I keep getting a feeling this is man made. a malaria cocktail to resolve a cold air flu virus.
Ive read about this theory elsewhere as well. But, Ive Also read (in regards to this virus) about Vit D, cytokine storms, avoiding elderberry, nose hairs/vs no nose hairs - to name a few. Theres so much medical discussion out there.
Your concerns are warranted. I wonder the same. I watched a video conference of some gene-splicing scientists who were experimenting with creating life by building RNA stands from simple sugars. Not just splicing together living cell components, but actually trying to build a cell from A, C, G, T chemicals derived from sugars. They were trying to kick-start life and have the cells reproduce. This had nothing to do with virus creation. More to do with eliminating the middle-man in creating goods, which is what living creatures do. Mimicking plants and animals ability to create foodstuffs, and just growing the end-products in a lab from man-made cells.
Anyway, one of their concerns was about contamination from an outside virus spoiling the man-made cells, and mutating it to something destructive that gets into the outside world. The video was from four years ago. And that was about scientists working on good purposes; there are other scientists using the same technology for not so good purposes!
So yes, what if this new virus was purposely man made? (Just speculation at this point.)
