So for the first time in 5 weeks. We have had a day with zero known infections. Confirmed or probable.
Fingers crossed we can do this for a week.

confirmation bias......not yours, right?
NSA has already confirmed that the virus is NOT engineered. But politicians love conspiracies 'cause
the paranoia fuels the vote.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I would like to point out that there is a difference between the virus being engineered, and the virus accidentally infecting someone who works at a lab known to study bat coronaviruses.

And how you can exclude that a lab employee can get infected in the Wuhan market?

I didn't.

While we're at it, passing through a lab after being collected from a human subject does not count as originating in that lab.

So I've been reading a bit about "Covid-Toe". Apparently a lot of infected, mostly otherwise asymptomatic but sometimes post-serious-illness, get rashes on their feet or hands, most commonly on their toes. Red or purple, a bit swollen and often painful and/or itchy. Could be a handy clue for finding cases that don't otherwise present.
