Indian study finds nCoV looks artificially modified to include HIV components.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses.
Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests ...
that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be
fortuitous in nature.
We shouldn't jump to conclusions, but it's interesting.

With Biden nearly out of the game Trump is getting ready to nail the Democratic Party colors to the socialist mast. Sanders will provide the nails.
The big weakness of the institutional Democratic Party was that it behaved like Boss Tweed but spoke like Joe Hill. Sanders is the ghost of Joe Hill haunting the Hall.
The phantom from the 20th century's socialist apostolic age.

The failure of both the Mueller investigation and the impeachment serially showed the limits of the liberal project. Nothing weakens a cause worse than initiating two fights and going zero for two.
Winning the argument but losing the fight is a consolation prize that no one can afford to be awarded too often.
Each loss fuels left-wing despair and each defeat drives the despairing further left in search of some cure at the far extremity of radicalism. Mueller and impeachment fueled the rise of Sanders.

"It is fair to conclude that the Democratic Party’s center is panicking."

The last bitter fruit of Hillary Clinton's 2016 debacle.
All that talk about Russian collusion only to nominate, or favor nominating, Bernie Sanders.

Durante la semana, varias notas irresponsables de Zero Hedge, que ya fue suspendido de Twitter, decían que un millonario chino estaba detrás de la epidemia y hasta revelaron información personal.

“Where did the 🦠 come from?” is one of the most asked questions. First, I don’t like unsupported conspiracy theories, but it’s a lingering question. @sciencemagazine examined this based on Lancet article. Nobody knows, but seafood market isn’t whole story sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/w…
2. Again, no outright conspiracy theories please. Here is another explanation: The new #coronavirus is an RNA virus—that is, viruses that have RNA as their genetic material rather than DNA—which have a “high mutation rate,” which allows it to “change properties very quickly.”
3. The RNA sequences of the #coronavirus isolated from 6 patients from the same household are different from each other (Lancet), sign of the virus evolving. This may not be so good to the ear; it suggests the difficulty of containing this virus”. (from m.theepochtimes.com/china-underrep…)

CDC confirms additional cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus in United States

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today confirmed additional TRAVEL-RELATED infections of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the United States, this time in Arizona and California.
These patients recently returned to the U.S. from Wuhan, China, where an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus has been ongoing since December 2019. This brings the total number of 2019-nCoV infections detected in the United States to five.

BREAKING: Experts from China’s CDC in Guangdong now published a Jan 25th report that new #coronavirus has “higher pandemic risk than SARS”!!! They based it on R0 analysis from new data vs SARS. This is quite alarming if true. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2) Here is China’s Guangdong CDC’s graph directly comparing R0 of the new 2019-nCoV with SARS during initial outbreak (using two approaches). “R values of 2019-nCoV were 2.90 & 2.92... while the corresponding R values of SARS-CoV were 1.77 & 1.85” (from biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)
3) How is SARS most different from the new #coronavirus? SARS was never contagious when someone had no symptoms. But the new #WuhanCoronavirus **can be transmitted** even when no symptoms! The former US FDA Commissioner Dr Scott Gottlieb confirms it.
