    We've already covered this long ago. There seems little doubt that there was gain of function. This COVID is not 100% natural.

    There are those that still claim the lab leak is a conspiracy theory. Nurse Fauci for example.

    People with zero medical or genuine scientific training are now virus and pharmacology experts by looking stuff up on the internet. So why not become plastic and cosmetic surgeons by looking stuff up on the internet? What could possibly go wrong? If it was JM I guess he could leave a torch inside?

    https://www.theage.com.au/national/delta-more-deadly-than-national-plan-assumes-20210920-p58t9c.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1632134335-1&utm_source=headtopics&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=2021-09-20

    The research team whose work underpins Australia’s pandemic exit strategy believes the Delta strain of the virus is significantly more deadly than they assumed when the national plan was adopted.
    While the science has been settled for a while about Delta being more infectious than previous variants of concern, at the time a Doherty Institute-led team was commissioned to provide COVID modelling for national cabinet it was less clear whether it was also likely to cause more severe illness.
    That debate appears at an end, with both the Doherty and the Burnet institutes adopting the findings of a Canadian study showing unvaccinated people infected with Delta are nearly twice as likely to end up in intensive care and one-and-a-half times more likely to die as people who caught the Alpha variant.
    The Doherty modelling, prepared in July and updated last month, assumed Delta was no more virulent than Alpha.
    University of Melbourne Professor James McCaw, a member of the Doherty team, confirmed that assumption would be ditched.
    “At the time the Doherty work was done it was very clear that Delta spread more quickly and that is incorporated in the work, but the evidence that Delta was more severe in terms of clinical outcomes was either scant or certainly, unsettled in the international community,” he said on Tuesday.
    “As scientists we update our understanding based on available evidence. It is now far more clear that Delta is more severe and so work and forecasts of potential hospitalisations, when we get to that stage, would account for the increased severity of Delta.”
    The implications of this for the national plan, which advocates the staged lifting of lockdown restrictions once 70 per cent and 80 per cent of the population are fully vaccinated, are yet to be worked through.
    The changed assumption about Delta, the COVID-19 strain driving the current outbreaks in NSW and Victoria, is already reflected in Burnet Institute modelling released on Sunday by the Andrews government showing that, even with a cautious easing of lockdown, demand on hospital and intensive care beds could outstrip supply and up to 3000 people may die from the virus.
    Burnet Institute deputy director Margaret Hellard said she felt “comfortable” referencing the Canadian research, which was consistent with evidence emerging on the ground in Sydney and Melbourne hospitals.
