Is that guy to be trusted? If you scroll down his twitter feed it's nothing but antifa and hardcore liberals. Not a sane comment to be found.

Does he have a PhD? If so, listen to him. If not, no.
He makes a pretty big jump along with a p value that doesn't have any methods shown. I have no idea if he's got data to back this up.

Also, stop trying to get coronavirus to prove me wrong fucker!

Hes looking at virus proteins. Virus all over shows variation quickly at rather non important points (vaccines can still work, still attacks humans the same etc). With that, you can look an determine where the virus came from. it should be consistent with the person's history.
In this case, he's claiming the person just diagnosed is in the virus evolution very direct linked to a case 6 weeks ago. This would suggest this person caught it from that other case. But if there is no direct transmission, then that first case has been infecting a chain of others until now.
The thing is this is built on a lot of assumptions that you really need to be an expert to judge.

Looked him up. He's the real deal. Trust him like the virologists that determined this came from bats.

Trevor Bedford, Ph.D.
beyond bats...

what is this guy saying in layman terms in terms of spreadability?
and even lethality?

Just that it spreads fast and easily, and it has been spreading for quite some time now?

Nothing different there.
He's saying theres a 6 week chain, probably 1-200 patient outbreak unrecognized currently due to lack of testing.

Ok thanks

I speculate that it is all over the cucking place already...but that may be my pessimistic side speaking.

thanks for your time and input sir

You or I get the corona virus, I will pay you $20.

Neither of us get the corona virus you pay me $20

What's the timeline here? If the TV public health people are right, that this becomes endemic, then we are all getting it eventually.

Y'all need a cut off time.

We've already clarified that your meth can be tainted.
Wait a minute, you said my meth! Is this site spying on me? Sure, I use medical meth to calm my nerves from the far more hardcore drugs I take, but I have a doctor's recommendation!

Bats were found to have 400+ types of coronavirus in 2015. Unless the bet is specifically covid -19, this could be a lifetime bet (meaning many years, not mean in the survivor is the winner after the loser dies in 6 weeks).
