Ugliness in the world
A non-viable mutant calf with a human-like head was born in Thailand. This is reported by the Daily Star. The calf has no fur, and its head resembles a human one. And the publication The Thaiger wrote that in Vietnam, during a difficult birth, an unusual calf was born. When the cow calved, the owners of the farm noticed that the fetus had eight legs, two tongues and three eyes. Its appearance resembles how the bodies of Siamese twins fuse. In Britain, a cow gave birth to a calf with a smiley face on its side. And a calf in India was born with a third eye on its forehead and an additional pair of nostrils.
"Leshii – (lesovik, leshak, lesnoy, lisun, lyad) – from the word "forest", people expelled from their tribe because of one or another deformity, which is very often observed in the animal world. Let's remember the tale of the ugly duckling. … In ancient Slavic pre-Christian beliefs, ghouls were one of the objects of worship (deification of ugliness): According to the Beginning of the Chronicle, the Slavs, first of all, worshipped Perun, offered sacrifices to "opirem and beregin". … Deformities – in ancient times, born freaks were either killed, deified, or exiled. The birth of deformed cubs is not common, but it is constant in both animals and plants, as well as in humans. For example, in 2007, a child with four legs was born in a village near the capital of South Africa, Pretoria. The disease, when a person is born with extra arms or legs, is called polymelia (from the Greek "many limbs"). The child was extremely unlucky, given that cases of polymelia are very rare not only in humans, but even in animals. A similar case occurred in June 2003 in Zambia. Then a woman living 300 km south of the capital Lusaka gave birth to a girl with four legs and three arms and an unusual liver structure. There are also cases of cyclopianism (from the Greek cyclops (cyclop) – "round-eyed"). Horned people – and such cases have been recorded, people's horns do not grow real, this is nothing more than changes in the skin – the epidermis, the skin "behaves incorrectly", taking bizarre shapes very similar to horns, they are removed, but they grow again, the reason for such genetic failures is unfavorable environmental conditions and heredity. And thick human hair, like in animals, is also a disease – hypertrichosis. This is a possible explanation for the unicorn (inrog), a mythical animal with a black straight horn on its forehead. One horn could be underdeveloped and therefore not visible, for example, in narwhals (unicorns) a powerful, spirally twisted left tusk sticks out 2-3 m in males, and the right tusk in the male and both tusks in the female are hidden in the jaws, only extremely rarely do they develop in males and females. Here we can also talk about atavism (from the Latin atavus – a distant ancestor), the presence of a tail and extra fingers (polydactyly), congenital fusion of fingers (syndactyly) and legs, multi-hairs (polymastia), etc. Dwarfs – gnomes (from the Late Latin gnomus – in the original meaning – possessing knowledge, gnomon – the oldest kind of astronomical instrument that gives certain knowledge), elves (English elf, dwarf, prankster; from German – elf, eleven), cobalt – a chemical element, the name from the German Kobold – brownie, dwarf; giants – trolls (in Scandinavian languages); brownies (various animals, for example, tarsiers or poppies brownies (ghosts), lemurs ("ghosts", "spirits of the dead", some lemurs fall into a physiological stupor during the dry season), dwarfs, freaks, invalids who could not hunt and guarded houses). Here, among various deformities, as well as animals, different peoples have different hobits, goblins, ghouls, ghouls vampires, kikimores (shishimors, maras (mary – mounds), in Russian folk beliefs – a female invisible baby living in a house behind the stove and engaged in spinning and weaving, perhaps crickets, spiders or other insects, in German Heuschrecke – locusts, literally – "hay horror"), etc. In addition, the coexistence of the human genus Homo sapiens with other species of humanoid creatures (hominids) has been scientifically proven. The tiniest horse in the world was born in 2010. in the US state of New Hampshire, the baby weighs only 2.7 kg with a height of 35.5 cm. It is noteworthy that the foal was not produced by a pony, but by a very ordinary mare. The previous horse record holder weighed 4 kg. Chimeras are creatures in which different genes (DNA) are artificially or naturally mixed and represent certain creatures. The deification of gorgons and chimeras can be observed on the pediment of Notre Dame in Paris" (Tikhomirov A.E., The origin of words and signs. The Science of Superstition, "Ridero", Yekaterinburg, 2017, pp. 19, 75, 150-151).
The origin of the Covid-19 coronavirus
A researcher from China has entered the sequence of the Covid-19 coronavirus into the database of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) The United States in December 2019, 2 weeks before Beijing officially notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about the virus. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal. From the documents of the US Department of Health received by the House of Representatives committee, it follows that on December 28, a Chinese researcher from Beijing, Lily Ren, uploaded an almost complete sequence of the virus structure into the database of the American government. Chinese officials at the time were still publicly describing the outbreak in Wuhan as viral pneumonia of "unknown origin" and had not yet closed the Huanan Seafood Market, the site of one of the first Covid-19 outbreaks. As the newspaper notes, the two-week gap in the WHO notification "seems to confirm claims that Beijing was hiding key information about the coronavirus." The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published a sequence "almost identical" to the one presented by Ren on January 10, 2020. Researchers from the University of Kent previously concluded that the first case of coronavirus infection probably occurred in China between early October and mid-November 2019, a few weeks before the first official covid patient was registered in Wuhan. Scientists named November 17, 2019 as the most likely date of the first infection. The first official case of COVID-19 in China was reported in December 2019 and was associated with the seafood market. However, the cases that occurred before this are not related to the market, according to British scientists. In a joint study by WHO and China, the transmission of coronavirus from bats to humans through another animal is called the "most likely scenario." Scientists considered the direct transfer of the virus from bats to humans to be a less likely option, and the spread through products to be "possible, but unlikely." The scientists also concluded that a virus leak from the laboratory is "extremely unlikely."
"An epidemic (from Greek, literally "to the people") is a continuous process of homogeneous infectious diseases following each other (an epidemic process), expressed in their significant spread in a community, locality, district, country. Depending on the greater or lesser number of cases of diseases, different degrees of intensity of the epidemic process are noted: 1) sporadic morbidity – single infectious diseases that occur in a locality without a visible epidemiological connection with each other (for example, in periods exceeding the incubation period of this disease); 2) epidemic outbreak – group diseases in a limited area (collective, locality, district) associated with a common source of infection; 3) epidemic – a significant excess of the incidence of this infectious disease in an area, region, etc.; 4) pandemic (from Greek, literally "all the people") is a strong epidemic, sharply exceeding in intensity the usual epidemic, spreading among the population in large territories, sometimes entire countries and even the whole world. However, the assessment of the intensity of the epidemic process depends not only on the number of cases, it is also related to the type of disease: for example, dozens of diseases in a locality with influenza are considered sporadic, and the appearance of even isolated cases of smallpox in the same locality is considered an epidemic.
