gadfly said...: Chinese Raccoon Dogs straight from the Huanan Animal Market originated the SARS CoV-2 pandemic on December 11, 2019.

The first known Covid-19 case was a market vendor in the Chinese city of Wuhan, not an accountant [first believed to have contracted the coronavirus on December 8 now appears] to have no link to the market but whose case contributed to speculation the virus could have leaked from a lab, according to a US study.

“[The accountant's] symptom onset came [on December 16] after multiple cases in workers at Huanan Market, making a female seafood vendor there the earliest known case, with illness onset 11 December,” the study said.

[The study also] said most early symptomatic cases were linked to the market, specifically to the western section where Chinese raccoon dogs were caged, and it provided strong evidence of a live-animal market origin of the pandemic.

In December 2019, an epidemic of a pneumonia cluster occurred in Wuhan. By 2 January 2020, a new strain of coronavirus, later determined to be SARS-CoV-2, was confirmed in an initial 41 people hospitalized with the pneumonia, two-thirds of whom had direct exposure to the market.; 11/19/21, 3:16 AM

There was also an "intense" period of "unusual and explained activity" in Wuhan in the weeks leading up to the pandemic - raising suspicions about a virus outbreak and mass sterilisation at the lab.

The city's airport was locked down for days, there was a blackout period at the WIV with no signs of mobile phone activity, and security was massively ramped up at the site.

But China has refused to cooperate with a full-scale probe into the origins and experts said the the cover up is continuing today

Don't worry though, I am sure the Chicoms are being straight with you.

Oh, there's more:

Some of the key evidence of inexplicable activity which Markson presents in her book is the ongoing question about wiped virus databases at WIV - which some have speculated may continue key data about the origin of Covid.

The databases containing 22,000 viruses were taken offline in September 12, 2019, three months before China officially warned the world about the virus.

And on the very same day WIV appeared to kick off a spending spree as they ramped up security at the lab, replaced their air ventilation systems and purchased a new medical waste incinerator.

I wonder how much the ChiComs paid the Stinkin' Project, or the Bulwark,or wherever you got this from to pull the wool over your eyes, and why it is so important to you that the Chinese Communists come out of this clean?; 11/19/21, 5:42 AM
Jaq said...: An apparent surge in traffic outside Wuhan hospitals from August 2019 may suggest the coronavirus hit the area earlier than reported, a study says.
Harvard researchers say satellite images show an increase in traffic outside five hospitals in the Chinese city from late August to December.
The traffic spike coincided with a rise in online searches for information on symptoms like "cough" and "diarrhoea".
China said the study was "ridiculous" and based on "superficial" information.
It is believed that the virus first appeared in China some time in November. Authorities reported a cluster of pneumonia cases with an unknown cause to the World Health Organization (WHO) on 31 December 2019.
"Clearly, there was some level of social disruption taking place well before what was previously identified as the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic," Dr John Brownstein, who led the research, told ABC news.

Independent evidence from the West shows that *something* happened in Wuhan in August, that the ChiComs went crazy at the Wuhan lab in September, which strongly suggests that the ChiComs knew that the surge in traffic at the hospitals surrounding the Wuhan lab, which was picked up by spy satellites, was related to their research at Wuhan. Research partially funded by Fauci. They immediately went into cover up mode.

What have the Chinese communists done to earn your trust? Is it all because Trump called them out during his presidency? Does it come down to your hatred of Trump that you will believe obvious lies from the Chinese communist dictatorship?; 11/19/21, 6:21 AM
Gerda Sprinchorn said...: Why are there still leaves on the trees in mid-November? Lots of leaves, not just a few bitter-enders.

What is going on here?

Plus, almost all the pictures posted are dark. Often very dark. Is it always dark in Wisconsin? Is it ever light? Do you have to drive with headlights on all the time?

I haven't read anything about these developments in the MSM. ANotHeR CovERup?!

Baceseras said...: Narr said (previous sunrise thread): Whitman..a bear to diagram

The last paragraph of Democratic Vistas is one sentence -- diagrammers, abandon hope here:

<< We see our land, America, her literature, aesthetics, etc., as, substantially, the getting in form, or effusement and statement, of deepest basic elements and loftiest final meanings, of history and man--and the portrayal (under the eternal laws and conditions of beauty) of our own physiognomy, the subjective tie and expression of the objective, as from our own combination, continuation, and points of view--and the deposit and record of the national mentality, character, appeals, heroism, wars, and even liberties--where these, and all, culminate in native literary and artistic formulation, to be perpetuated; and not having which native, first-class formulation, she will flounder about, and her other, however imposing, eminent greatness, prove merely a passing gleam; but truly having which, she will understand herself, live nobly, nobly contribute, emanate, and, swinging, poised safely on herself, illumined and illuming, become a full-formed world, and divine Mother not only of material but spiritual worlds, in ceaseless succession through time--the main thing being the average, the bodily, the concrete, the democratic, the popular, on which all the superstructure of the future are to permanently rest. >>

Much of the punctuation would be misleading, at least at first, to a diagrammer, because it's fundamentally rhetorical (speech-based) rather than syntactic (sentence logic) punctuation. It functions both ways, though -- but the changes aren't according to some pre-set method; they're intuitive, and have to be read that way to meet the challenge.; 11/19/21, 5:09 PM
