Well sort of. No groups bigger than 10

Gyms and restaurants here on Thursday, but again must maintain social distancing etc.... Pretty sure they would have opened up bars if it hadn't been for South Korea having just had a bad trip.Birds in Hell wrote:Same here, though our playgrounds reopened a week or so ago.
Groups of 20, as well as restaurants and gyms, can reopen as of 8 June:

US-based pathologist Chris Martenson said a suspicious sequence of nucleotides in the RNA coding of the Sars-Cov-2 coronavirus appear to have been inserted as they do not occur in any of the close or even distantly related viruses.

Fauci, who is on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, told the wildlife magazine that COVID-19 likely originated in an animal and then transmitted to humans. He made similar comments last month during a White House briefing.
"If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species," said Fauci, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
When asked if there could have been a scenario where scientists found the virus outside the lab, brought it back and then it escaped, Fauci shut the line of questioning down.
"But that means it was in the wild to begin with. That's why I don't get what they're talking about [and] why I don't spend a lot of time going in on this circular argument," he said.
Unless the quote is incomplete, he isn't saying it didn't escape from a lab, he saying it cant be of both natural and artificial origin at the same time.Rob wrote:On the China lab theory, I'm gonna trust that Dr. Fauci knows more than the rest of us & the Trump admin. His answer is pretty much what McP said a couple pages ago.

He's also saying that it's irrelevant right now. It's one fuck up by one lab in a situation where there have been continual fuck ups by pretty much everyone.Bi_3 wrote:Unless the quote is incomplete, he isn't saying it didn't escape from a lab, he saying it cant be of both natural and artificial origin at the same time.Rob wrote:On the China lab theory, I'm gonna trust that Dr. Fauci knows more than the rest of us & the Trump admin.
