Double Virus Threat Revelation

Dr. John Day, M.D. tells Congress

Woman Tulsi Gabbard that we'll need 6 billion doses of chloroquine to treat coronavirus in the US.

Dr. John Day, M. D. reports about the recent revelation regarding the newer "L" strain explosion in Wuhan, China, as follows:

The new coronavirus information yesterday was that there are 2 strains, with different fatality rates. The original "S" strain continues to spread through China, where the data was collected, and causes fewer fatalities. It is less aggressive of a pathogen. The newer "L" strain exploded in Wuhan, and appears to have been responsible for most of the deaths there. Of course we still don't know the real numbers, but most estimates are vastly higher than official numbers, and based on cremation rates.

These 2 strains are significantly different, and the rapidity of the arising of the very differently mutated L strain suggests that it entered the ongoing epidemic in Wuhan, and transformed it into a horror-show. The Chinese authorities may have been acting upon the milder illness of the first S strain wave for their early decisions, leading into Chinese New Year. Of course I wonder what strains are circulating where in our world, but I also really wonder where that deadly L coronavirus strain came from.

The question of how this lab virus got into human circulation is still unsettled in public discourse. I do not believe pangolins got it from bats. This new information again brings up the question of "accident" or "attack" and it is now a 2-pronged question.  Whether the initial novel coronavirus S type was accidental or offensive, I really must favor the second L type coronavirus being an offensive attack. The killer wave came at a particularly vulnerable moment, with China having set the defensive response way too low. The aggressor could be assured of deeper penetration and more damage, once the defense was set as mainly-propaganda.

How may China respond? To whom might China respond in kind?

(The article below carries on with the approved narrative that these strains are naturally occurring, but points out that "neutral site" mutations diverge by 17%, a vast divergence in regions of the genome, which are not subject to evolutionary selection pressure as viruses multiply and spread. This excludes a natural series of mutations as cause.)

Population genetic analyses of 103 SARS-CoV-2 genomes indicated that these viruses evolved into two major types (designated L and S), that are well defined by two different SNPs that show nearly complete linkage across the viral strains sequenced to date. Although the L type (∼70%) is more prevalent than the S type (∼30%), the S type was found to be the ancestral version. Whereas the L type was more prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan, the frequency of the L type decreased after early January 2020. Human intervention may have placed more severe selective pressure on the L type, which might be more aggressive and spread more quickly.

I  often refer to Dr. John in this Blog, and I thought it is about time to let you all know who he really is.  In my almost 85 years I have been looked after by many doctors but only three of those I considered to be a Doctor's Doctor, and Dr. John Day is one of them.  As the picture shows, when Dr. John Day talks people pay attention.
