I think the western leaders fully understand the situation. But it’s terribly impolite to accuse China of this act.

It really gets into the actual “crimes against humanity” thing. It’s wild-eyed and crazy to come out with such an accusation without proof and/or without other important people willing to back you up on the suspicion.

I’m pretty sure Trump feels that it was biowarfare. Sounds like the UK feels it was biowarfare. Pretty soon it will be very openly discussed and, I think, China will be ostracized and financially punished.

“No! American soldier come to Wuhan and spread!” /s

If it did or didn’t come from a lab, it doesn’t change the FACT ... China is still the world’s #1 source of flus. plagues, and other contagious diseases

Because they have lousy agricultural standards and eat infected animals

China was also the source of the source of SARS and H1N1

and who knows how many more in the future, because they continue to do nothing to clean up the sources

I agree with you. It was either an accidental leak of a bio-weapon and they don’t want to look like idiots and admit that they’re working on bioweapons, or...

It was an intentional leak to quell the Hong Kong protests and it spread way further than they expected. Also, they look like idiots and want to save face.

I work with many Chinese immigrants now living here full time. 3 of them told me they believed they leaked it deliberately to quell Hong Kong and also expected it would kill their own elderly but they didn’t care. That was a “side benefit” and a cost of doing business.. They believe this with all their heart.

It's come out over the last 24-48 hours, that this virus attacks the heme protein: both causing anemia and therefore hypoxia, but also releasing iron into the body.

Each of these has a cascade of downstream effects.

Tell me what naturally occurring coronavirus attacks heme? I've never heard of one.

They apparently have sequenced the virus, all 30,000 nucleic acids; and have characterized many of the proteins produced by this virus, and their functions.

Have they found the sequence of nucleotides which codes for the protein which attacks heme, yet?

Does it bear a relation to the genetic sequence for any other microorganisms which attack heme?

The reparations would be in the trillions. That’s a lot of barbies and cheap Walcrap. They’ll never admit it even when proven.

Trump didn’t deliberately deem this the “China virus” and intimate that (financial) retribution was due just because. Pompeo backed him and Boris has previously gone along that line too. Much as some were up in arms over it, these people know stuff most don’t.

China has already made this accusation against the US.

FChina.

This is the only justifications that I can see for the lockdowns and closing the economy to boot. That there are things they saw or knew that we are not privy to yet.

I wonder if thats why some nations response policy seemed to change on a dime perhaps Colin Powell to say pssst ... this ain’t natural and it ain’t the flu. Xi let one of his biowarefare agents get away - let me show this dossier

Partner, we have had it with the Chicoms. We finally have a POTUS who will tell and show the Chicoms where to go when it comes to stealing, cheating, copying, and lying about their intentions.

The Chicoms can never be trusted since they were killing their own people and lying about the ovens that existed in Wuhan to basically cremate their own folks.

The Chicoms want so bad to be the no. 1 country but I hope this president tells the Chicoms where they can go if they are not upholding their end of the bargain when it comes to trade.

We are hearing stories that the Chicoms were killing their own people since these folks were getting their pensions and they withheld the deaths of the Corona Virus and we will never know how many folks died in Wuhan, China.

Punishment is what the Chicoms deserve!!!
