A Chinese virologist whistleblower who fled the country after leaving her job at a Hong Kong university claims coronavirus was “man-made” in a lab – and the communist nation released the virus “intentionally”.
16/09/2020 Doctor Li-Meng Yan, who published a study undermining the origin theory that coronavirus naturally occurred, told Fox News it did not come from nature. “This is created in the lab,” she told Fox News. “China’s military discovered and owned the very unique bat coronavirus which cannot affect people, but after the modification became the very harmful virus. “I have evidence to show why they can do it, what they have done, how did they do it.
“And the thing is I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak. “I had my intelligence because I also get my own unit network in China.” In her research, the doctor said SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, shows “biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring zoonotic virus” and could be created in a lab in “approximately six months”.

This virus 'is costing us more than lives' it's costing 'our trust' | Sky News AustraliaThe coronavirus is costing Australia more than lives and hundreds and thousands of jobs, something else is being lost, particularly in Victoria, which is the trust in government and in the police says Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nHe said it is Victoria 'which sets the standard for brutality'. \n\nMr Bolt said he has seen scenes in Victoria in the past week which “I never thought I'd see here”. \n\n'Things are really changing, there's such a nasty change to the culture coming that I think we'll have to live with this for a long time to come'. \n\nIt comes as footage surfaced of Victorian Police threatening to arrest two elderly women on a park bench, and in another instance, police arresting a pregnant woman in her home during a police raid for her alleged involvement in organising an anti-lockdown rally. \n\nMr Bolt also said there were 'shameful scenes that suggest a police state in Victoria'. \n\n'Police used en masse to enforce a cruel lockdown which many citizens now think is so harsh and unjustified, so irrational that they will risk a $1600 fine to protest against it'. \n\nMr Bolt said there were 'riot police among the fruit and veg' at a recent anti-lockdown rally at the Queen Victoria Market. \n\nImage: Getty

Of course - but that's not the nature of this virus.\n\n'It's stubborn and we need to be as stubborn as the virus.'\n\nThe Victorian Premier said while case numbers mattered, the passage of time was 'frustratingly important'.\n\n'Numbers will continue to fall if we all stay the course. As they continue to fall, we'll have more options than we otherwise would,' he said.\n\n'We can't just get to a point in time where we're fractionally under that average... we need to wait a little longer.'\n\nVictoria recorded 42 cases and eight deaths overnight.\n\nImage: Getty

Andrews is responsible for the ‘most savage devastation’ in the world: Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the “know-all dictator” Daniel Andrews has overseen the most savage response in the world causing the most savage devastation, both financial and non-financial.\n\nMr Jones said his “heart bleeds” for Victorians as up to 1.3 million are expected to be on JobKeeper in the December quarter while contributing 723 of the country’s 816 deaths.\n\nThe state is also under extreme stage four lockdowns, including a unprecedented curfew which is set to continue until at the very earliest October 26.\n\nThe premier has based the restrictions on modelling which, against the outcry of politicians and professionals alike, his government has refused to release.\n\n“They won’t, because Andrews thrives on the psychology of fear,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“If this know-all dictator continues to get his way, Melbourne won’t reopen unless there is a 14-day daily average of fewer than five cases.\n\n“He (Mr Andrews) has been wrong on everything. Wrong on quarantine. Wrong on modelling. Wrong on lockdowns. Wrong on the response to the mess he created.\n\n“This is the most savage response anywhere in the world and the most savage devastation, financial and non-financial.\n\n“He has been told the modelling was wrong, the curfew is wrong, the lockdown is wrong, children out of school is wrong, and Andrews takes no notice.\n\n“The further tragedy for Victorians is, unless Andrews is forced to bear the full cost of the damage he has done, he will keep on doing that it.\n\n“Andrews can no-longer be allowed to do things his way.”\n\nImage: Getty
