SARS-CoV-2 ANIMAL ORIGIN: The evidence?
What strikes me about the animal market spillover (zoonosis) theory is how hard it is to get a straight answer out of those claiming it’s settled science … when it isn’t. 🧵
@Muchfaster @lovmoz1 @R_H_Ebright @IntegralAnswers @Biorealism 2/ Proponents of “zoonosis” say there was a “spillover” at Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China selling (among other things) wild animals i.e. transmission of an animal coronavirus to humans in late 2019.
Why? Because most of the early cases in 2020 had links to that market.

“Last year, the bill for sick leave in Sweden came to 92 billion kronor …
That's just over 14 billion kronor more than the year before …
But Social Insurance Minister Anna Tenje cannot explain why.”
FAFO in action.
tn.se/arbetsmarknad/…2/ Hmmm … this is happening worldwide. Here’s a hint from Germany:
“Germans are becoming sick more often and for longer periods of time … Waves of corona infections are now rolling through the country several times a year … the consequences are dramatically underestimated.”

We can end the pandemic wearing N95 masks (respirators).
Yet another study using real-world data demonstrating that universal masking reduces transmission by *at least* 9-fold.
This would extinguish the pandemic.

Dr Richard Sear uses a conservative estimate of N95 filtering efficiency (90%). Real-world ‘exhaled breath’ data shows even better performance with non-fit-tested N95s: ~98%
which would then reduce transmission by a factor of 40
stopping the pandemic in its tracks.

AIR FILTERING:
“The problem seems to be one of translating success in the laboratory to success in real-life settings”
Why? Poorly implemented interventions deliver poor results. Like wearing a mask poorly.
