My three favorite states are now joining forces to protect us from the Idiot-in-Chief. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve a treat like this, but it’s going to be all good on the West Coast.

Worth noting that Trump mistakenly thought it was up to him lift quarantine, when it is not. Under the Constitution, the states have the right to lift measures taken. I guess he shouldn’t left it up to the states after all...

The governors have issues their joint statement. This will be known as the “Western States Pact.” They will make decisions on when to open their states back up, and not the federal government. They will no longer takes Trump’s guidance on the matter. Their decisions will only be directed by science. 
 

Y’all thought I was crazy when I talked about West Coasters wanting to leave the US. To be clear, this isn’t that. However the amount of people in these states that are very happy with the creation of this pact is telling.

 

From what I understand, the liberal states in New England are looking towards adopting a similar strategy.

Czech microbiologist says COVID-19 virus was created in a laboratory

 

Dr. Sona Pek is one of the top molecular biologists in the world. She was the first to develop a test to identify the presence of Coronavirus in the human body. It is called the simple test. She has also analyzed the virus at the molecular level.

 

Her finding is that the virus is man-made, in a laboratory. That is, that its genetic code has been modified by human intervention.

 

The test she developed can detect the presence of COVID-19 in just one hour. She has published her findings and offered them free to medical experts around the world.

 

The interesting part of the interview starts around 15 minutes where she describes unnatural mutation of the virus with a high probability of unnatural genetic manipulation.

 

The last three minutes of this DEVASTATE the notion this is a naturally-occurring virus. A MUST SEE, in my opinion.

 

She also clearly states that there is almost no possibility that material was not cut & pasted from other recent pandemic-level viruses... i.e. LAB CREATED.

COVID-19: genetic network analysis provides ‘snapshot’ of pandemic origins

Study charts the “incipient supernova” of COVID-19 through genetic mutations as it spread from China and Asia to Australia, Europe and North America. Researchers say their methods could be used to help identify undocumented infection sources.  

 

Phylogenetic network analysis has the potential to help identify undocumented COVID-19 infection sources Peter Forster

 

Researchers from Cambridge, UK, and Germany have reconstructed the early “evolutionary paths” of COVID-19 in humans – as infection spread from Wuhan out to Europe and North America – using genetic network techniques.

 

By analysing the first 160 complete virus genomes to be sequenced from human patients, the scientists have mapped some of the original spread of the new coronavirus through its mutations, which creates different viral lineages.

 

“There are too many rapid mutations to neatly trace a COVID-19 family tree. We used a mathematical network algorithm to visualise all the plausible trees simultaneously,” said geneticist Dr Peter Forster, lead author from the University of Cambridge.  

 

“These techniques are mostly known for mapping the movements of prehistoric human populations through DNA. We think this is one of the first times they have been used to trace the infection routes of a coronavirus like COVID-19.” 

 

The team used data from virus genomes sampled from across the world between 24 December 2019 and 4 March 2020. The research revealed three distinct “variants” of COVID-19, consisting of clusters of closely related lineages, which they label ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’.

 

Forster and colleagues found that the closest type of COVID-19 to the one discovered in bats – type ‘A’, the “original human virus genome” – was present in Wuhan, but surprisingly was not the city’s predominant virus type.

 

Mutated versions of ‘A’ were seen in Americans reported to have lived in Wuhan, and a large number of A-type viruses were found in patients from the US and Australia.

 

Wuhan’s major virus type, ‘B’, was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. However, the variant didn’t travel much beyond the region without further mutations – implying a "founder event" in Wuhan, or “resistance” against this type of COVID-19 outside East Asia, say researchers.

 

The ‘C’ variant is the major European type, found in early patients from France, Italy, Sweden and England. It is absent from the study’s Chinese mainland sample, but seen in Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.

 

The new analysis also suggests that one of the earliest introductions of the virus into Italy came via the first documented German infection on January 27, and that another early Italian infection route was related to a “Singapore cluster”.

 

Importantly, the researchers say that their genetic networking techniques accurately traced established infection routes: the mutations and viral lineages joined the dots between known cases.

 

As such, the scientists argue that these “phylogenetic” methods could be applied to the very latest coronavirus genome sequencing to help predict future global hot spots of disease transmission and surge.

 

“Phylogenetic network analysis has the potential to help identify undocumented COVID-19 infection sources, which can then be quarantined to contain further spread of the disease worldwide,” said Forster, a fellow of the McDonald Institute of Archaeological Research at Cambridge, as well as the University’s Institute of Continuing Education.

 

The findings are published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The software used in the study, as well as classifications for over 1,000 coronavirus genomes and counting, is available free at www.fluxus-technology.com.   

 

Variant ‘A’, most closely related to the virus found in both bats and pangolins, is described as “the root of the outbreak” by researchers. Type ‘B’ is derived from ‘A’, separated by two mutations, then ‘C’ is in turn a “daughter” of ‘B’.

 

Researchers say the localisation of the ‘B’ variant to East Asia could result from a “founder effect”: a genetic bottleneck that occurs when, in the case of a virus, a new type is established from a small, isolated group of infections.

 

Forster argues that there is another explanation worth considering. “The Wuhan B-type virus could be immunologically or environmentally adapted to a large section of the East Asian population. It may need to mutate to overcome resistance outside East Asia. We seem to see a slower mutation rate in East Asia than elsewhere, in this initial phase.”

 

He added: “The viral network we have detailed is a snapshot of the early stages of an epidemic, before the evolutionary paths of COVID-19 become obscured by vast numbers of mutations. It’s like catching an incipient supernova in the act.”

 

Since today’s PNAS study was conducted, the research team has extended its analysis to 1,001 viral genomes. While yet to be peer-reviewed, Forster says the latest work suggests that the first infection and spread among humans of COVID-19 occurred between mid-September and early December. 

 

The phylogenetic network methods used by researchers – allowing the visualisation of hundreds of evolutionary trees simultaneously in one simple graph – were pioneered in New Zealand in 1979, then developed by German mathematicians in the 1990s.

 

These techniques came to the attention of archaeologist Professor Colin Renfrew, a co-author of the new PNAS study, in 1998. Renfrew went on to establish one of the first archaeogenetics research groups in the world at the University of Cambridge.

A summary from all the articles related to the virus thus far.

 

It's REALLY starting to look, like China MAY have engineered this virus in their Wuhan Institute of Virology:
(Allegations, below, taken from multiple sources on the internet. Hopefully more info will be revealed going forward)

-  The FIRST sick patient had no contact with that "seafood market" that the Chinese CLAIM was the source of the virus.
-  In fact its been claimed the first patient was a researcher at the Wuhan lab..Huang Yanling.
-  Huang Yanling has since "disappeared" and her bio has been removed from the lab's website.
-  It has been proposed she died from the virus... and her body was quickly cremated.
-  The workers at the crematorium were thus infected by contact with the body.
-  The viral infection may have spread from those workers.
-  There are 2 theories: 1. Two animals species, Bats and ?, created this virus. 2. The virus was "engineered".
-  One problem: There were no bats sold at the market. There were no bats found at the market.

-  After the market was shutdown, ALL the animals were destroyed and burned.
-  Without the animals to test it is impossible to determine if any were a secondary carrier for the Bat virus.
-  The Chinese government REFUSES to allow foreign scientists to investigate for the source of the virus.
-  The first Chinese investigative group, into Wuhan, was headed up by China's Propaganda Czar.
-  14 of the first 41 sick patients ALSO had no contact with that "seafood market".
-  50 of the first 99 patients ALSO had no contact with that "seafood market"
- There is a claim: "The virus came to the market before it left the market"

-  Initial criteria for patient evaluation for this virus REQUIRED the victim have contact with the market.
-  This criteria obviously ruled out approx. 30% of the infected from being included in the known case #'s:
-  As a result the Chinese government has been charged with attempting to lower reported numbers.

-  The Wuhan lab is termed "Level 4". As such it is capable of handling "weapons grade" micro-organisms.
-  The Wuhan lab began studying the Bat virus as early as 2009.
-  The Wuhan Biolab previously reported they were able to modify the Bat Virus so it would attach to human cells (lungs).
-  A Dr. Shi Zhengli, at the lab, wrote article claiming success splicing a bat S-protein "key" to the SARs Virus.
-  The s-protein was taken from one of three Bat Corona Viruses found MOST effective at attaching to human cells
-  The s-protein allows the virus to attach to the ACE2 protein in human lung cells.
-   She basically created a synthetic virus, "Frankenstein's Monster". (A SARs virus with a killer, s-protein, "key", spliced on)
-   Her tests on mice, showed MASSIVE lung damage.
-   She indicated she planned to test it on monkeys.
-  The final "intent", as to use of this bio-engineered virus....unknown?
-   A French researcher, aware of her work, WARNED what would happen if that synthetic virus escaped from the lab.
-  "If this virus escapes it will be impossible to plot its trajectory".
-   Once attached this "monster" virus can EASILY enter and destroy human lung cells.
-   The Corona virus SHOULD be classified as a bio-engineered, military weapon of "mass destruction."
-   This Dr. Shi Zhengli MAY go down as another "Joseph Megala". 
-   The Chinese government shut down ALL discussions of the virus after a Shanghai institute publish a genome study
-   The Wuhan General Mgr sent dictate to employees to NOT discuss COVID-19 with anyone.
-   The Wuhan Biolab has been called "The REAL Umbrella Corporation".
-   After the outbreak was made known, the Chinese government issued an edict to its labs.
-   The edict stated that increased precautions must be implemented to preclude virus escapes.
-   The edict SPECIFICALLY mentioned the Corona virus.
-   The Chinese government ALSO shutdown any and all studies on the virus and shutdown any discussions.
-   "Existing virus samples must be destroyed."
-   "Information about samples, related papers/data is prohibited from release".
-   An alternative theory: The sickness at the "wet market" MAY have been "planted" with animals from the Wuhan biolab.
-   There was in incident in Beijing where a researcher SOLD lab animals to "wet markets" for extra cash.
-   He was caught, tried and is currently in jail.
-   The Chinese government assigned a military GENERAL to manage the Wuhan epidemic.
-   That General (Chen Wei) is their expert on viral warfare.
-   The virus has 96% of the genetic makeup of the CoS Bat virus.
-   The Bat virus CANNOT infect humans to the extent this virus has.
-   Experts claim the Bat virus HAD to have been engineered so it could attach to proteins in the human lung.
-   Those same experts say it is virtually impossible for the virus to "evolve", to that deadly point, on its own.
-   The Corona viruses proteins match (100%} that of the SARs virus. IMPOSSIBLE via natural mutations
-   There IS a claim the virus was engineered to attack older men to a higher % (Military Generals, politicians, Catholic Clergy)


MORE information is needed. But based on these allegations, with no further evidence, the responsibility looks pretty damning for the Wuhan Lab.

 

A scientist from Czech who is studying about the virus together with a team of members in the lab said that the virus is very severe and damaging. She said there is no way this virus could have been so severe once it infect people. The virus might have come from the bats. However what we are seeing now is the dangerous mutated version of the bats virus which have been tampered with and it is severe. She said anyone who caught the virus they will face breathing difficulties and their lungs will be gone in just minutes of time. So scary. Hope her research team can find the vaccine and cure for this virus as soon as possible.

    • Not counting Colturi the last time an Italian women skier stood on the podium of the World Cup in a special slalom was in 2011:     -Manuela Moelgg: 4.01.2011..       The last Italian victory was:     -Chiara Costazza: 29.12.2007...         In my opinion the best slalom skier on the Italian team is still Federica Brignone, who doesn`t trains in this discipline anymore. If she did, she would probably easily beat skiers like Peterlini, Rossetti or Della Mea. I don't understand why we have such problems in this competition? Bad training methods, bad coaches? I fear that Colturi would also be reduced to mediocrity by this hopeless Italian staff, who are unable to train an athlete for a dozen or so years to reach a single World Cup podium. Radical changes should have been implemented long ago, because the current state of affairs doesn`t guarantee any progress in the near future...
    • Was an announcement which competitions will be on 2026 Olympics games? On Olympics Games site there is an information that for the first time men and women will competite on the same distances.       10 + 10 km skiathlon (men and women) - clear     Sprint (men and women) - but what style?     Freestyle team sprint (men and women) - clear     Relay 4x7.5 km (men and women) - clear     10 km freestyle (men and women) - clear     50 km classical technique (men and women) - clear
    • I'll give you the curling comments based on your expertise. But, I will say that GB have only ever not qualified a curling team once, the mixed pair in 2018. They just have a way of upping their game when the olympics come around.    I hope I'm wrong but I have a funny feeling that Huw Nightingale won't qualify and as such neither will the Mixed Team. It feels a bit like the Mixed Team Skeet in Paris, where Ben Llewellin missed out on qualifying for the individual so the team couldn't compete, despite being World Champions 2 years prior.    Again, you definately know more about ice hockey than me but I feel like, apart from vs Norway, the Team wasn't outplayed in the final qualifier. Albeit intermittently, the team has been in the top division of the world championships for a few years now, so they do have the quality to compete for an Olympic Berth
    • Think you're you're being a little pessimistic here. In men's slalom the #3 GB skier is in the world top 40 and the 3 Carrick-Smith teenagers are jumping up the rankings too. I'd actually be slightly disappointed if we didn't have a full team of 4 slalom skiers plus 2 in the women's event. The speed events are going to be a big challenge though   EDIT - Sorry, #3 GB slalom skier is actually ranked #41 in the world
    • " There one kid trying the stuff, but no chance unless he swithc nationality to Benin or Tuvalu for the free pass" - There is no universality quotas at the WOG
    • The big problem with Nines is that every attempt at a world competition has failed badly. A World Cup in 2019 was not repeated again and a World Club tournament was abandoned 20 years years ago due to a lack of interest. I'm not even sure the variant is played anywhere these days.
    • I believe, the IOC has admitted the cap will have to be relaxed for 2028.   I think they will go with what you proposed. 10,500 for core sports plus some for extra sports
    • Slovakia   Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (5) - As usual, 3 W & 2 M. Petra Vlhová will be accompanied by 2 other girls, I guess Rebeka Jančová should be one of them, no idea who will be the other one. For the men team, it is going to be again the Žampa bros clan with one last dance for Adam and once again joind by his younger brother Andreas. Cross Country Skiing  (4) - As always in the last couple of games, I expect a Coubertine-like participation in this sport with a perfect Bach-esque gender equality with 2 M and 2 W in order to start in both Team sprints semifinals. Do not ask me the names, I have absolutely no idea Ski Jumping  (2) - There a quite solid chance to finally return in this beautiful sport for Slovakia since the extinction of the dinosaurs. The young Kapustík siblings, Hektor and his sister Kira are the biggest chances for this history making, Among women it would be an absolute premiere, plus there a minor chance that Kira Kapustíková may be, if all planets align perfectly accompanied by another girl Tamara Mesíková. Nordic Combined  (0) - Maybe in Abu Dhabi 2042 or New Trumpopolis 2046 Freestyle Skiing  (1) - Michael Oravec in Freeski Big Air & Slopestyle is the only realistic chance, there some young girls trying ski cross, but still too long way to go here Snowboarding  (2) - Klaudia Medlová once returned from injuries should qualify for her last games in Big Air + Slopestyle. Among men in the same disciplines we may have an olympic debut with Samuel Jaroš. Biathlon  (6) - Hopefully with the returns of Paja Fialková (now Batovská) and Nastya Kuzmina we will win enough points to qualify a full female squad alongside the young Ema Kapustová and one of the Remeňová sisters to form a relay. Among men, the situation is more complicated, I hope at least 2 guys will make it (The biggest chances I see for the young talent Borguľa and maybe Sklenárik to join him) to have at least a mixed relay, a full men relay hope is utopic Ski Mountaineering  (2) - Funny enough, probably our biggest medal chance is this niche sport with Marianna Jagerčíková in W Sprint, alongside her male partner Jakub Šiarnik we should start also in the Mixed relay     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (1) - There a fresh young czech import who can qualify us for the very first time in this sport, his name is Lukáš Steklý, but since I have zero clue about this sport I can not say how much it is also realistic though Short Track Speed Skating  (0) - Would be nice to have again a participation in this, we have a couple of talented young girls, but still far from the required level, so probably none again Figure Skating  (1) - The young Adam Hagara is our solid chance for participating, he will need a good dose of luck in the process though, and as knowing the good old mathematical laws about the equation between Slovakia and Luck it will end by Zero athletes     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (5) - 2 guys in Singles with the immortal Highlander Ninis, a pair in Doubles and at least one female should qualify, at least I hope so Skeleton  (0) - There one kid trying the stuff, but no chance unless he swithc nationality to Benin or Tuvalu for the free pass Bobsleigh  (1) - Viki Čerňanská I do believe shoud repeat her Olympic experience from Beijing in the monobobs once again     Team Sports   Curling  (0) - lol Ice Hockey  (25) - Embarassement and national mourning avoided, The National pride qualified again and continue the streak of never missing any winter olympic tournament since the independence. With very likely the most talented generation our hockey ever had, Cortina is a great journey we are looking forward. Hail to the god Slafkovský everyone         Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (57) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (30)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (50)
