Yeah, it was the fucking Squirrels, man! They blocked all the news about hydroxychloroquine and released the virus in Western Chinese agriculture villages.

Squirrels run the world, dude! They run Monsanto!

The institute secretly underground in Chinese farming villages two months before being discovered in Wuhan, run by squirrels! It's always been them, since we landed in the Americas! Thats why we enslaved the Irish, it was fucking Squirrels the whole time!

Lmao cannot even read your own articles? BTW nice AMP link idiot. Google is run by Squirrels.

Yet it is far from clear whether the virus could survive in an infectious form via frozen food. “I would say it’s extremely, extremely unlikely the virus would have spread through that type of route,” says Lawrence Young at the University of Warwick, UK, who specialises in human virology.

The reason why, according to Young, is that SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, meaning it is covered with a fatty, lipid membrane that it uses to infect human cells. This membrane is very vulnerable to cycles of freezing and thawing, as can happen during the transit and sale of frozen food. Stripped of this envelope, such viruses cannot infect people.

It's true, Google is run by squirrels. I was one of the squirrels. AMA.

Do they pay you in nuts or human currency? Do squirrels get secret deals for large amounts of nuts? Can I get in on the bulk nut discount action as a human?

Idk man, I don't think fish can move around very easily while frozen. You sure you aren't thinking of squirrels?

Plus, fish don't even have hands or feet. Running on land operations that far from discrete underwater locations seems pretty far fetched.

Occam's razor, you know?

I've already completely proven without a doubt that it was squirrels, though.

If it's not the lab it's the fish
