And yet Fauci and other "leaders" said this wasn't the case. The noble lie I guess. Much like in the same vein they have lied about surgical masks working. We have private emails from Fauci to a friend telling them surgical masks were worthless. But of course gov has to show it does something...so masking up became a thing.
Remember when the leaders and the press ridiculed those who said the virus was likely man made?
Leading British and US scientists thought it was likely that Covid accidentally leaked from a laboratory but were concerned that further debate would harm science in China, emails show.
An email from Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, on February 2 2020 said that “a likely explanation” was that Covid had rapidly evolved from a Sars-like virus inside human tissue in a low-security lab.
The email, to Dr Anthony Fauci and Dr Francis Collins of the US National Institutes of Health, went on to say that such evolution may have “accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans”.
But a leading scientist told Sir Jeremy that “further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”. Dr Collins, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage “international harmony”.
Viscount Ridley, co-author of Viral: the search for the origin of Covid, said: “These emails show a lamentable lack of openness and transparency among Western scientists who appear to have been more interested in shutting down a hypothesis they thought was very plausible, for political reasons.”
In the emails, Sir Jeremy said that other scientists also believed the virus could not have evolved naturally. One such scientist was Professor Mike Farzan, of Scripps Research, the expert who discovered how the original Sars virus binds to human cells.
Scientists were particularly concerned by a part of Covid-19 called the furin cleavage site, a section of the spike protein which helps it enter cells and makes it so infectious to humans.
Summarising Professor Farzan’s concerns in an email, Sir Jeremy said: “He is bothered by the furin site and has a hard time (to) explain that as an event outside the lab, though there are possible ways in nature but highly unlikely.
“I think this becomes a question of how do you put all this together, whether you believe in this series of coincidences, what you know of the lab in Wuhan, how much could be in nature – accidental release or natural event? I am 70:30 or 60:40.”

Was it a guilty conscience that prompted Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky to tell the world on “Good Morning America” on Jan. 7 that 75 percent of COVID-19 deaths occurred among those with four or more comorbidities?
If it wasn’t, it should have been.
Four or more? What would the percentage have been for those with a mere two or three comorbidities? Eighty-five? Ninety-five? Ninety-eight?
It couldn’t be more obvious that COVID-19 was a serious danger most of all to those who were very sick in the first place. The obese also had concerns, although that is rarely mentioned because not politically correct. And, alas, sometimes the recently vaccinated.
For that, we all had to be injected, masked up, locked down, and isolated for two years.

What else has our government inflicted upon is in the don Quijote like quest to eliminate the virus?
Only inflation which hurts those that can least afford it.
The latest inflation data, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed prices in December rose to a 40-year high, climbing 7.0 percent compared with the year before.
Cost/benefit.
Ever take those kind of classes dad?

The upcoming rain doesn't look like it will amount to much, but an optimist in me hopes that the basic weather circulation will shift so that the bigger storms come all the way down the coast and don't just turn inland in Oregon as they have been doing for the last 6 weeks.
RIGHT NOW, in the middle of the hottest part of the hottest day yet this year, when one would expect AC loads to be topping out, CAISO reports that almost 60% of the electrical demand is being met by renewable sources and that about 80% of that is from solar energy.
I have been searching for the impact of home solar systems on the state's electrical load but I have not been able to find hard data on that. Some posters have proposed that home solar systems don't show up in the solar energy supply numbers, but instead in the reduction in demand that is the result of homes with solar systems not drawing on the grid to run their AC.
