I think that's really sad. AFAIK, there's no 100% evidence that it actually originated in China in the first place.

But hey, America gotta have an enemy, right?

If it aint a war on communism, it's a war on drugs. If it aint a war on drugs, it's a war for oil (on terror, apparently). It it aint a war on a virus, it's a war on China, because they're filthy or something. And it it aint that, it's a civil war, because war is cool, right?

"Although China was the first to report cases," said foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian just last week, "it doesn't necessarily mean that the virus originated in China."

That lab has been studying coronavirus’s since Y2K.
But they only got their BSL4 laboratory in 2018.
The WHO recommends nobody play with such infectious viruses in anything under a BSL3. With the most virulent strains requiring nothing less than a BSL4.

China was playing with hellfire in a BSL1 or BSL2 where you shouldn’t even play with a bic lighter.
It’s a miracle nothing escaped before this.

Oh wait where did SARS come from? Oh yea China that’s right.

SARS? = SARS-CoV-1
CoV-19? = SARS-CoV-2

WTF?

Two major coronavirus’s out of two bordering Chinese provinces? And they used the same scapegoat each time. Bats?

GIMME A FUCKING BREAK!

China has been playing with this kind of shit for decades, improperly in labs not rated to hold these types of viruses safely.

This isn’t the first time a pandemic level virus escaped the lab in China and won’t be the last.

The UN needs to step in and take away their privilege to have a BSL4. All that means is they can get their hands on more deadly viruses and let those escape.

Fuck China they shouldn’t even be allowed to have a BSL1 anymore. God dam commies don’t give a rats ass about the rest of the world.
