Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists and bite from Covid infected bat!

-

 Covid-19 pandemic started in Wuhan in China. This was in December 2019. But China continues to state that though the first cases of Covid-19 were detected in Wuhan, it never originated there. But the world wants to know the true answer of origin of the virus and hence the pandemic that brought the world to a standstill. WHO is investigating this matter. 

China and its denial of origin of coronavirus 

China has been persistent in its denial of Covid-19 in Wuhan. It stresses that though the first cases were detected there, they never originated there. They claim that it came into Wuhan from somewhere else. 

But the world feels that the wet markets are the source of the pandemic. Also, the other powerful countries of the world such as the USA blame the Wuhan Virology lab for the start of the virus and its spread to the outside world. WHO is investigating this matter. Initially, WHO was denied access of the lab but now they have been able to get inside and try to probe the viral origin.

Scientists and infected bats

There is a video that has surfaced bit it is two years old. It shows scientists from Wuhan lab working on Covid-19 bats in a cave. They are holding the bats and collecting samples for virological studies without adequate protection. They have no masks on their face and there are mo gloves to protect the hands. They are doing the tasks with bare hands. This is a breach of safety guidelines laid down by WHO for such animal studies. 

One of the researcher states that one of the bats had bitten him. Its fangs had pierced his rubber gloves like a needle. Could this be the start of spread of the virus from bats to humans??? Hope we have an answer so that such pandemics can be avoided in the future!!!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
