Chinese virologist accuses Beijing of coronavirus cover-up,

flees Hong Kong: 'I know how they treat whistleblowers'

Well, if they treat people like the Uighurs in a terrible fashion, I guess she was right when she took the decision not to stay in China any longer. Probably she would have been another victim of the virus like Li Wenliang.  

Chinese defector virologist Dr Li-Meng Yan

publishes report claiming COVID-19 was made in a lab

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/la...1600232678

Doctor Li-Meng Yan, a scientist who studied some of the available data on COVID-19 has published her claims on Zenodo, an open access digital platform. She wrote that she believed COVID-19 could have been “conveniently created” within a lab setting over a period of just six months, and “SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus”.
“The natural origin theory, although widely accepted, lacks substantial support,” Dr Yan writes in the report.
“The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus.”

Well, the defector had studied it with her colleagues and were amazed at how impossible this combination of features could appear on a natural virus. What other virus has demonstrated to be this potent and able to mutate and affect as many organs as SARS-CoV-2? It can severely damage your lungs, your brain, yes, your brain as well, your heart, your intestines, your kidney... Not even ebola nor the plague nor AIDS can do that!

You didn't know Covid-19 could also hurt your brain cells? I guess you'd need to read the following article.

The new coronavirus can infect brain cells, study finds

The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can sometimes hijack brain cells, using the cells' internal machinery to copy itself, according to a new study.

The research, posted Sept. 8 to the preprint database bioRxiv, has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, but it provides evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect brain cells called neurons. Although the coronavirus has been linked to various forms of brain damage, from deadly inflammation to brain diseases known as encephalopathies, all of which can cause confusion, brain fog and delirium, there was little evidence of the virus itself invading brain tissue until now.
While setting up shop in infected cells, the virus also caused metabolic changes in nearby neurons, which were not infected. These nearby cells died off in large numbers, suggesting that the infected cells might steal oxygen from their neighbors in order to keep producing new virus, the authors noted.
Finally, in the mouse experiments, the authors genetically modified one group of mice to express human ACE2 receptors in their brains, while another group of mice only bore the receptor in their lungs. The first set of mice rapidly began losing weight and died within six days, while the second set did not lose weight and survived. In addition, in the mice with brain infection, the arrangement of blood vessels in the brain changed dramatically, presumably to redirect nutrient-rich blood to "metabolically active hot spots" where the virus had taken over, the authors wrote.

This virus is definitely a killer. Let's hope nobody's neurons get infected at all.

The district attorney claimed the woman didn't pay attention to what was happening on the street because she was watching the Voice on her phone. There was no other mechanism to change the direction or activate the brakes automatically. Now the court should figure out if they can really let autonomous cars be tested on public roads.

Seattle police disperse Grand Hyatt protests sparked by fake press release

Protesters have been dispersed by police Tuesday evening after gathering at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Seattle.
The unrest was sparked by a press release that appeared to be from the hotel claiming to offer shelter for the homeless as dense smoke from nearby wildfires has led to hazardous air quality in the area.
A spokesperson for Hyatt told Fox News that the hotel did not distribute press release and would be investigating the matter.

They gotta be evil as to play with the homeless people's feelings that way.

Jose Ometeotl was put on leave pending an internal investigation, Lynwood City Councilman Salvador Alatorre told Fox News following the council's closed session meeting Tuesday night. Alatorre put forth the motion to discipline or dismiss Ometeotl following his personal Instagram post that read "chickens come home to roost" after two deputies were shot multiple times while sitting in their patrol vehicle Saturday in the nearby city of Compton.

Only an idiot would mock the police like he did on Instagram.

They seem to have killed Gabriella Ardon but a judge set them free. By the way, Wulfo, you should care about that for sure!

Orellana-Hernandez was arrested by the Prince George’s County Police Department in January. ICE lodged a detainer the day of the arrest, but it wasn't honored and he was released, the agency said.

He could be back in PG County by now.
