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

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.

Of course I did. It could be no other way, although you are by far the most clever and amusing. Trenchant and stiletto sharp in your word craft. Wise beyond words.
Alas, I am no match. I'll go meekly back to where I belong.

The Chinese knew - in November 2019.
Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.
The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”

Biden shuts down investigation by State Department:
President Joe Biden's team shut down a closely-held State Department effort launched late in the Trump administration to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab over concerns about the quality of its work, according to three sources familiar with the decision.
The existence of the State Department inquiry and its termination this spring by the Biden administration -- neither of which has been previously reported -- comes to light amid renewed interest in whether the virus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military. The Biden administration is also facing scrutiny of its own efforts to determine if the Chinese government was responsible for the virus.
Those involved in the previously undisclosed inquiry, which was launched last fall by allies of then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, say it was an honest effort to probe what many initially dismissed: that China's biological weapons program could have had a greater role in the pandemic's origin in Wuhan, according to two additional sources.
But the inquiry quickly became mired in internal discord amid concerns that it was part of a broader politicized effort by the Trump administration to blame China and cherry-pick facts to prove a theory.
I'm sure that "The Big Guy's" administration won't cherry pick facts to disprove the theory, amirite?

The trajectory on these things if history repeats, is once the snowball starts gaining momentum there is no stopping it.
What would an adequate remedy be should China be responsible?

I'll read Loki's link in a moment.
The quote is from the CNN article. CNN?? What has happened to them over there?
OK. "allies of..." makes it more like CNN.
Why has this taken so long, and how long will it take "allies of..." the Biden admin to dismiss and bury the whole concept of the CCP doing something that would require some sort of action?

From Loki's link to the WSJ:
"Mr. Biden, who wants a report within 90 days, said that U.S. intelligence has focused on two scenarios—whether the coronavirus came from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident."That's all? There could, or shall not be, any other possibilities to focus upon? Wonder what that third possibility might be? I'm sure asking a lot of sarcastic questions this morning.
Easier than thinking. -

It’s incredibly valuable to Biden in any negotiations with China. Why would he have a fake process only to squander leverage?
Also now that Trump lost the election we can be more honest.

There's a chance that Trump created it by being an orange douche bag. I know what you're thinking: "But Trump is an idiotic orange douche bag, he wouldn't have the technical know-how to create a pandemic!". But in fact, the process is well understood in nearly its entirety:
- Be an orange douche bag
- ???
- Unleash pandemic on the world
That's one single step away from being fully understood. So don't tell me that Trump "definitely" didn't create the virus - there is a strong possibility he did.
