Well here we are, nearly at the end of our country's first ever lockdown. 4 weeks or 289 days that at times have passed as slowly as a glacier but not seems to be tripping merrily towards a new phase of existence on this planet.

For me this lockdown has provided everything it said on the box. It has been just as good and just as bad as we were told to expect at the beginning.

Facing a global scramble for materials, British officials bought millions of unproven kits from China in a gamble that became an embarrassment.

LONDON — The two Chinese companies were offering a risky proposition: two million home test kits said to detect antibodies for the coronavirus for at least $20 million, take it or leave it.

 I don't believe the lab-created the virus, like some of the conspiracies, would have you believe (or not), however, there is evidence that there was a lab studying various versions of coronavirus since the SARS outbreak and a bit of evidence that it leaked from there via a lab technician who went to the wet markets... I can guarantee that this will be covered up by the CCP.

The W.H.O are being paid off by China to change the narrative of it all...
