C-19 From Chinese Bio-Lab? Yup.

The Brits have finally caught on to the reality.

British politicians fear that the coronavirus pandemic might have been caused by a leak from a Chinese laboratory, The Mail on Sunday has revealed. 

Senior sources in the British government say that while 'the balance of scientific advice' is still that the deadly virus was first transmitted to humans from a live animal market in Wuhan, a leak from a laboratory in the Chinese city is 'no longer being discounted'. ...

Dr. Steve Mosher, an expert on Red China, mentioned the fact here:

At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future....

...the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”...

Mosher also observes that the ChiComs have always been sloppy about bio-weapon security matters.

...What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments. Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken....

Whether Corona-19 was accidentally or deliberately released remains a question.  There are good arguments on either side of that question.  Personally?  I think they let this thing fly deliberately, thinking that they'd never have it pinned on them.

Wrong thinking.
