The director of a lab studying the coronavirus in Wuhan—the Chinese city where the global outbreak is believed to have originated—denied that the bug accidentally spread from his facility. “There’s no way this virus came from us,” Yuan Zhiming, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, told state media on Saturday. Yuan’s denial came days after a fresh round of reports suggesting the novel coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan Institute or another similar laboratory miles away in the Chinese city. President Trump was asked about the possibility at a White House press briefing last Wednesday and said the US was investigating the origins.

Yuan admitted that the lab is studying “different areas related to the coronavirus,” but told the English-language state broadcaster CGTN that none of his staff has been infected.
Well, I guess that settles it. I'm certainly satisfied. Move on.

He lies. But he was ordered to lie or die. Easy choice, I'm sure.

Escape? slip out by accident? of course not! In a totalitarian regime's laboratory? No.
No, again, No. This virus was sent out on a mission! There's no other way they(CCP)+Dems could come close to wrecking the most powerful economy in history. And if they succeed at it, and succeed at the ouster of DJT, they will install a communist dictatorship virtually overnight, even faster than what happened in Venezuela. Even faster than the War Communism set in devastating motion by Vlad Lenin and his merry band of Bolsheviks.

They overlook a critical detail, the American citizenry. Not on your best day wang. We've certainly had worse than this. This little stunt is going to cost China, and in turn, the Democrats more than they have bargained for. Stand by for one big correction.

No, it didn't escape. It was released.

This is not news. Just the opposite in fact.

I for one doubt the release was intentional. Negligent? Sure. Why would the Chinese intentionally release the virus among a population of Chinese people? It would cost their economy plenty, although they don't value a few thousand human lives the way we do in the USA. It would be so much easier to smuggle a vial of the virus into the USA, then have someone sprinkle it liberally on someplace like a handrail on an escalator or a moving walkway in an airport.
Unless: some financially strained lab employee thought he could take some of the dead bats from the lab and sell them to the vendors on the wet market; or, some disgruntled lab employee secretly smuggled some of the virus out, perhaps to kill a spouse or some such, and his plan spun out of control.
Even among the Chi-Coms, stupidity is much more common than conspiracy..

The Russians still claim no radiation has escaped from Chernoble too.

They probably didn't plan on releasing it until they had a vaccination in place for their citizens. Nice way to take over the world without firing a shot and keeping everything intact.

The evidence all points to the CREATION of the SPECIFIC Corona Virus from the Wuhan Lab for several reasons:
The scientific papers that were published in professional journals prior to the outbreak, especially from one of the female microbiologists who had done ground-breaking studies on viruses carried by bats which were published YEARS AGO.
Once the genome was sequenced, they did not want further study. What others have published shows that depending what part of the WORLD you study, that there are actually up to 8 mutations of the genome, and that the Wuhan lab had been working on gene splicing for a very long time.
When people in THIS country working at a Class 4 lab say things look suspicious and that THEY have seen the papers printed in the professional scholarly journals come out and call it a CREATED virus using parts of OTHER viruses, then it is important to take note.
Like the "Andromeda Strain", we are finding ways to combat this, but the very worst part is that people can be carriers and NOT KNOW IT, so we have to take very serious measures.
The reason why the Chinese LIE is that no matter what, they must not be the bad guy-- Iran very similarly so-- And so the statistical numbers from those countries cannot be relied upon. Now they are trying to put the blame on the US.
Deny, deny, deny. Attack your accusers of that which YOU are guilty of, then say EVERYONE does is so why are you attacking them-- The well-worn OJ/Clinton/Alinsky defense!!!

China had too much to lose and has lost it already to have done this on purpose. They had a stranglehold on American business and finance and were making inroads everywhere in the world. They had access to our prime oil fields in the Gulf and elsewhere. This virus has set them back thirty years and they will never recover.
