🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Britain's intelligence agencies are helping the US investigate whether Covid leaked from a Chinese laboratory.

The move comes after Joe Biden ordered US intelligence officials to "redouble" their efforts to identify the origins of the virus

Right from the start, there were two plausible explanations for where the Covid virus might have come from.

1⃣The virus jumped naturally to people from some animal host

2⃣The virus escaped from a virus research lab
🦇"Yet for the past year mainstream media around the world have ignored this common sense possibility in favour of the scenario that the virus jumped naturally to people from some animal host" says Nicholas Wade

🛸 Ever since Britain's UFO desk was disbanded in 2009, no agency has been responsible for monitoring our skies for unidentified flying objects.

However, a senior defence source has revealed that there is a possibility this could change

Thread 👇🧵

🛰 It all depends upon the findings of an upcoming UFO report from the Pentagon.

The US government is taking aliens increasingly seriously.

🇺🇸 Next month, Congress will be given an unclassified report on UFO evidence from the Pentagon’s Task Force

telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/05/2…
🇬🇧 But what about Britain?

The source said: "If there was enough evidence to suggest that there was something, and that we needed to do it as well as the US, then of course we'd think about it...There's all sorts of things that we wouldn't rule out"

Do you have:
📌£33,000 salary
📌Five good friends
📌Two children

If you answered yes... you have cracked what scientist believe is the formula of happiness

Thread ~ 🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
⁉️What is the secret to happiness?

It is a question that has plagued philosophers since the dawn of time.

Acording to a neuroscientists at University College London, the answer could lie in the equation:

➡️(t)=w0 +w1∑j=1tγt −jCRj +w2∑j=1tγt −jEVj +w3∑j=1tγt −jRPEj
⚖️It roughly translates to mean that to be happy we should lower our expectations – but not so low for so long that it makes us unhappy.

Research found happiness depends not on how well they were doing,

🙌But on whether they were doing better than they expected
