| Another political article about how it's not possible that the Chinese were studying the virus and some underpaid lab tech screwed and and exposed himself and then did what humans always do, the tech tried to cover up the mistake. Nobody has still explained how the Chinese knew they had a problem in early December when they only had a handful of cases, like less than 100 cases. This is the question that needs to be answered. Until this question is answered satisfactorily the lab leak is the most reasonable explanation. The normal ways you detect a new virus is because: a) you have novel symptoms, COVID presents as the flu and early on tests didn't exist.
b) you have a statistically significant number of cases, early on the number of cases didn't exceed the seasonal variability of the flu.
c) you have a statically significant number of deaths, early on the number of death's didn't exceed the seasonal variability of the flu. When the Chinese knew they had a problem, there was NOTHING that would indicate anything out of the ordinary was taking place, so then how did the Chinese know they had a problem? If the virus really jumped species in the wet market, the Chinese wouldn't have known they had a problem until either the cases or the death totals started to exceed the normal variability of the flu. If that had happened we wouldn't have know about COVID until Late Jan or early Feb, and then it would have been really, really ugly. But that's not what happened, the Chinese knew about it in early December. The only way they could have known is if they had prior knowledge. |
Nobody seems to remember that by the end of March 2020, there was a report about Guilin and Gongguan wild animal markets already reopening: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8163761/Chinese-mar...
