panicked. what we know from data from south africa is there is some indication that cases involving this new variant may have spread rapidly and we know that for mutations and areas of concern with regard to the virus of the spike protein, the binding receipt toror areas and it is m transmissible, more severe and may undermine the effectiveness of our vaccines. we just don t know the degree to which yet or for certain if it does. what this does suggest, though, is that what we must be doing is redoubling what we should be doing heading into a winter surge of the already very contagious delta variant and focussing on those kinds of efforts we can control at this time. let s talk about this travel ban if you will to southern
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Finance Shaukat Tarin on Thursday unveiled Economic Survey 2020-21 and said that Pakistan’s GDP growth stood at 3.94 percent against the envisaged target of 2.1.
kind of redoubling down of the effort to find the answer of how this virus came into being in part because of ongoing frustration with the continuing refusal by beijing to allow further investigation by the w.h.o. into this matter. but in part because the intelligence community just still doesn t know. what we ve learned this week, they are split in between two main theories of how this virus came into being. one of them is that it developed naturally in the wild jumped from animals to people. and the other one is that it was the subject of research in this lab in wuhan and it escaped into the population through some kind of lab leak or lab accident. and they can t definitively prove either one right now. so what is going to be different about this push versus what the intelligence community was already doing? yeah, so up until now, the effort to kind of sort out the origin story here has been using
white house suggest that the w.h.o. should lead the effort into finding out the origins of the virus and not the u.s. reject claims that it shut down a similar probe initiated by the trump administration, and called for a redoubling of the effort to get to the bottom of the virus origin theory. despite biden s passing comments today the number of skeptics both in and outfit of the administration are growing. with many of them casting fresh doubt on the natural occurrence theory because no clear evidence of animal-to-human transfer has yet emerged. i can bet what they are going to find in 90 days. exactly what they found over the last 18 months. inconclusive evidence because china has been concealing the evidence and has probably destroyed a lot of it. that s why it s time to lower the boom on the chinese communist party. precisely the rote rick that has beijing seeing red. today they dismissed the lab leaked theory as a conspiracy
and janice, given that china is no friend of ours, how on earth does the intelligence community track this down? this is the golden question, i suppose, stephanie. it s one thing to order the intelligence community to come up with something. it s quite another to how to figure out how to access that data. there are obviously frayed diplomatic relations between the u.s. and china right now, during the trump, key positions were left unfilled. even now under president biden there still isn t an ambassador in place here. part of that redoubling of efforts may be continuing to lean on u.s. allies who may also want more transparency from china on covid s origin. every official or scientist that we have asked over the last year about opening up the files, opening up the data, archive, everything 2e wuhan institute of virology, has been flatly
