Sometimes, it's funny to watch.

 

It went missing.

It wasn't missing, IMO those crooks stole it.

Still no evidence of lab origin conspiracy guys.

Genetic tracing of market wildlife and viruses at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic

Summary
Zoonotic spillovers of viruses have occurred through the animal trade worldwide. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic was traced epidemiologically to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Here, we analyze environmental qPCR and sequencing data collected in the Huanan market in early 2020. We demonstrate that market-linked severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic diversity is consistent with market emergence and find increased SARS-CoV-2 positivity near and within a wildlife stall. We identify wildlife DNA in all SARS-CoV-2-positive samples from this stall, including species such as civets, bamboo rats, and raccoon dogs, previously identified as possible intermediate hosts. We also detect animal viruses that infect raccoon dogs, civets, and bamboo rats. Combining metagenomic and phylogenetic approaches, we recover genotypes of market animals and compare them with those from farms and other markets. This analysis provides the genetic basis for a shortlist of potential intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 to prioritize for serological and viral sampling.

But I suspect that he and his fellow travellers will not rise to the challenge. The lab leak hypothesis has repeatedly failed testing. It is inconsistent with the evidence base and unscientific to suggest that you can substitute leading questions and speculation for actual data.

Quite the opposite -- it is usually viewed as 'proof' of the conspiracy.

The lab?

Sure, there is.
Most major Chinese cities have one or more active coronavirus laboratories. The Chinese government established these laboratories after multiple spillovers of the first SARS-CoV in 2002 through 2004.

Yes he does and that's a good thing that likely saved lives in the US and worldwide.

Nope, it's useless (facts don't matter in a conspiracy theory) and changes nothing. Done.

 

Sinking land, poisoned water: the dark side of California's mega farms

​

A U.S. Geological Survey scientist posed with a telephone pole in the San Joaquin Valley, California indicating surface elevation in 1925, 1955 and 1977. The ground is sinking due to groundwater extraction.

 

Sinking land, poisoned water: the dark side of California's mega farms​

From Wiki:

"Before California's flood control and aqueduct system was built, annual snow melt turned much of the valley into an inland sea."

California is awful regarding the management of their natural resources. It'd probably have helped to not dump their snow melt into the sea every year. But, who am I to say.

 

Boy not prosecuted over riots due to 'wrath' of parents


​

"And actually, we took the decision that the wrath that had been visited on that child by his parents was more effective than anything the criminal justice system could deliver."

 

More than 5,000 years of historical experience, and people are just beginning to learn about the downside of handouts?

Blue state county bucks trend on handouts – and homeless population craters

Due south of Denver's homelessness crisis, a Colorado county has nearly eradicated its own unhoused population with a simple message to its citizens: "Handouts Don't Help."
