for study back in Wuhan.

    They did not always wear full protective gear as they handled thousands of bats, swabbing the animals' anuses and noses, and generally getting far closer to them than humans ever normally would.

    Thanks to the sleuths, we now know (as we did not in February 2020), that Dr Shi's lab at the WIV was in possession of a batch of viruses very closely related to SARS-CoV-2 collected from that abandoned copper mine in Mojiang county, Yunnan, where those three workers had died with a SARS-like illness in 2012 after shovelling bat guano.

    This mine is 1,171 miles (1,885 kilometres) from Wuhan by road, or as far as London is from Rome. The Wuhan scientists went there at least seven times between 2012 and 2015 to collect samples from bats.

    we do not know if the visits continued beyond 2015, most of the viruses recorded by Dr Shi's lab pre-date 2016. We do not know what viruses they might have found between 2016 and 2019. A cordon of secrecy also surrounds the mine itself. To this day Dr Shi and her colleagues have refused to confirm its exact location.

    WIV have also not been forthcoming with vital information about the viruses they collected while there, including what had been done with them back at the laboratory.

    They actually changed the name of one virus, failed to disclose the existence of eight others for 11 months post-pandemic and implied that they had only worked on sequencing their genomes from 2020, when databases reveal they had been doing so since at least 2017.

    To dispel rumours that SARS-CoV-2 was derived from one of their specimens, the WIV could have easily shared their data with other scientists. And their excuse that there had been 'hacking attempts' does not make much sense either.

    Besides, what's the point of collecting viruses with pandemic potential if you hide the data when a pandemic actually occurs?

    There is, however, a detailed record of the research conducted in Wuhan that hasn't been obscured. In paper after paper, the scientists laid bare a record of experiments on coronaviruses that were ingenious, comprehensive and largely successful.

    They did not just bring viruses to the laboratory for storage; they sequenced their genomes, made 'infectious clones' of them, grew live viruses in cells and 'passaged' them through a range of laboratory-made 'cell lines' of different animal species and cell types.

    They also synthesised and altered their DNA to insert specific sequences, then 'hybridised' (combined) some of them and used these hybrid 'chimera' viruses to infect human respiratory tract cells and mice genetically engineered to have human versions of genes.

    The aim of these experiments was to understand the risk that each newly discovered virus posed and perhaps one day to devise a vaccine against all SARS-like viruses. But the work carried a risk of unintentionally generating a more virulent or infectious version of a virus.


    What the Chinese scientists were doing, was a process known as 'furin cleavage site".
    It is this feature which enables the virus to make a crucial change in shape and so slip into different kinds of cells more easily: it is the very thing that makes Covid-19 so highly infectious. A furin cleavage site has never been seen in a SARS-like virus before.

    So it is, at the very least, intriguing to discover that the practice of deliberately inserting furin cleavage sites into viruses has become a bit of a hobby in recent years among virologists — including those in Wuhan.

    The purpose of such manipulation was to make it easier to grow the viruses in different animal cells in the lab.

    And, in a collaboration between Dr Shi's WIV group and scientists in America, a furin cleavage site was engineered into a MERS-like coronavirus from a bat in 2015.

    Yet, most oddly, when Dr Shi first described SARS-CoV-2's genome in January 2020, she diligently noted other minor features of the gene sequence but failed to mention this show-stopping, unique furin cleavage site.

    A rather shocking omission by someone who had identified the importance of such a feature, and used it in her own genetic manipulation research.

    It was left to other scientists in China, Canada and France to point out that this was the first SARS-like virus with a furin cleavage site, which makes it so highly infectious.


    Now things start to become murky, an organisation called DRASTIC uncovered a grant proposal by Dr Shi's close friend and collaborator, Dr Peter Daszak, a British-born scientist who runs the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, which funnels government funds into research on viruses in bats and other animals in Wuhan and elsewhere.

    The proposal requested $14.2 million (£10.4 million) in March 2018 from the U.S. Department of Defense. The subcontractors included Dr Shi Zhengli. The application was turned down, but it contained the first written statements by the EcoHealth Alliance that it and its collaborators had plans to genetically engineer novel cleavage sites into SARS-like viruses.

    And yet Dr Daszak did not reveal this essential piece of information while orchestrating a letter to The Lancet in February 2020 insisting (without declaring his competing research interests) that scientists could already 'overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife'.

    Dr Daszak was later named as part of the WHO's joint study panel in Wuhan.

    Working with viruses in laboratories requires scientists to take precautions. At biosecurity 'level 4', researchers wear.
    Dr Shi has said that her experiments growing bat-borne viruses in human cells were carried out at biosecurity level 2, which is entirely inappropriate for protecting laboratory workers against an airborne virus as virulent as SARS-CoV-2.

    Multiple accidental releases of influenza, SARS, anthrax, smallpox, foot-and-mouth, Marburg virus and other pathogens have occurred and continue to occur in even the most secure and well-run laboratories. It is an occupational hazard of such research.

    There were at least four known laboratory leaks of SARS in 2003 and 2004, in Singapore, Taiwan and Beijing. In one of the Beijing cases, the laboratory-acquired infection was only discovered a month after the fact.

    Close to 1,000 people had to be quarantined, 11 fell ill and one died.


    It is not surprising that the scientific establishment is uneasy with the fact that the world now faces the strong possibility that scientific research intended to avert a pandemic instead started one; that all WIV's collecting of viruses from bats, experimenting on them, altering them and then hiding the results, put humanity in harm's way.

    And yet it seems the Chinese government, the western scientific establishment and the WHO show little urgency in seeking to find the truth that may help to avert future crises.
