As British Prime Minister Boris Johnson struggles with his own case of the Wuhan virus, the British equivalent of President Trump’s virus task force no longer dismisses out of hand the South China University study saying the virus likely leaked from nearby viral research labs as some tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.
Boris Johnson's British government now has official doubts that the accepted conventional wisdom that the virus spontaneously combusted from an obscure bat sold at a nearby “wet market” but which is in fact indigenous to a region some 900 kilometers distant from Wuhan that the locals do not in fact consume as food. It is seriously considering the at least equally likely possibility that the Wuhan virus escaped from one of the nearby viral research labs.

“Escaped”?
Another country finds the wet market virus origin story too implausible.
DNC most affected.
China is circling the wagons now.
Soon nobody will want to have anything to do with them.
I await the international move by all G20 countries to extend diplomatic recognition to Taiwan, and to the Tibetan Government in exile.
So it’s unlikely the disease was caused by a bat from a cave 550 miles away?
The purpose of the ‘wet market’ is to supply second rate food cheap... And they aren’t importing bats to a region that also doesn’t eat bat soup?
Gads, what a shock... /s
Some are still in nice mode, I say let’s cut the BS from the equation.
It is simply impossible to find out. The Chinese definitely aren’t talking, and anything could have happened.
In any case, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. We have to deal with the problems we have. In the future, the Chinese will be trusted by no one, and that will damage their business model just as their population starts to age rapidly.
Yes the virus escaped containment when it was being transported from China to Iran and Italy for use against the West in china’s war for world domination.
They’re commies, they are wicked and they’re going to be called to account.
Because of their screw up the fake pandemic is now out of time with the Iran’s attempted launch of a nuclear weapon against us.
We thought they might launch a nuclear bomb in new York Harbor and attack the Saudis along with Israel, but instead they launched a faltering bio weapon in New York City.
The Donald is NOT amused.
I saw a crawler on TV, attributed CNN of all places, that the Chicoms are now quashing academic research into the origins of the virus.
The fact that so little remains known about this virus even after this long certainly points to lab creation more strongly than the "wet market" theories. And, I'd wager that the vast majority of the researchers, even now, are pursing leads based on the "wet market" theories.
When this thing has run its course, China needs Haiti Therapy. If you are not familiar with that term, then look up the history of Haiti after it won independence, embarked on a murderous racial genocide and tried to invade and annex its neighbor. The world got together and gave them a mild, non-violent but totally appropriate punishment.

If you could see me you would note my SURPRISED FACE./////
Especially since the wet markets are still open and they are still selling bats and pangolins.
Who, stateside, colluded with the CCP on this release?
That info needs to made public knowledge, preferably just before the election. Then, publicly hang the bassturds for mass murder, treason, etc. They need to be held to account for this.
“It is simply impossible to find out”?
I do not think this is accurate there proxy,
Work from that Chinese lab has records. Though it is a secret lab it is possible for our CIA Mousad or some top Hackers to find out just what the hell was going on there.
Be great to take solid info to the world court.
Interesting to see damages that case could bring.
We know the Chinese have many research cowboys, and also a government which wants to push the limit on technological gain. We also know they have had leaks before and culturally have poor lab management attitudes. We know the researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology has researchers who have been specifically researching and playing around with coronavirus, both while in the USA and in China.
An accidental release and typical cover-up by Chinese Government is a highly likely scenario which fits everything we have seen so far.
I said weeks ago Iran’s statement to Trump raised serious questions of a ‘threat.’
Y’all called me crazy...
Highly engineered product.
Planned release.
Massive movement of Chinese nationals to the US and Europe before this got bad.
Intense pushback from Chinese gov’t and their puppets around the world.
Existing CCP and PLA programs of biowarfare.
Very little damage in Peking and Shanghai, even right around the block from Wuhan Lab#4
Cost to the free world: Trillions of dollars
The problem is not wet markets but the killing selling and consumption of wild animals not usually consumed. There are thousands of wet markets all over Asia. We had one near us in Singapore and used it weekly. Most of the small restaurants source from them. But in Singapore they did not sell wild animals.
We already know a large part of what they were working on. The Wuhan lab was built in a partnership with France, under the Wuhan Inst. of virology, and the top researchers are internationally-known Chinese scientists, who have worked in the USA and elsewhere. Everyone knows their background, resumes and experience.
Also, academics like recognition for their work, and will race to publish results of research, to get credit for it. Its also well-known that the Wuhan lab was working on coronavirus research and “gain of function” (adding new characteristics) to them.
So the notion that a man-made virus escaped from there is highly likely.
One reason the British have to suspect release from a lab is because they know something about accidental releases. A few decades ago, the world’s last small pox death was caused by a release from a highly secure research lab at the University of Birmingham. The exact how and whey remains unknown, but hundreds of people were exposed and several caught the disease. The large university building in which the lab was just one part of, was shuttered for five years. Hundreds of people were strictly quarantined and isolated for weeks.
