In case you did not hear about it already, China has uncovered another deadly virus that can affect humans. This time it’s the H10N3. A 41-year-old man in China’s eastern province of Jiangsu has been confirmed as the first human case of infection with a rare strain of bird flu known as H10N3, Beijing’s National Health Commission (NHC) said last week.
There are many different types of bird flu in China that affect birds, never human beings. All of this comes are new evidence has revealed that there may be a link between the COVID-19/Coronavirus and the Wuhan virology lab. Not surprising to many common sense people out there who understood that the lab is in Wuhan, China. The virus started in Wuhan. That means there is enough of a linkage to suggest that the COVID-19 came out of that lab, by intention or by accident.
Could it be that US and European scientists and health officials and policy makers knew this but did not want to spook former US president Donald Trump and cause him to do something rash against the Chinese? Perhaps they may have, but that is a wild assumption because that would indicate that hundreds of people were a part of a worldwide conspiracy. The thought of such logistics in keeping a secret like that is beyond human capability, especially in the days of leaks and informants.
What we most likely experienced with this COVID-19 worldwide outbreak is more akin to what happened on September 11, all of the information could have been interpreted in any way the beholder wanted it to be interpreted as- It could be terrorists bombing buildings, but it could be by truck and not by plane. It could be by plane, but not flying planes into buildings and so on and so on.
But this is an unhelpful digression. I just find it sort of funny how humans slink back into bad habits and comfortable heuristics even after catastrophe shows them different. It’s the way God made us.
But back to this new bird flu. Holy crap we don’t need another pandemic on top of this pandemic. Luckily we can almost be certain to scratch the Wuhan lab theory out of this bird flu, because the distance between Wuhan and Jiangsu is almost 700 miles and over 8 hours by car.
I just hope and have confidence that during the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic that health authorities worldwide will deal with this new bird flu more effectively and if they have to, force China to open up more and stop hiding information.
