A new report by scientists at the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, China concludes that “the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”

One of the laboratories named in the report which was conducting research on bat coronavirus was located just 280 meters from the site of the Wuhan meat market.

For weeks, the media has demonized anyone who suggested the lab could have been responsible for the coronavirus outbreak as a dangerous conspiracy theorist peddling fake news.

However, now that CNN/NY Times journalist Ezra Cheung tweeted precisely that yesterday, one wonders whether they will begin to change their tune.

Buy ahead of this Thursday to qualify for a 23p dividend per share.

It’s positive to see that GlaxoSmithKline's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable.

Can't they just ban the ISP address FFS.

Yeah it's the Top AIM Stocks site - I think they are linked. I just report every alias to ADVFN problems thread

@DPlewis

Same over on Premier/Lloyds Bank and Aviva. Someone spamming these mysterious unidentified URLS (EG "Nice news

Probably "Directortalk" pushing their website.
They did similar when they first launched from nowhere.

I never click these unidentifiable URLs

[dplewis1] 16/2/2020 16:03

Spam link do not click - there's no broker note.

(No sign of being human engineered?)

"Scientist at the prestigious South China University of Technology in Guangzhou China. A pre-print published by Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao, titled "The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus" whose abstract is the following...

The 2019-nCoV has caused an epidemic of 28,060 laboratory-confirmed infections in human including 564 deaths in China by February 6, 2020.

Two descriptions of the virus published on Nature this week indicated that the genome sequences from patients were almost identical to the Bat CoV ZC45 coronavirus. It was critical to study where the pathogen came from and how it passed onto human. An article published on The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan.

We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory.

Our proposal provided an alternative origin of the coronavirus in addition to natural recombination and intermediate host.
... and an especially ominous conclusion:

In summary, somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus. In addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan"



(As to history of leaks:)


"China vows to put an end to "Lab Leakage of Pathogenic Microorganisms and various samples"

Seemingly providing more anecdotal evidence that the Covid-19 outbreak was caused by an accidental leak of a bio-engineered virus and not by some freak of nature in Wuhan's market, China's Communist Party has issued a serious "Wartime Order" demanding more care and containment be taken with virus handling.

Specifically:
“Strengthen laboratory management and resolutely put an end to the theft, leakage, and loss of pathogenic bacteria (poisons) and various samples...” <----------LEAKS


(To put an end to Lab leaks not only implies there have been Lab leaks, but categorically states there have been!)



China’s rate of occupational accidents is about ten-times higher than America’s, and some twenty-times more than Europe’s – the only other regions with high-level virology labs.

Beijing has had four known accidental leaks of the SARS virus in recent years,


(China has a history of Lab leaks as well FYI)



(What is very interesting and adds weight to concerns this was engineered)

The most notable finding. 
A genetic analysis of the spike-protein genes –&nbsp;the exact region that was bio-engineered by the UNC lab in 2015, where Zhengli Shi and Xing-Yi Ge previously isolated a batty coronavirus that targets the ACE2 receptor just like this 2019-nCoV strain of the coronavirus does –&nbsp;indicates an artificial and unnatural origins of the Wuhan Strain’s spike-protein genes when they are compared to the genomes of wild relatives.

The virus shows no sign of being human engineered.

Please show where “the lab has a history of virus leaks”. Credible source only

[crossing_the_rubicon] 15/2/2020 15:32

Hardly a conspiracy theory.

The BioLab is 280 metres from the market. Fact

The Biolab is a Virus one. Fact

The Lab has history of virus leaks and extensive work into Sars and the like. Fact


Which part is the Conspiracy?

[tradermichael] 15/2/2020 11:56

Conspiracy theories like that are spreading faster than the coronavirus itself.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 15/2/2020 11:10

Probably a better bet to get a spy into the Wuhan lab that is only 280 metres from Wuhan market!!!!

Five leading drug companies — Johnson & Johnson, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, Moderna, and Gilead Sciences — have announced plans to research and develop treatments for the new coronavirus.

'AstraZeneca warns of hit from coronavirus spread'


Pharmaceuticals giant AstraZeneca today warned that the coronavirus outbreak would hit its revenues.

The FTSE-100 drugsmaker said that, depending on the severity of the spread of Covid-19, total sales will increase “by a high single-digit to a low double-digit percentage” if it lasts a few months.

...Shore Capital analyst Adam Barker said: “AstraZeneca has been proactive in trying to forecast the outcome in its guidance, which is why the shares have come off today.

“In the event that it’s not as bad as feared, there’s an upside for the shares.” Barker pointed out rival GlaxoSmithKline had not attempted to quantify the virus’s impact in its revenue guidance.

I think splitting is a mistake. They have consistently shown themselves to be behind the top performers when it comes to progressing an innovative pipeline. They will miss that buffer when they no longer have it.
