WHO now says Coronavirus did not come from China

"The visit by the WHO team took months to negotiate. China only agreed to it amid international pressure at the WHO’s World Health Assembly meeting last May, and Beijing has continued to resist calls for a strictly independent investigation."

I wonder why? Well actually I don't . The next time the truth comes out of China will be the first time.
 

I could not care less about where the virus came from, the virus is here, people should deal with it. Playing the “blame game” may make certain people feel better but it is a useless enterprise. The virus got here from another country because our country FAILED to act in time to stop the spread.

The virus spread, rapidly, because the American people FAILED, to follow medical advice and still FAIL to follow sound medical advice and the science. The virus continues here because Americans talk too much about the virus and do too little to control the spread.

If you/we need someone to blame, blame yourself and your fellow Americans. Stop blaming CHINA whose country and people have suffered as well, and whose government controlled the spread of the virus in their country much better than ours has.

I AM REALLY TIRED OF THE HATERS. Just stop, God will judge you harshly, IMO.
 
The subject line for this thread says:

WHO now says Coronavirus did not come from China​


However, that is not what the article that the OP linked says. The article says that the virus was not leaked from a lab in China. Big difference. Also, early reports had said that the virus came from conditions in live animal markets in China. I did not hear the "leaked from lab" theory until much later in the COVID news cycle, and even then it was not taken seriously the way it was reported merely in passing.

As is usual for me, I agree with 911: Without evidence, we can choose what suits.

It just got out of control.

???? I never said it was leaked from anywhere. All I said was that the article did not say the virus did not come from China, but instead that it wasn't leaked from a lab. I also said that when I heard reference to it, it was not taken seriously. I am not sure at all what you think you are replying to.

I was suggesting that it was accidental, sorry to have upset you.

Since I am not a medical person, nor have I ever been to China, I can't speak from personal knowledge regarding much of anything about the virus. All I can do is make comments based on what I read. I never had the impression that anything I had read or heard took the rumor that the virus was leaked from some lab seriously. I don't know who started that rumor, but I would think that person had a good laugh at how gullible some people are.

If anything, I am surprised that such a rumor got any traction here in the forum, or that any credible news outlet or magazine would bother with it either.

Also, I found it odd that the subject title of this thread had nothing to do with what the article actually said. So these are the things that I commented on. Your response quoting my post surprised me because it was seemingly from out in left field somewhere, and certainly having little to do with what the post you quoted actually said.

Not sure what you're all hopped up about. He wasn't saying you said it leaked, he was just replying to what you quoted. I tend to agree with him. It has nothing to do with you.

Where do you get "hopped up" from? I spoke conversationally. Forums can get weird sometimes because most of the clues we use for communication are missing - facial expression, tone of voice, and body language. If we were speaking face to face, you would readily see there was nothing "hopped up" about it.

There are ways to communicate "hopped up", none of which I used. Exclamation points and using al capital letters are the two primary ways of doing that. He used an exclamation point, I didn't. Neither of us used all capital letters, which has long been understood to indicate shouting.

Also, if it has nothing to do with me, then why quote my post? Do you understand that if you quote somebody's post, you are replying to that person? If you post without quoting anybody, then your post stands alone. If he had done that, it would have made more sense to me and probably to others who understand how posting works.

When I have quoted a post, in my response, I will state specifically a part of my post that is not directed to the post I quoted to keep that separate from my response to the quoted post.

I agree with what he said, but disagree with it as a response to my post.

You posted this: The article says that the virus was not leaked from a lab in China.

He responded to that, which was about the article, not anything you said. It was pretty obvious to anybody with any reading comprehension that he wasn't saying you said it. The ???? followed by your response gives the impression you were a bit miffed. Go read it again, it sure looks that way to me. But you're right, it's harder to understand someone's intent in writing.
 
I might add that Mike also apologized for upsetting you, so he obviously took your post to mean you were miffed. Because that's the way it read. You say otherwise and you know, so end of story.

Question marks (to me) indicate baffled or questioning because I don't understand the context of what was said, not miffed. We just view it differently. Can we leave it at that? I am not "miffed" at you or him, so let's just stop. We won't agree on our respective interpretations, so there is no point in going around and around. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your point of view, and hope you feel likewise toward me.

Thanks,

Tony

That's what I meant by "end of story" You said you weren't miffed and you know so that ends it my view.
