While mainstream scientists continue to perform mental gymnastics to insist that the new coronavirus wasn't man-made, new research from scientists in China and Europe reveal that the disease happens to have an 'HIV-like mutation' which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus, according to SCMP.
Recall that at the end of January, a team of Indian scientists wrote in a now-retracted, scandalous paper claiming that the coronavirus may have been genetically engineered to incorporate parts of the HIV genome, writing "This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019- nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature," meaning - it was unlikely to have occurred naturally.
Fast forward to new research by a team from Nankai University, which writes that COV-19 has an 'HIV-like mutation' that allows it to quickly enter the human body by binding with a receptor called ACE2 on a cell membrane.

Other highly contagious viruses, including HIV and Ebola, target an enzyme called furin, which works as a protein activator in the human body. Many proteins are inactive or dormant when they are produced and have to be “cut” at specific points to activate their various functions.
When looking at the genome sequence of the new coronavirus, Professor Ruan Jishou and his team at Nankai University in Tianjin found a section of mutated genes that did not exist in Sars, but were similar to those found in HIV and Ebola. -SCMP
"This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV [the new coronavirus] may be significantly different from the Sars coronavirus in the infection pathway," reads the paper published this month on Chinaxiv.org - a platform used by the Chinese Academy of Sciences which releases research papers prior to peer-review.
"This virus may use the packing mechanisms of other viruses such as HIV," they added.
For those confused, what the latest scientific paper claims is that whereas the Coronavirus may indeed contain a specific HIV-like feature that makes it extremely infectious, that was the result of a rather bizarre "mutation." However, since the scientists did not make the scandalous claim that Chinese scientists had created an airborne version of HIV, but instead blamed a mutation, they will likely not be forced to retract it, even if it the odds of such a "random" mutation taking place naturally are extremely small.
As a reminder, the running narrative is that the new coronavirus lie dormant in bats somewhere between 20 and 70 years, then 'crossed over' to humans through and unknown species - possibly a Pangolin - before it emerged at a Wuhan, China meat market roughly 900 feet from a level-4 bioweapons lab.
And what were they researching at said lab? Among other things - why Ebola and HIV can lie dormant in bats without causing diseases.
According to the new study, the 'mutation' can generate a structure known as a cleavage site in the new coronavirus' spike protein, SCMP reports. "Compared to the Sars’ way of entry, this binding method is “100 to 1,000 times” as efficient, according to the study."
The virus uses the outreaching spike protein to hook on to the host cell, but normally this protein is inactive. The cleavage site structure’s job is to cheat the human furin protein, so it will cut and activate the spike protein and cause a “direct fusion” of the viral and cellular membranes. -SCMP
(a recent paper published by Dr. Zhou Peng of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, meanwhile, is "Immunogenicity of the spike glycoprotein of Bat SARS-like coronavirus.")

Chinese scientists have reported that the coronavirus ripping through populations worldwide is much more likely than its close cousin Sars to bind to human cells, as it contains unexpected genes which link it to HIV and Ebola.
The research comes from Nankai University in the north Chinese city of Tianjin. Published on February 14, it has already become one of the most viewed papers on the platform, indicating the massive interest both in China and abroad for the latest findings on the virus……………. -

2020-02-28 at 10:28 PM UTCSeems that cannabis might decrease lung damage in the event of a cytokine storm. This virus apparently can trigger those although it's less common with other types of viruses. In that case, cannabis can possibly help.
There's a drink that is fairly common, called HempD that would probably work. It contains miniscule amounts of THC but it's an essential oil extract product, so a lot of the other stuff may be useful. Those things make me sleepy after about ten minutes, super sleepy, so it may at least help with resting if nothing else. -

2020-02-28 at 11:15 PM UTCDidn’t read the OP, but I read like a month ago some scientific paper published in India said they found 4 strings in the protein sequence of the novel coronavirus that were also found in HIV.
Turns out 2 of those strings are also found naturally in other strains of coronavirus and the other 2 are found in thousands of other viruses, not just HIV. Something like that. In other words there’s a perfectly normal explanation for it.
Not saying this thing wasn’t man made, it could have been. More and more evidence seems to be coming out that points in that direction. But I’m not convinced about the HIV thing -

2020-02-28 at 11:31 PM UTCI definitely suspect that Coronavirus was an early stage bio-warfare agent which escaped out of Wuhan Institute of Virology, just like Zerohedge got banned from Twitter for alleging.
Unfortunately I also think that, just like with 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination, we'll never know exactly what happened. For instance the redacted pages from the 911 Commission report, the "Magic Bullet" Theory from the Warren Commission, etc. -

One thing that happens with both Ebola and swine flu is cytokine storms. The new research from a chinese university just points to it being (possibly( spliced with HIV for whatever reasons, probably just to make it more contagious.

Cytokine storms may be more common if it starts mutating enough, and it likely will because of how fast it's spreading. That means young healthy adults will die too, as with the swine flu.
Bad idea as a bioweapon I think since it would be difficult for even the creator to control. Not saying they wouldn't though. -

Since ADHD is so common these days.Coronaviruses are types of viruses that typically affect the respiratory tracts of birds and mammals, including humans. Doctors associate them with the common cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and they can also affect the gut.
These viruses are typically responsible for common colds more than serious diseases. However, coronaviruses are also behind some more severe outbreaks.
A weaponized cold.
Sounds like the scenario from tenchu 3 where you travel into the future to kill the evil CEO before he releases the virus. Too late -

Those diseases have no real association beyond a casual one with cytokine storms. That is how the Spanish flu killed, due to a mutation arising from the inverted way disease was spread during WW1 - where apparently the sickest were the most infectious as they were taken off the line - as opposed to today, where the sickest stay at home, so infect no one.
I have huge skepticism regarding that narrative.
Though viruses will evolve to be less and less problematic to the host organism - that is known.
Bioweapons aren't designed, they're researched. So you develop an infectious enough vector, then you attempt to add a payload. Biochemistry is still a field in it's infancy - and has been for 50+ years. -

2020-03-03 at 6:52 PM UTCThose masks won't generally do much good unless you coat the inside with something like oregano oil. That's how a lot of people survived the plague back in the day. May just reduce the severity if anything, but that's not a bad idea either. It targets the lungs, kidneys, liver (seen this in person),heart and stomach, mostly.
Mostly the lungs so constantly inhaling something that is really good at killing viruses but mostly harmless to the body isn't a bad idea. -
