Just saw this - not sure I noticed it a the time
I struggle to know how to choose between different experts in an area I have no expertises - my imperfect instinct is to trust the side that is less sure that they are right - I think in this case that is (the scientific concensus ?) that it is more probably zoonotic but could have possibly come from a lab
I notice that Richard H Ebright (who favours the "lab leak" theory) and was mentioned extensively in the BMJ article says recently
"All informed parties and persons--without exception--have known for five years."
which implies that most of the relevant scientific community are knowingly lying

Well worth a listen.

My initial reaction to the first few minutes is that arctic canoeists on a keto diet don't have much in common with the western obesity epidemic!
Exercise does make you lose weight. Thunderf00t provided all the scientific calculations and tests to prove the relationship between what you eat, what you breathe and what you do. This will give you a better explanation than anything from the BBC.Interesting and valuable insights. Why exercise won't make you lose weight, but why it is nevertheless essential to good health.

OK, there is a lot of talk about engineered viruses, but if you look at the most deadly flu virus, named the '*Spanish flu' which killed possibly up to 100 million people, that was not engineered.
So we can at least say that natural viruses are extremely dangerous.
And with that understanding, its fair to say that the covid one could be naturally occurring and still be extremely dangerous to human health.
Interesting info titbit -
* Spanish flu, was first recorded in the US, namely in Kansas. So it should actually be called American flu.
Titbit 2
Did you know that foot and mouth was also first recorded in the US. It is understood to have originated in the stockyards of intensive cattle farming**
** Intensive farming, like the type of intensive farming you see in China(after all, they have a hell of a lot of people to feed) Which suggests that the covid virus could well have developed somewhere intensive farming happens.
This plays away from the notion of an engineered virus that somehow escaped the lab.

Thanks for the link Peter.
I read the article you referenced.
It suggests that there may have been a natural zoonotic transfer into a human variant in the wildlife trade in racoon dogs prior to the outbreak.
Alina Chan and Matt Ridely's book, 'Viral', looks at this idea, and the questions that jumps out at me were asked by them too:
If the virus mutated among animals being farmed or captured from the wild, why has no animal reservoir ever been found that was circulating on farms or in the wild prior to the outbreak? Despite diligent searching, no such population reservoir has ever been found.
If prior to the outbreak in Wuhan, people were handling wild, or farmed animals which were infected with Sars-Cov-2 (which we know is extremely infectious to humans) why has no group of workers been found who were infected in those trades prior to the outbreak in Wuhan?
This is the smoking gun for me, alongside the obfuscation and control imposed by the Chinese authorities.
The fact that Sars-Covi-2 was found on swabs in the market alongside animal DNA in January 2020 simply means that Sars-Covi-2 was all over the place by January 2020. We know of course that they sold racoon dogs in that market, so there is no surprise that both kinds of dna were there, We knew that already. By then the virus was all over the planet. I expect you could have found the virus by then in Borough Market in London too. It was found in sewage in South America in late 2019.
Quote from the article you referenced:
"The limitation of the work is that market samples were not taken before the market closed around 1st January 2020 and the pandemic viruses are thought to have arisen 4-6 weeks before this date. The virus results are what one might expect to find had the pandemic originally arisen around a wildlife market stall or stalls – but they cannot provide direct evidence of this simply because of the sampling dates."
I'm sure you picked this up yourself when you read it.
What interested me about that part of the programme was that the Arctic Canoeist made two trips:
He canoed six to ten hours a day, and camped for a month up the west coast of Greenland eating a primeval diet of seal, fish and meat and went from 90 kilos to 75 kilos. He was making extreme levels of exertion each day
He returned to the UK and rapidly regained the weight he had lost.
Then he returned to Greenland, sat in a hotel for a month and ate seal flipper, fermented birds and the previous innuit diet and did no exercise and again he lost the same amount of weight in a month - dropping from 90 kilos to 75 kilos.
He did no exercise and lost the same amount of weight.
It was the diet not the exertion.
This is in line with scientific knowledge anyway.
Exercise is nevertheless vital to our wellbeing. It just won't make you lose much weight, because the body compensates for calories used up in exercise by shutting down other processes.
I think it is well established that the western obesity epidemic is caused by the over consumption of cheap carbohydrates, in manufactured foods that are high in sugars particularly and also high in fats. To my mind, over consumption of sugars and their close relative, refined starches, are the bogeymen.
Which soft drink has the highest sugar content?

I suspect that hunger and good palatability are also at play. In the canoeist's case, I suspect that some of those bizarre foodstuffs are probably inedible unless starving, so weight loss until hunger kicks in would not surprise me.
In my pre-Christmas low exercise period each year, I put on 3 to 5 kg simply from mince pies, and it stays on until my first major trip of the new year.
The weight gain is from eating what I want instead of what I need, and the loss from much more exercise combined with generally eating less than when I am inactive.

Yeah - I'm no saint either. I just called in on my partner, both of us having resolved to stop eating rubbish - though neither of us do eat a lot of it anyway.
She offered me a nice filter coffee and then a shortbread biscuit of the rather tasty sort. I ate the biscuit, thereby undoing much of the good my 10,000 step morning walk had given me. 'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.'
I don't have the advantage of the extreme cycle explorations that are part of your life though so I can't afford these lapses as you might with your mince pies.
EDIT:
Yes on the point of palatability and walrus meat or worse, the so called 'fermented' Inuit foods (rotten). I think though that a lot of his weight loss whether paddling on one trip and sitting around in a hotel on another was down to the almost total lack of carbohydrate in the diet. Yes - we convert protein into carbs in our own body, but he wasn't eating it as carbohydrate.
YES - on inflammation. The article mentions inflammation 81 times.
I can foresee a massive class action against the purveyors of this cra p sometime in the near future.
