Famous Chinese Headlines from 2019 that didn't age well...
"The Emergency Response Exercise, organized by the Executive Committee of Military World Games, was held at Wuhan Airport. It simulated a passenger found to be infected with the novel coronavirus" chinascope.org/archives/21681…
Another headline that didn't age well....
Virus Origin: Henan Province Issued an Order to Safely Manage Laboratory Animals chinascope.org/archives/21658…
1. "During our investigation we established that it was possible for the live virus strain to enter the site effluent drainage system. We judged it likely that waste water containing the virus, having entered drainage pipework, then leaked out & contaminated the surrounding soil"
2. "This conclusion is supported by evidence of long term damage and leakage, including cracked pipes, tree roots breaching pipework, and unsealed manholes. We also believe that excessive rainfall in (month) may have increased the potential for virus release from the drain.”
3. "In particular, vehicles associated with ongoing construction work had relatively unrestricted access to the site. In our opinion, these construction activities - very near to the effluent drainage system - are likely to have caused disturbance and movement of soil"
