A fascinating interview with arguably the world’s foremost expert on astronomical bacteria and viruses.
Prof Chandra details the possible origins of COVID19 and also the main method of transmission around the world.
He looks at past viruses and looks at their speed of their spread versus the speed of transportation at the time, for example the speed of spread of the Spanish Flu around the world when air travel did not exist.
The fact that there were isolated outbreaks of the virus in various parts of the world at the same time, makes person to person transmission impossible to imagine.
He also goes into the research that has been done by him and others which shows the evidence for the cosmos to be literally full of viruses and bacteria.
It should be noted that Prof Chandra is not saying that COVID19 came from space, he simply makes the case that is not be any means unlikely and explains how and why it could happen.
He is more than happy to acknowledge the resistance his research has encountered over the years and how, over time, the evidence is slowly piling up in his and Hoyle’s favour.
Again a super fascinating interview which should expand the minds and horizons of anyone who is remotely interested in COVID19 and viruses in general.
The contorted explanations we hear regarding the spread of some viruses would make a lot more sense if the main driving force was actually the viruses falling to earth from the atmosphere.
