Hi Peter,

Wow, that article on the WU FLU by the Epoch Times is really scary if only some of it is true. Thank you for drawing it to our attention. I have since seen other references to it. Perhaps this virus is a wake up call for the West and the rest of the World. Time will tell.

I must admit that I did not bother watching it all but I watched enough to realise that it is highly biased reporting and, like all the best propaganda and conspiracy theories, takes some truths, a lot of unsupported assertations, and some outright untruths, all dressed up and delivered in a professional and authorative way to people (us) who do not have the necessary knowledge, access to the original documents, reliable translations, etc. to comprehend what is true and what is false. Unfortunately for their case their are some untruths that are relatively easy to uncover, one such is the release of the genome which has been made freely available together with sample to researchers. Once you understand that part of the report is BS the rest of it is thrown into doubt. If that was not enough the very language at the beginning of the video, emphasising the word "Communist" multiple times, immediately makes you realise that there is an extreme bias.

Such reports need to be treated with extreme scepticism. In reality the Chinese government has been quick to take action and shown that they are absolutely prepared to share information and knowledge. They have even gone so far as to send, biological samples, medical support and donate equipment, respirators etc. to help Italy and then other countries (even America).

There was an unrelated virus that was found to have originated in Australian Fruit Bats some years back. If I recall correctly there were few deaths and it did not develop beyond that despite a big scare at the time. If it had been more virulent we may have had a pandemic that started in Australia. Would you then blame the Australian government?

Personally I am more prepared to believe it is an unfortunate transmission from bat's to humans, perhaps because of cultural issues in China, but I am not prepared to believe in some escaped laboratory virus conspiracy theory. Unfortunately this is going to effect the way we have been living for some time to come let us just accept that we are all in the same boat and get on with learning to live with it. And hopefully defeat it!

By the way. Calling it WU FLU may be picturesque but it is derogatory and inaccurate, It has nothing to do with the human influenza virus.

It's taken a couple of weeks but I've finally taught the cat to fly.

No I would have blamed the Koala's they look like loving fuzzy little things that move about slowly and would not hurt a thing but underneath they are a secret society aiming to get man out of the ever reducing feeding grounds. Really they are communist sympathisers from an alien species. It must be true there was an entire Panorama program on it, oh hang on that's the one I am writing for next week.

+1 great pic!

Hang on a minute there is something much more deep fake news going on here. The picture of (by priority) the sausage roll, tomato ketchup and lots of radios is clearly adjusted and fake news. The ketchup is blue labelled, that's reduced salt? No one would put reduced salt ketchup with a decent sausage roll least of all Graham. They have infiltrated our ranks.

Oh sorry just building myself up to the needed level of indignant self belief so I can get into the script writing at true Internet/Panorama levels.

That’s something new I’ve learned, I did wonder why the label was blue, I didn’t even know such a thing existed, everyday’s a school day.
