1/6 - “The theory that #COVID19 was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan “remains viable” and should be investigated further, a group of scientists has said.”
ft.com/content/818fc5…
2/6 - “An investigation into the origin of the pandemic carried out last year by the WHO and China found that infect via an intermediate animal host was “likely to very likely”. But that investig failed to properly examine if the virus leaked from a lab.”
science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
3/6 - “Only 4 of the 313 pages of the WHO report and its annexes addressed the likelihood of a laboratory accident. WHO director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus subsequently admitted that this was insufficient.”
4/6 - “[The scientists] added that “greater clarity about the origins of this pandemic is necessary and feasible to achieve”. Any future investigation should be transparent, objective and “subject to independent oversight . . . to minimise the impact of conflicts of interest”.
5/6 - ““Knowing how #COVID19 emerged is critical for informing global strategies to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks,” the letter said.”
6/6 - ““Theories of accidental release from a lab and zoonotic spillover both remain viable,” said the scientists, who work at universities in the US, UK, Canada and Switzerland.”

2/7 -Les Européens en plein déconfinement sont en situation de vulnérabilité, il leur faut d’urgence:
- atteindre une très faible circulation du virus,
- savoir rechercher toutes les chaînes de contaminations,
- empêcher le virus d’entrer sur le territoire,
- vacciner massivement
3/7 - A ce jour, Britanniques, Portugais, Finlandais et Islandais ont déjà atteints un très faible niveau de circulation du virus. Français, Allemands, Suisse, Italiens et Espagnols pourraient les rejoindre fin juin.

2/13 - “If the [US] administration wants to end the pandemic within the next 12 months, it must persuade or compel companies to share their knowhow with potential rivals in the developing world.”
3/13 - “The waiver was a huge step, but technology transfer needs to be next,” said Zain Rizvi, from one of the groups which led the campaign in favour of an IP waiver for vaccines. “The president needs to deploy all the authority and force of his position to make this happen.”
