This is what you said
VaChina knows this is a synthetic virus developed in a lab So it's either a bat virus that infected humans or it is a synthetic virus... or maybe not... we will see

I'm not buying a newer phone. App is useless if the phone is at home while I'm out. Even if I remember ed teh phone would I remember to turn on bluetooth ? Almost certainly not. The only thing the lockdown has changed for me is our weekly outing to the pictures and lunch. I am fundamentally anti social. Nowhere did I express concern about being tracked. I pointed out it's harder to track me than most people. Until this I always paid cash, and google can't track me if my phone is at home. They track my internet because I can't be bothered switching on my vpn very often. Every now and then I clear my cookies. Meh... Also the political sniping is getting old. It's diluting the signal to noise on this thread. Try to make it funny or something otherwise f it off somewhere else. We know you are fanatical cultists, we know you can't but help perpetuate your crusades, but if you must do it here at least try to make it entertaining. |

China seem awful nervous about investigations into this virus if it just came from a “Bat” in a wet market that has been investigated independently and shown to not sell bats..
Economic sanctions, clearly CCP supporting members commenting all over social media news articles blaming the USA, seeming to hold some kind of leverage over the WHO. If they aren’t guilty of anything they are doing a great job of making it look otherwise. |

So basically, for this app, the only info passed is a unique identifier of the app on the other phone and phone model and power level.

Is it just me or have others noticed that the Labor States are having lower numbers than the Liberal States (pro-rata of course)

The economy is in bad shape anyway and the public sentiment from what I can tell is very much on the side of backing govermnent. Don't waste that. There needs to be an investigation and using the economy to pressure us to back off (which they have done before but never such as this) has only ****ed people off more. |

It's amazing how strict the authoritarian styled social distancing is until it comes to schools. "We will fine you $1000+ if you visit a family member you don't live with, even if you maintain social distancing while seeing them. But get 30 random people from 30 random families and put them in a small room and it's all good. Even better when you get multiple people from these families and put them in with different groups of 30, mix up that contact as much as possible. Well, as long as the word "School" is written on the outside of the building, we're not stupid" Rules only matter when it works in the governments favour. Just a side note I'm not against the current restrictions. What I don't like is the inconsistency of both the Australian and NSW governments. I have been obeying all social distancing regulations since this started. I only go out to get groceries and go to work. While at work I keep away from people and I'm always cleaning everything obsessively. Quote:

There are some pretty slick tin foil hat designs around, once you start looking. Fedoras, yarmulkes, centurion helmets... Like the duct tape wallet, it sort of reclaims the territory.
I wonder how hard it is to spoof a Bluetooth signal. |

Western Spy Agencies Investigating Wuhan Scientist
by Tyler Durden, Tue, 28/04/2020 - 04:04 Western intelligence agencies are “looking closely at the work of a senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Peng Zhou,” as part of a joint international investigation into the origins of COVID-19, according to the Daily Telegraph. ![]() In a stunning expose, the Australian newspaper reports that “the Five Eyes intelligence agencies of Australia, Canada, NZ, UK and US, are understood to be looking closely at the work of a senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Peng Zhou, as they examine whether COVID-19 originated from a wet market or whether the naturally-occurring virus may have been released from the level four laboratory in Wuhan that was studying deadly coronavirus pathogens from bats.” As we reported in January – posting publicly available professional contact information and suggesting people ask him about the outbreak near his lab – Peng, head of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunization Group, sought to hire two post-doc fellows last November, who would be tasked with using bats “to research the molecular mechanism that allows Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses to lie dormant for a long time without causing diseases.” One press release from his lab was titled: “How bats carry viruses without getting sick.” Via the Telegraph: It can be revealed that Zhou — the head of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunity Project at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — spent three years at the bio-containment facility, Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014, where he was sent by China to complete his doctorate. During this time, Zhou arranged for wild-caught bats to be transported alive by air from Queensland to the Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Victoria where they were euthanised for dissection and studied for deadly viruses. His work was funded jointly by the CSIRO and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It examined bat immunology and the role of interferons and how “bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses, including many that are highly pathogenic to humans and other mammals” and “many of which cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other mammals.” Western intelligence is also looking into the work of the original “Bat Woman” Shi Zhengli, a colleague of Zhou who is the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As we reported in February, Shi notably co-authored a controversial paper in 2015 which described the creation of a new virus by combining a coronavirus found in Chinese horseshoe bats with another that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. This research sparked a huge debate at the time over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks. As Nature.com reported in 2015, the findings reinforce suspicions that bat coronaviruses capable of directly infecting humans (rather than first needing to evolve in an intermediate animal host) may be more common than previously thought, the researchers say. Zhengli also spent time in Australia as a visiting scientist for three months from February 22 to May 21, 2006 where she worked at the CSIRO’s top-level Australian Animal Health Laboratory. She used faecal samples of horseshoe bats to identify that they were the natural host for SARS-like coronaviruses. -Daily Telegraph Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that researchers at the WIV had collected bats in a cave over 1,000 miles away in Yunnan which carried COVID-19. Also disturbing is that the lab had been operating in part on a $3.7 million grant from the US government. The Mail on Sunday has learned that scientists there experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, which continues to licence the Wuhan laboratory to receive American money for experiments. –Daily Mail In mid-April, the Washington Post reported that the US State Department received two cables from US Embassy officials in 2018 warning of inadequate safety at Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was conducting ‘risky studies’ on bat coronaviruses, according to the report – which notes that the cables have “fueled discussions inside the U.S. government about whether this or another Wuhan lab was the source of the virus.” ![]() According to the Telegraph, the revelation comes as Australian politicians are ramping up pressure on China to cooperate with the international investigation into the origins of the novel coronavirus. Accroding to Andrew Hastie, Chair of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, “The Chinese Communist Party must take responsibility for the virus that began inside their borders and work with the rest of the world to prevent it from happening again. We are simply asking for transparency and co-operation.” Australia’s official position is that the virus likely originated in the Wuhan wet market, however they are now considering whether the virus escaped fom the Wuhan Institute of Virology due to human error – a theory which US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo endorsed last week when he told Fox News: “Look, we know it began at one [lab], but we need to figure this out.” (https://www.zerohedge.com/health/fiv...-hedge-january) |
