Chinese lab messing with genetics of corona virus?
(I'll let you find the links.)

You mean the place that the US funded the research and was Fouci authorized then denied it, Even though it is on his emails? That one?

Modifying RNA of a corona virus regarding furin cleavage site so it better infects mice and men does not meet the definition of "Gain of Function", according to experts on the subject. You do not know what you are talking about.

Yes ..... That one

When a group of conscientious doctors get together and make a YouTube video about their observations and treatment protocols for Covid that work.... and then Facebook "fact checkers" ban that video .... and then YouTube gets the word and takes the video down.
Are these Facebook keyboard warriors doctors? .... are they medical researchers? What qualifies these "fact checkers" to be qualified to be checking these facts?
Rand Paul is a doctor and he is the one who has largely been responsible for exposing Fauci ... He understands what is going on and how serious it is.
Why do these "fact checkers" fear people seeing these things? There are treatment protocols that work pretty well and could have been used to save a lot of lives .... Why would these protocols be ignored and the only focus be vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. Seems like every available tool should be used to save lives.

These "fact checkers" don't know diddly ..... they just have a progressive agenda .... and an agenda that intends to hide the truth so they can control the people who are too gullible to realize they are being manipulated.

But we are deforesting and destroying way more than we are regrowing and expanding forests nationally and globally.

Like so many young people, your facts are incorrect :
In the United States, which contains 8 percent of the world's forests, there are more trees than there were 100 years ago. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "Forest growth nationally has exceeded harvest since the 1940s. By 1997, forest growth exceeded harvest by 42 percent and the volume of forest growth was 380 percent greater than it had been in 1920."

More Trees Than There Were 100 Years Ago? It's True!

In the U.S., there are more trees than there were 100 years ago, according to the FAO. Chuck Leavell explains why.

In all fairness this is nothing new. Anytime a new crop of viruses emerge in a location the CDC either sets up a lab at that location or works with a partner in that location to further study the virus. We have joint Labs in i think Liberia that study Ebola and that was also setup by Fauci.

After the first Two Viruses broke out in Wuhan they partnered with the Chinese to study them and see what else they could possibly mutate into. If Fauci denied this it was probably a fear response because he was caught off guard. I have actually seen an interview with an American Scientist who worked at the Wuhan Lab and she said several Americans from the CDC worked there.

What is unclear is if the virus escaped from there, as it was not Sars-Cov-2 / Covid that they were working on it was Sars-Cov one the original version that had struck in 2002. If it was mutation that got released it was by accident. This Virus has not benefited China in any way and I get the feeling by time this is over with it will probably go down in history as the reason that accelerated China finally crumbling.

There is a lot of pent up rage against China right now, Akin to when someone hits your car and your kid is in the hospital. You can only think of the here and now but when things go back to normal you seek out that driver and sue the pants off of him. I expect that many countries are going to fully disengage with China in the future and for Chinese people living abroad it is not going to be easy at all.

My wife was talking to a teacher the other day and she said that none of the Asian students have returned to school. It's truly sad that we hold the people accountable for what happened. It's not like anyone held America accountable for the Spanish Flu.

All these "fact checkers" with seemingly unlimited power to squash anything they want by calling it fake news and banning it ..... this is just a not so sneaky way to limit free speech.

We need to wake up to how dangerous this is and take the power away from those trying to kill our freedom of speech.

Even Putin is able to see clearly what is happening in the US.

That is because 100 years ago we where in the biggest Tree cutting period of all time. That cutting is what cleared out the places for most of the cities across the country and the wood built millions of homes. If you go back 200 years in time and compare it to today we probably have about 20% of the original land as forests. That statistic sounds exactly like the kind Faux News likes to spread. These news organizations never put anything in context.

Maybe we should start with California and tear down all those cities and plant trees.

Yes it has always been best to plant a tree 20 years ago. Second best time is to plant today. (old Chinese proverb)

If you cut them every 200 years.... you get the use of the wood and 90% of the carbon sink.

You did look at the Video??
If you did you would realize that a 20 year old tree emits more carbon than it consumes. Its the trees that are 100s of years old that are absorbing the Carbon we produce.

How will we have more 100 year old trees unless we plant some today? A forest is not static. Left alone the forest will continually replant itself.

Did you watch the video? 20 year old tree is the changing point from emitting carbon to sequestering carbon. But it was not even wholly about the trees but of the open land that takes 20 years to cover with a canopy. Should we leave the ground bare?

Sadly I think it's too late for California. I suspect within the next ten years it will become a Desert.
On the bright side they will all be moving to Texas where they can exercise their right to vote and throw the housing prices up so high that the average Texan will have to move to Louisiana. (Just Kidding ? )

You seem like you have an axe to grind when it comes to the good ol' USA. Where is there a perfect country or people ?
We saw what was happening to the forests and we acted to correct it.
Try reading about Teddy Roosevelt and his conservation measures.

We need to stop cutting down the older trees and just harvest the younger 20 year old ones for now.
We also need to set aside a some of the Trees that are 20 years old right now as off limits so that they can get to the 100 year old point and add to the old Forrest land.

Good grief Dude, are you clueless ? What do you think Papermills have been doing since WW2 ?

And how does that change the fact that comparing the forest from 100 years ago with today is not a valid argument.
Thats like saying we have a lot cleaner air today than we had 250 million years ago. Yes it's true but your leaving out the part about the big asteroid that wiped out everything.

Now what Axe do I have to Grind with the good USA? I think I put in enough time working for the Good ol' USA.

.....but, in the video, they are talking about the key thing being the density of the canopy rather than the age of the tree ..... so, just plant with higher density and start culling trees later to make more room for larger trees.
Everything they talked about was also pine forests .... don't know if that is the same for trees that have larger leaves than pine.

You seem to love pointing out flaws that have no solution.
What's it like to be trapped in such a depressed negative outlook ?
100 years ago we realized there was a problem and we fixed it : By 1997, forest growth exceeded harvest by 42 percent and the volume of forest growth was 380 percent greater than it had been in 1920."
But it's never good enough for some people ?

I already pointed out the solution or did you not read the post?
What I hate is this statistical manipulation that is used by the media and the regurgitated by people on forums.
It's meaning nothing if it has no context! Two murders in a city is nothing but when the Media says murders are up by 200% from last year it's just them trying to make news where there is none.
