#1 Yeah, and I have Neanderthal DNA.
When you only have concrete for building blocks, you use concrete blocks.

#3 From snakes, with the greatest of ease,
To the bat on his flying trapeze,
Whence, in only three links
It descends to the... [winks]
Such a naturally agile disease!

#5 Debunked. Used extremely short sequences that will match many viruses just by chance.

#6 I'm surprised the Indian study didn't find the disease an artifact of ancient Rakshasa DNA in the Orientals.

#8 Further evidence to support the claim this man made and the Chinese have been doing biological weapons development in Wuhan and this is an unintentional release?

#10 Gr(o)m, I missed your comment yesterday until today.

The thing is, it's not an either/or type of situation.

The virus could be a naturally transmitted one from bats and the Authorities (both in here and China) are incompetent to stop it.

OR

The virus could be a genetically engineered bioweapon AND the Authorities both in China and in the West are contemptuously lacking in the competence to deal with it.

There's simply bonus contempt for the think-they're-as-smart-as-medieval-mandarins people who built a weapon they couldn't manage.

As they say over at Ace's, Embrace The Healing Power of 'And'.

#11 If there is .001 chance it could be a bio-accident, it needs looking into.

I wonder if there is any sniffling and sneezing in those Chinese - Mooslim re-education camps.

#12 Did they sequence the "beer"?

#13 If there is .001 chance it could be a bio-accident, it needs looking into.

Even if someone were investigating, think the results would become public?
Maybe the UN would condemn the practice.

#15 #11 viruses don't jump from bats to humans

#16 a) As I said, either way, Winnie the Flu is stupid.

b) There's rabies, which is allegedly responsible for 7/10 human rabies cases in the US.

c) Which would also be a scary engineered-bioweapon scenario.

d) Which would also provide incentive for a bioweapons lab to 'practice' on making bat viruses more transmissible with humans.

The point I wasn't trying to make wasn't about the viruses. It's about the mandarinate-over-there, which is only smart compared to the mandarins-over-here, not the actual ancient mandarins.

#19 Also, keep in mind that this could all be an Underpants Gnome sort of plan.

"Step 1. Produce virus that's out of a John Ringo novel."
[...]
"Step 3: Profit!"

I get the feeling that totalitarian societies are big on Underpants Gnome sort of plans.
