Lab Leak?
-
Too far from the epicenter of the pandemic for the Wuhan Virus to where the supposed host resides. Secondly, the Chinese have been living with and eating these bats for centuries.
No I understand a bit about mutations and fully realize that a disease that formally only resided in bats could transmit over to humans (i.e. Monkeys/Ebola in Africa), but I also know that there are two biolabs in Wuhan, one of which is probably working of Gain Of Function virus weaponization.
So, I've always been pretty convinced about the Duck Argument. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc. I don't think of zebras when hearing hoofbeats (hey, a twofer!). So, I think the probability pretty high that it came from the Wuhan lab.
The question I really would like to know, was it a naturally occurring virus the Chinese found and it leaked out while studying it, or is it a weaponized variant that got loose?

If it's a weapon, it's a pretty shit one. How many weapons are designed to primarily kill old overweight people?
I was only joking

We are not a good enemy to have. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if lefties and communists the world over have murderous plans specifically targeted at us.

Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe the Chinese found the transmission ability they wanted, but not quite the symptoms they needed.
OTOH, if you could saturate an urban center with the virus, you render their healthcare system ineffective in days.

Huh??
Look at the results, if Covid was deliberately released. It's not difficult to go through the various impacts of a "what if" game.I don't believe it was deliberately released. No human could be that horrible, to either demand it to be done, or released by one sick MF.
But I would really like to know, what happened, where it is now OK to talk about a possible leak, when up to now it has been forbidden, or you're racist.
What changed, I wonder?

It cost our economy 15-20 trillion dollars and while we were distracted they got Hong Kong, built several islands consolidating their hold on the South China Sea, expanded their belt and road and then told us as the pandemic ended they were equal to us.

Based on what I am reading here and the sentiment it is arousing.....
So what's stopping the US from building an international coalition of the willing and taking out the Chinese communists one and for all? Apparently they have no credible military allies and are essentially isolated politically. Yes, it will cost the US a few more trillion dollars or so, but it'll boost the economy by getting people back to work in well paid manufacturing jobs.
A good start would be to bring these articles and similar and select information to the UNSC and present the findings. Hell, it could prove to be the yellow cake or smoking gun giving cause for this next world tour of US military adventurism.

In fairness, killing all the old people is an economic boon to a country.
Education is extremely important.

So now you're saying the US and its western allies should be sending a big Thank You card to Xi?

You'll have to do better than that. I don't believe you. Never have.
That post was parody, but I'm not going to tell you of what.
Yes, I was aware that it was a parody. Sadly I found it neither clever or amusing. I wonder why? But then, since my return to this forum about a year ago, I don't find your posts very clever or amusing at the best of times. It's really too bad, there was a time that you came across as talented and intelligent. Now you just come across as common and I do not believe much that you write. I'll just leave it at that.

Thanks for leaving it at that, before it became insulting. That was big of you.
