Boris really has no option but to pursue this route.

SOG - there is no truth in the rumour that I've been petitioning to get Boris a holiday home on Gruinard. *ahem*, nothing to see here, move along......
HBD. I seem to recall that event. Twas several years ago now. Yes it does exist in soil as does tetanus which can prove to be fatal too. The way Anthrax gets into our system I believe is via ingestion and especially inhalation. Many years ago infected sheep were burned. Burying them alone proved to be no good. I seem to recall a dead sheep that had been buried 50 years previously still contained Anthrax in the decayed matter in the soil.
Dear old MOD and various other military establishments around the world developed it to a weapons grade. Some have been destroyed but some still stored in sealed vaults.
Hi SOG - just in case some reading your post begin to worry unnecessarily about anthrax, it is quite common in soil. Though I wouldn't recommend playing with it to see what happens - https://www.cdc.gov/anthrax/basics/index.html
Also, as I recall, I saw a science program where Dara O'Briain was swabbed to see what lives on our skin. A previously unknown strain of anthrax was found quite happily living in his navel.

Hi Citizen
Not really a conspiracy theorist but **** me, a institute of virology a few kms away from the alledged location of the outbreak which happened to be studying SARS Coronavirus.......mmmmm
The WHO fact finding mission raised more questions than provided answers.
China is known to play the long game and works in 100 year segments whilst the western world gets in undies in a twist every political cycle.
As SOG states - we may never know the truth
Morning SOG/Stoney/Thoth
I couldn't agree more and in many ways you've put down in words my thinking for the past few months; that tackling covid19 is not just a medical battle, but also a matter of security & defense. (I can hear the tin hat brigade fixing their bayonets as I type this!)
When one considers the defense budgets in addition to their pharma counterparts the mind truly boggles at the potential of a molecule that could help deflect not only what could be a current war-like act from a hostile power, but also help fight off future variations/mutations.
Pure speculation maybe, but real life can be stranger than fiction.
As ever, holding for gold.

I am also of that opinion myself ie weaponised virus.
Most bacterial diseases can be treated with exceptions, Anthrax to name but one and this still exists in storage. There is no cure for Anthrax and its spores can last for 50 years underground on a dead animal. Banned and absolutely illegal to keep with the exception of Military establishments. There exists weapons grade Anthrax!
Viruses as you know are difficult not only to detect but have the ability to spread and mutate. You are not nuts at all Thoth.
Cross mutations of viruses have been worked on for years in research labs, and is extremely difficult to achieve, as in the strive for survival one particular strain will prove dominant over the other.
It is not something achievable overnight. Alas in our lifetimes I doubt we will ever get to know the true origin.
The effects of the Covid 19 so far have taken a very heavy toll on peoples health physically and mentally, plus the financial consequences too, costs have been horrendous. The only benefitting economy as far as I can see is China. Is there declared figure of circa 90,000 cases of Covid 19 since the outbreak began in a population well over a billion people believable?

You may well be right Thoth. If 1801 preclinical continues to be successful and it looks like we are to be funded via AGILE, i suspect that Wimbledon Common will empty and here will be there new home for a tad. Charlie in all his guises and friends and relations will be like an avalanche of gibberish on here. It will be a new experience for yours truly should this come to pass. Suppose the question is should we call pest control to have the fumigated or should we lay out the red carpet as the build up a frenzy of mayhem and hopefully the share price. I always thought a lab leak was the more likely cause.
Without wishing to sound like a fruitcake.
I do think its a weaponised virus that escaped.
Most of the world is living in **** conditions similar to spanish flu 100 years ago. Poor sanitation. No free water. No free healthcare. Its not ****** to point out much of the world is a ****hole. Ive worked there.
Its not going away. Viruses die out when we get herd immunity (not happening). It gets less virulent (seems unusually to be going the other way). Or everyone dies. Again not happening.
So have another 3 or 4 years of it.
Utah been here long enough to post what he likes. If i was trading i think well get a massive c19 spike in the next 60 days. Pounds. Bank some. Reinvest after a retrace. But wtfdik. Gla
