Not a subject that folks want to discuss I suppose, as it's on the news 24/7........BUT. I had a thought about C19
Suppose the virus is /has been around for a VERY long time, and has been released into ....say... a watercourse, from a melting glacier due to global warming.. I googled a bit, and found some interesting thoughts....
One group of scientists, including dendochronologists, have a theory. The Plague / Black death, swept across the country, and took out 1/2 of the population. I did not know that from 1356? it reoccurred approx every 30 years, until 1666!!!!!!! But the dendochronologists ?? studied tree rings from 1356/7 and found the trees hardly grew at all, suggesting that some bad stuff happened at this time, and a suggesting of a meteor / asteroid strike, around this time,that significantly altered the atmosphere, possibly a large cloud of dust, preventing growth by blocking out the sun, hence folks would have been suffering from malnutrition. Once it took hold it just kept going round the planet.
roll forward to 1918 Spanish Flu, thought to be brought to Europe by Chinese railway labourers, during the war. But massive ,continuous, multiple explosions, death, rotting corpses, disease, etc etc, was a breading ground for the Virus, This must have affected the atmosphere, hence the environment in which we live.
Roll forward to now, Wu Flu, Unprecedented global warming, a change in the atmosphere / environment , massive fires in Aus, raising temps, and clouds of smoke... melting glaciers, releasing who knows what has been frozen for millennia.............. Not looking good is it.
Am I being paranoid, and do other people think this deeply. .............................CABIN FEVER!
