Covid 19 origin(s)
I'm starting this thread so emerging info can be shared without clogging up other discussions or triggering others who wish to protect their dogma and/or egos. My own beliefs are being tested right now as what was once a conspiracy theory is now becoming more and more realistic as new information is made available.

Tell me how this thread will be any different from vaxi-nation, online dating, who's the boss, why haven't you been vax threads. We're going in circles here. If it's not one thing, its the other.

Pick the news source that has the version you already agree with and run with that. There are very few, if any, "facts" about the subject.
This will be my one and only comment on this subject.

As others have said, this is pointless of a thread.
But everyone is wrong. It's aliens.

This is my customized take on it.
Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Covid-19 In West Philadelphia born and raised On the playground is where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of Covid Carriers, who were up to no good Started being within 6 feet of me ( no good!) I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said, you're getting tested and quarantining with your aunty and uncle in Bel-Air I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my mask and sent me on my way She gave me social distancing and then she gave me my ticket I put my walkman on and said, I might as well kick it First class, yo this is bad Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of Bel-Air are quarantinin' like? Hmm, this might be alright I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said infected, and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, nah, forget it, yo holmes to Bel-Air I pulled up to a house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabby yo holmes, smell you later Looked at my demise, I was finally there To die on my throne as the Prince of Covid-19

Yep, as I said before, preemptive strikes by Martians. They've been pissed ever since we won War of the Worlds by using biological warfare.

It's China punishing us for detaining Meng Wanzhou. That's 5G from Huawei.
Joking aside, based on where the outbreak started, we can say the origin is highly likely China. That the same location happens to be where the only level 4 biocontainment facility in China exists seems far too coincidental. The origin of SARS and other related viruses were bats who are located approx. 1200 km distant from the outbreak location so that is an improbable source and no such species or others tested in the wet market locations appeared to be infected even though first reported infections were all linked to a second wet market the where the infected or their close contacts visited shortly prior. Interesting that 2 Chinese scientists were reported to have been fired from the Canadian level 4 biolab in Winnipeg. It hasn't yet been disclosed whether they had Canadian citizenship. Allegedly for disclosing information to the Chinese government. This is a lab where an ebola vaccine was developed, among others.

Fauci is hedging on its origins now. He wont rule out the man made possibility. It needs investigation

No joke, I have read that the Mars rover has been taking pictures of what appear to be fungus like puff balls appearing then shrinking then reappearing in some soil. The only other explanation I can think of is frozen Co2 which then sublimates as conditions fluctuate.

Not sure I follow. The Martians died from the cold virus. Maybe you are thinking of the lizard aliens from V? As I recall, water (which is an acid) was dangerous to them.

I enjoyed this podcast which touched on various covid related topics. I don't have much of an opinion because I don't know shit about the virus. Too many blog sites out there playing telephone with information that I don't care to fact check and vet sources.
