Now, light has been shed on the origin of the sledge dog. In a new study published in SCIENCE, researchers from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, show that the sledge dog is both older and has adapted to the Arctic much earlier than thought.

“We have extracted DNA from a 9,500-year-old dog from the Siberian island of Zhokhov, which the dog is named after. Based on that DNA we have sequenced the oldest complete dog genome to date, and the results show an extremely early diversification of dogs into types of sledge dogs,” says one of the two first authors of the study, PhD student Mikkel Sinding, the Globe Institute.

Bogus corona virus data

corona virus bogus data

I have a problem with this corona virus data.

The US has 4.29% of the world’s population. source: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-by-percentage-of-world-population.html
And we have (3081383 / 12118667) * 100 = 25.43% of the corona virus cases? source: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html note these numbers update frequently

NO WAY. This makes no sense at all. Unless there is a verifiable reason for this wild discrepancy, I simply do not believe these numbers.

I am not saying corona virus is not a problem or a threat. It is both.
