I find it very suspicious that China was able to complete genetic sequencing of COVID so quickly, normally it takes longer than it did that time. It's almost like they already had the sequence up and ready to go.

For the departed & friends & family. "O my Lord!" "dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount." ~ Baha'i Faith Prayer

I remember being in Bangkok during Chinese New Year 2020. Left Thailand on Jan. 22nd with thousands of Chinese tourists leaving with me. Got back home and two days later I was struck down with fever and chest infection for a week. Got it 2 more times later too.
