Or maybe whoopsie that on reflection led the authorities (authoritarians) that slight population hit and sharing with the world (western Europe, north America specifically) had more benefits than drawbacks.

Another possibility is Iran, working closely with China labs, snuck some out for jihad but spilled some on themselves, then same conclusions as above.

Either way, The Joker Smiles, The Devil Dances.

And we are being subjected to this huge Chinese propaganda push that they are out there saving Western countries.

I think at the very least they let the virus spread without warning the world because they didn’t want to be the only country economically impacted. That’s the kind of regime they are.

Lots of Persian (and prc chinese) Biochemistry foreign students have taken up American seats at major USA top universities. Many Iranians are descendants of our friends back when we were allies but not as many since the 90’s.

The reparations would be in the trillions. That’s a lot of barbies and cheap Walcrap. They’ll never admit it even when proven.

Trump didn’t deliberately deem this the “China virus” and intimate that (financial) retribution was due just because. Pompeo backed him and Boris has previously gone along that line too. Much as some were up in arms over it, these people know stuff most don’t.

“Boris Johnson’s government reportedly believes the coronavirus may have accidentally leaked from a Chinese laboratory”

“reportedly” ... meaning no one has any real idea, but some other media outlet made some shite up first, which means we are now free to report on that made up shite ourselves ...

Well, as was once said of a Miami sports team owner, is even more true for the China: If they could tell the truth and it would do them good, they’d lie anyway.

The constant Chinese lies are going to keep getting this more and more traction and it is going to have some huge ramifications for their economy even when we return to normal.

>>A UK Parliament committee on Monday accused the Chinese government of spreading “disinformation” about the origins of the virus.

we know that the Chinese government spread disinformation:

- obscured the first cases in November 2019
- forced scientists to destroy their samples
- did not inform the world in a timely manner
- did not impose travel restrictions until it was too late
- said that human to human contact would not spread it (CDC echoed China’s talking point)
- China has said this was of US origin

whether this escaped from a lab or was even deliberately unleashed or naturally occurring, it’s clear that China has repeatedly lied

Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel

>>But it’s terribly impolite to accuse China of this act.

China has already made this accusation against the US.

FChina.

>>I’m pretty sure Trump feels that it was biowarfare. Sounds like the UK feels it was biowarfare.

This is the only justifications that I can see for the lockdowns and closing the economy to boot. That there are things they saw or knew that we are not privy to yet.

But what if you release your bug after already developing a vaccine and antibody test. You vaccinate the people you favor ahead of time, say the Politburo, their families and friends, then if it comes back, you let your deadwood die and save the rest you feel like saving, looking like heroes to boot.

It’s a statement that makes you think about the possibility without making any charges. People will decide for themselves and should.

"Perhaps it is no coincidence that there is that laboratory in Wuhan," one UK government official told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

The Communist Chinese have played their attack on the West brilliantly. They have brought the greatest, strongest country in the history of the world to its knees in less than a month ... and without firing a shot (or a missile). And there remains widespread disagreement on how long America will stay paralyzed. It's clear they know us better than we know ourselves. 26 posted on 4/4/2020, 10:28:38 AM by glennaro

Earlier last week Tucker Carlson did a segment on the origin of the coronavirus. Carlson, who has been pretty aggressive in his coverage of the virus, pointed out a Chinese research paper (since pulled by the author) which claimed the virus could not have arisen at the Wuhan wet market because the horseshoe bats where the virus arose were not for sale at the market. In fact, the bats are not naturally found anywhere within 900 miles of the market. However, bats were being studied for viruses they carried in two labs including one just a few hundred meters from the market.

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~!

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.
