Florida braces for 5,000-mile-wide stinky seaweed blob -- and a toxic algae bloom

A toxic algae bloom known as a red tide has been killing fish along the Gulf Coast and southern Florida, kicking up the stench of decay.

Now, a massive blob of seaweed twice as wide as the U.S. is drifting across the Atlantic Ocean and could wash ashore in Florida in the coming months, creating an even bigger mess. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/florida-braces-for-5000-mile-wide-stinky-seaweed-blob-and-a-toxic-algae-bloom/ar-AA18LxPJ

(it’s twice as big as the USA & it doubles EVERY month. Expected in July so HOW BIG will it be in July?)

Over on CBS news they just reported double billing by Wuhan Lab to US

The U.S. government may have made duplicate payments for projects at labs in Wuhan, China, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), according to records reviewed by CBS News.

"What I've found so far is evidence that points to double billing, potential theft of government funds. It is concerning, especially since it involves dangerous pathogens and risky research," said Diane Cutler, a former federal investigator with over two decades of experience combating white-collar crime and healthcare fraud.”

Fauci on CNN - could be manipulated " a bit"

Fauci on CNN Newsroom

JUST IN – Fauci Now Says A Lab Leak Could Still Be Considered As Coming From Natural Origins

"A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab, and was being studied in a lab, and then came out of the lab. But if that's the definition of lab leak, then that's still a natural occurrence.

The other possibility is someone takes a virus from the environment that doesn't actually spread very well in humans, and manipulates it a bit, and accidentally it escapes or accidentally infects someone and then you get an outbreak.”
