Trump will you please investigate the origins of Covid?
Trump will you please investigate the origins of Covid? Why did we put so much trust in the WHO and NIH? Why didn’t they just come out and say they didn’t know, instead of making educated guesses? People died, churches were closed down, kids missed school, do we even know if it will happen again?
I still see people at my local grocery store double masked & plastic gloves.

At a news conference this week, the World Health Organization made a surprising statement: The coronavirus could possibly transmit on frozen packages of food.
Embarek went on to say that scientists need to investigate further this possible route of transmission – and that frozen meat, perhaps frozen wild meat, could have sparked an early outbreak of COVID-19 last year at the Huanan Seafood market in Wuhan.
In particular, an outbreak in Beijing last summer centered around a massive wholesale market, called Xinfadi Market.
These results – and the statements from WHO — were a bit surprising, because they go against what scientists have been telling us for a few months now. That you catch COVID-19 primarily through the air, not surfaces. And you don't need to wipe down food packages.
"China hasn't had any reports of consumers, of even suspicion, of consumers being infected by this route," Goldman says.
"It's so rare as to be of negligible importance in the real world to most people," he adds. In fact, he says, you'd be more likely to win the lottery than get infected through a frozen package of food. "And it would have to be one of those lotteries with very few winners, like the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes."
So the original advice stands, Goldman says. You don't need to wipe down your frozen pizza box or wear gloves when you go to buy frozen fish sticks. And if you're still worried about packaging, he says, "Just wash your hands with soap and water."
