First the secret Chinese biowarfare lab then the outside world.

Somebody offer a Chinese whistleblower a huge book contract for a tell all.

Searches usually say “China was a signer to the ban on biowarfare weapon development.” Not even identified as humor.
Still a good standup comic line.

While it is true that the left abuses scientific inquiry (all forms of inquiry, really) with baseless claims carefully couched in hedge words such as could, might, may, etc., that does not mean that we should reject every hypothesis out of hand even if it is expressed using those same hedge words, as they are the proper framework for stating a hypothesis. Healthy skepticism is fine but flat rejection of ALL hypotheses is a good way to get dunked.

While I understand your point, these same agencies are looking for government dollars any way they can get them.

Blowing out projections are a great way to convince the government it better pay up quick, or else.

I’m not saying that they all have evil intentions. It’s just that the projections are frequently wildly off. For that reason the information is worthless, and serves to discredit other reasoned reports.

It’s OK to eat bat soup. Newsmax reported Corona virus may have escaped from a weapons lab. Taiwan estimates 40K infected. So eat up, bat droppings and all. Mmm

An escaped bioweapon would have a higher mortality rate and take less than 2-weeks to kill you.

(Seeing as your post was obvious sarcasm I’m sure you know that)

If there were, as posters here were saying yesterday, 90,000 dead in Wuhan the PRC would not be able to cover that up. There is no place to store that many bodies. I don’t the Germans in WW2 could have cremated that many victims so fast and they had custom built facilities to do so.

what is going on? first it’s bats, then it’s snakes, then it’s snakes that ate bats. It’s from the market, it’s not the market, so how did the 96% bat and whoknowswhat% snake dna get combined? Now look at these two competing stories today:

“Their data also show that, in total, 13 of the 41 cases had no link to the marketplace. “That’s a big number, 13, with no link,” says Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University.
(this article)

“Thirty-one of the 33 positive samples were collected from the western zone of the market, where booths of wildlife trading concentrated,” the CDC said, reported state-owned Xinhua news agency.

If the first contagions were now believed to be in late Oct/early Nov, the market shut in mid-Dec, then at Jan 27 we’re out of the incubation/contageous period for the original transfers up to mid-Dec. So are we now just cleaning up those that had contact with the originals from mid-Dec to lastof-Jan - yes? no?

and here’s a beam of good news: Tests by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention for a new strain of coronavirus were negative for the patient hospitalized in Colorado
