Flinders’ University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky says it’s proving difficult to explain how COVID-19 was “clearly perfectly adapted to humans from day one” which is not typical in a virus which has spread from wild animals.

Professor Petrovsky has completed a scientific study, currently undergoing peer review, in conjunction with La Trobe University in Victoria, which found COVID-19 was uniquely adapted for transmission to humans, far more than any other animal, including bats. He told Sky News this highly unusual finding left open the possibility that the virus leaked from a laboratory.

Although unconfirmed, it is widely believed the deadly virus originated from a live animal market in Wuhan, but Professor Petrovsky said when facts are uncovered which “don’t seem to fit what people are saying, then you’re obliged to make them public somehow”. “This virus is amazingly adapted to humans and that’s not normal in a situation where a virus has come from a wild animal to a human.

I think the only people who are not convinced that China is at war with Western democracy are our leaders. This has surely got to be a very strange situation that highlights either incompetence or, more likely, corruption at the highest levels. COVID19 COVIDー19 CCP Huawei

johnmknox When was Day 1? Twenty years ago? How would we know?

China had been engineering coronaviruses for years to infect humans. They go to bat caves to take guano samples. The horseshoe bats that this is said to have came from weren't sold on the Wuhan wet markets. It's likely to have accidentally leaked from the lab. Time will tell.

The virus is a result of lab-experiment but may not be deliberately lacked.

Super funds caught out to be ‘a little over exposed’ during COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Corey Bernardi says the Industry super funds which have become a “Union\u002FALP money printing machine” have been caught a “little over exposed” by the government's decision to allow early access to superannuation.\n\n“The Union\u002FALP money printing machine that has marketed itself as having lower fees and superior returns has been caught a little over-exposed”.\n\n“Their ‘superior performance’ is assisted by juicing up investment valuations on illiquid assets”.\n\nMr Bernardi pointed to the 26 industry superannuation funds who own ME Bank where because it is not listed on any stock exchange “even when profits go down, the value of the illiquid asset goes up”.\n\n“It happened again last year; profits dropped around 30 per cent but the revaluation increased by 5 per cent; and that’s just one of many illiquid investments industry super funds put your money into and it helps explain how they always seem to produce such good investment returns”.\n\nHe said this is why when the government announced early access to 10,000 dollars of super, the industry super funds were “caught a wee bit short”.\n\n“When coronavirus suddenly reversed the flow of money, the tide went out on industry super and believe me it’s not a pretty sight,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty 'contributor' Do you guys actually do any news bulletins or is it just 100 arseholes all with the same opinions repeated ad nauseam?
