These can be screened for improved function in the case of enzymes, or increased virulence in the case of viruses and bacteria.

On this premise, they looked for evidence of an already known virus that could have been used in the engineering of SARS-CoV-2. Since they failed to find that evidence, they stated, “Genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone.” But Dr Antoniou told us that while the authors did indeed show that SARS-CoV-2 was unlikely to have been built by deliberate genetic engineering from a previously used virus backbone, that’s not the only way of constructing a virus. A well-known alternative process that could have been used has the cumbersome name of “directed iterative evolutionary selection process”. In this case, it would involve using genetic engineering to generate a large number of randomly mutated versions of the SARS-CoV spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), which would then be selected for strong binding to the ACE2 receptor and consequently high infectivity of human cells:
“This selection can be done either with purified proteins or, better still, with a mixture of whole coronavirus (CoV) preparations and human cells in tissue culture.

There is, incidentally, another possible way that COVID-19 could have been developed in a laboratory, but in this case without using genetic engineering. This was pointed out by Nikolai Petrovsky, a researcher at the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University in South Australia. Petrovsky says that coronaviruses can be cultured in lab dishes with cells that have the human ACE2 receptor. Over time, the virus will gain adaptations that let it efficiently bind to those receptors. Along the way, that virus would pick up random genetic mutations that pop up but don’t do anything noticeable:
“The result of these experiments is a virus that is highly virulent in humans but is sufficiently different that it no longer resembles the original bat virus. Because the mutations are acquired randomly by selection, there is no signature of a human gene jockey, but this is clearly a virus still created by human intervention.”

As Black Lives Matter protest efforts continue across the United States , numerous prominent black voices have pushed back against the movement ’ s emerging demands to defund or even dismantle police departments across America .

As Black Lives Matter efforts persist, prominent black voices push back on anti-police politics
‘I think we need more police,’ Trayvon Martin’s mother argues
By Daniel Payne | Just the News
As Black Lives Matter protest efforts continue across the United States, numerous prominent black voices have pushed back against the movement’s emerging demands to defund or even dismantle police departments across America.
Protests against police have raged across America’s cities since the killing of Minneapolis resident George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police was captured on video in which a police officer knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd screamed, “I can’t breathe!” In the weeks since the incident, the country has witnessed mass demonstrations, destruction of statues deemed historically offensive, and sometimes violence against police officers.
In recent weeks a new slogan — “defund the police” — has sprung up among activists. Black Lives Matter has made the issue front-and-center on its own website.
While the drive to defund the police has quickly caught on among liberal-leaning activists and demonstrators, a number of prominent black leaders and advocates have spoken up in recent days, urging a more measured, thoughtful approach to regulating police forces around the country.
‘Nobody is going to defund the police’
Democratic Rep. James Clyburn (Pictured) (D-S.C.), the House Majority Whip, said last week that the demands to strip police departments of their funding would come to nothing.
“Nobody is going to defund the police,” Clyburn told CNN. “We can restructure the police forces. Restructure, re-imagine policing. That is what we are going to do.”
Clyburn is not beyond criticizing the police: He spoke sharply of police behavior in the death of Atlanta resident Rayshard Brooks, who was shot and killed by an officer after pointing the officer’s Taser at him. “I was very incensed over that,” he told CNN. “This did not call for lethal force.”
But “the fact of the matter is that police have a role to play,” he said. “What we’ve got to do is make sure that their role is one that meets the times, one that responds to these communities that they operate in.
Erroll Southers (Pictured), a former FBI Special Agent and counterterrorism expert who teaches homeland security at the University of Southern California, wrote in a USA Today op-ed that “removing federal, state and/or local funding from law enforcement will not achieve the change we want. In fact, it could make things worse.”
Despite having witnessed “firsthand police abuses and brutality” during the civil rights era, Southers writes that he has also seen “the positive impact police programs and outreach have in supporting safe, strong communities.”
Cutting police budgets, Southers writes, could very well bring an end to those outreach programs.
“As angry as we are at the systemic problems in American law enforcement, we must be careful to preserve what is good in the profession while rooting out all that is bad,” he says.
‘We need … better ethics and better work habits.’
Sybrina Fulton (Pictured below) also disagrees with the new demands to strip police of funding. Fulton is the mother of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old black teenager who was shot and killed by Florida resident George Zimmerman in 2012. Martin’s killing set off a nationwide flurry of activism similar to, though nowhere near as intense as, that touched off by the death of Floyd.
Fulton, who is running for district county commissioner in Miami-Dade County, said earlier this month that the country needs “more police.”
“We need police with better standards, and police with better ethics and better work habits,” she said, adding that she “want[s] to bridge the gap between the law enforcement and the community.”
Injecting a note of biting humor into the debate, meanwhile, former Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker said this week that those who want to defund police departments should travel to places that don’t have any law enforcement at all.
“For all these people who don’t want any police, I’d love to meet with American Airlines, Delta, and Southwest and make a deal to fly them to countries that don’t have police,” Walker tweeted.
Former New York Giants safety Jack Brewer also criticized the new anti-police frenzy sweeping the country.

“I just think the rhetoric has gone too far,” he said.

Gunfire has reportedly erupted for the second night running in the controversial ‘autonomous zone’ created by Seattle protesters, leaving at least one person hospitalized. Police are investigating reports of multiple shootings.
One person was transported to the city’s Harborview Medical Center following an alleged shooting inside the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) on Sunday night, Seattle Police said, adding that the force was looking into unconfirmed reports of a separate incident involving gunfire in the area. Local media, citing a hospital spokesman, claimed the victim was in “serious condition.”
CCTV footage posted to social media purportedly shows the moment when violence broke out. More than a dozen loud bangs – believed to be gunshots – can be heard as people in the street run for cover.

A streamer named Shawn Whiting also caught the incident on camera. A clip taken from his Twitch stream shows him walking down the street before a series of shots sent him scrambling for safety. After retreating behind a concrete barricade, Whiting explained to his viewers that there were “a lot of gunshots” and calls for medics. An unidentified man then approached him from behind and asked him if he was armed. Whiting replied that he didn’t have any weapons, at which point he was instructed to stay where he was and told it wasn’t safe to try to flee the area.
