But today, our subject is the socialist party. The rise of socialism as a key element of american radicalism in the early 20th century. On a reading list, the chapter by michael casing gives a good quick summary of this moment in the various kinds of socialism at that time. From 1860 at least onward, there had been some kind of socialist presence in the u. S. But largely confined to immigrants from europe, particularly germans, english. The emergence of a mass socialist movement with a base in the u. S. Political system follows the final flowering of the 19th century radical tradition and the defeat of the populist party in the 1890s.

How an odd animal called the pangolin may be part of that answer. Its known as the most smuggled animal on the planet. Chinese researchers found a sick pangolin carried a version of that virus that is strikingly similar to the one that has changed our world. The pangolin is a scaly mammal that hunts for ants and termites in Subsaharan Africa and parts of asia. While it may appear to be an unlikely link in the chain of the coronavirus infection, chinese researchers discovered the virus in a sick pangolin was a close cousin to the virus that causes covid19 in humans. Some genes were a perfect match, and the spiked protein used in the virus to enter a cell was nearly identical. So, how could the virus move from a solitary bug hunter to humans . In january, an elderly man died in wuhan, china after suffering from what appeared to be flu symptoms. Suspicion grew around the live animal section of a market he visited regularly where bats are sold. Julia schaletzky bats live with a lot of viru
It started it. It essentially was the industry which was unpacking the biology of cells and understanding how those biology cells could be used to make new medicines, a little different from what pharma was an pharma in the past was essentially trying out medicines on animals and seeing if they work and then put them into a human being a Clinical Trial process once we understood how the genes work, once we knew how to manipulate those jeans, a whole new ability to transform what we knew about cells into medicines came into being. This was areal revolution , and about in the 70s and walked through to the 80s and then now today there are approximately a couple thousand companies, about 700 of whom are members of bio, many are private. They are now much smaller industries in the europe and in asia and actually, these Small Companies although they are tiny and they represent no more than any one of the Big Companies in terms of numbers, theyre generating about 70 70 percent of all the medi

President , the coronavirus doesnt come with a label saying made in china, but perhaps it should. This pandemic which began in wuhan, china, has flooded the world just like so many products from china that we all now rely upon to protect ourselves against the spread of contagion. The situation underscores the conundrum our nation faces balancing the need to work with the Chinese Government and the challenges of holding the communist Party Accountable for its devious deeds. Plain and simple, the Chinese Communist party attempted to cover up the outbreak of covid19 from the very beginning and continues to do so today. Rather than containing the
