Hi Pete,

The truth most likely is covid-19 is a mutated SARS virus passed from animal to human at the Wuhan wet market, nothing new in that. This one is a particularly bad virus, with a high transmission rate. My "conspiracy" theory makes for better discussion, and has an outside chance of being true.

The important issue now is how all, rich and poor, get access to a vaccine, and effectively get the pandemic under control, which it certainly is not at the moment. How authorities organises the roll-out of the vaccine, and don't cock it up, as Bug Ridden Boris in the UK appears to be doing. Later we do need an independent open investigation as to the cause, and how best to avoid such events in the future. China most certainly needs to be open and transparent as to what happened, and what mistakes were made.

Paul1405,

The scuttlebutt I have is that the covid-19 is definitely an engineered virus. Apparently has to do with the fact that it has a way of mutating that does not occur in nature.

Hi Paul

Yes most evidence suggest Covid came from a Wuhan wet market.

INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE

Of greater significance is whether China's Government (CCP) waited/covered up its spread from:

- China whose very centralised public health system did eventually contain it

via Chinese citizens, air & cruise-ship tourists, and foreign residents of Wuhan (wanting to flee the disease)

- into China's economic and stategic competitors.

Such competitors being decentralised countries with less police containment and medical control over their populations.

The major countries China would want to effect/Infect were the US, Russia, India, Japan and the EU.

A good trove of evidence is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic#History

PPE equipment and VACCINES are other aspects China has the advantage of
Industrial Capacity

and Command Decision Government to Mass Produce to quickly make it available to its citizens.

Mr Opinion

You seem to want to propagate Trump's NEVER PROVEN CLAIM that Covid was a laboratory engineered virus.

Bacteria and Virus Epidemics/Pandemics have originated from CHINA by NATURAL CAUSES before - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics .

plantagenet,

I'm just letting you know what I have heard through the grapevine.

Take it or leave it, doesn't worry me.

I believe it to be true and to me it makes sense why China does not want it investigated and is trying to lay the blame on countries outside of China.

Mr Opinion

1. There are many more reasons "why China does not want" the Covid outbreak investigated, like:

- China's slow initial reaction in Dec 2019-Jan 2020 identifying Covid

- China's late notification of the World Health Organisation

and

- China allowing carriers of Covid to leave Wuhan.

2. I wouldn't fall into the ttbn trap of just repeating what one "hears" on the grapevine without the Internet Links that would amount to evidence.

3. Why hasn't any Western intelligence agency found evidence? Agencies would have every reason to publicise any "China Laboratory" evidence.

4. Or do you rely on Trump's much discredited personal word?
