Not trying to worry people about bed bugs, lice and hostels, but..... arthropod ectoparasites "Have Potential to Bind SARS-CoV-2 via ACE"
mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/4…
Although we do not have experimental evidence of infection in these ectoparasites, the predicted stability of the complex suggests this is possible, raising concerns of a possible role in passive transmission of the virus to their human hosts.

1. A harmless little essay saying that a Lab Leak is likely, on a Wikipedia Editor's own userspace...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ador…
Sudenly a clique of slugs (usual suspects) appears and demand its deletion!

2. The "anti-racist" keyboard warriors & their fallacies
"this fringe nonsense is promoted by a lot of racists, and we don't need that." Guy
3. "Delete, not only for policy reasons mentioned above, but its implicitly Sinophobic nature in pinning the blame for the virus on China, which ties into a larger trend of anti-Chinese sentiment in the wake of the pandemic."EuanHolewicz432

1. Heparan sulfate from bat & human lung & their binding to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus:
"We show that the spike glycoprotein of COVID-19 binds 3.5 times stronger to human lung heparan sulfate than bat lung heparan sulfate."

@Byron_Wan @rebelfd @daniel_bilar @Harvard2H @SharriMarkson @lukedepulford @JackHHazlewood @rpotter_9 @CharlesRixey @jimmy_wales Yep, we discussed Xu Dezhong's works in detail between July and October 2020 on & off Twitter

&

I found his analysis interesting (although based on US research) & I am not responsible for the conclusions of Gnews & Australian media
@Byron_Wan @rebelfd @daniel_bilar @Harvard2H @SharriMarkson @lukedepulford @JackHHazlewood @rpotter_9 @CharlesRixey @jimmy_wales 2. it cites a lot of US bioweapons Research and seems a reaction to earlier US bioweapons papers:

@Byron_Wan @rebelfd @daniel_bilar @Harvard2H @SharriMarkson @lukedepulford @JackHHazlewood @rpotter_9 @CharlesRixey @jimmy_wales 3. D. Kay, Genetically Engineered Bioweapons (2003). Available at

The Chinese may have been concerned about the US developing genetically engineered bioweapons to target Chinese ethnic people.

1. Confessions of a Monkey buried alive on Twitter
....for 15 months
I juggle a lot of information lately, sometimes 3000 tabs open in 30 windows, with frequent memory crashes as C drive fills up with data.
2. Please don't suggest "One Tab", I used that once and it completely trashed my tabs, that is for light weights.
3. I don't think anyone actually realises the time I dedicate to this investigation, 17 hours a day non-stop for 15 months with no breaks, OK, maybe 2 hours for a walk and swim.
