“You assume that I am relying on publically accessible data.”
No.
But I do know this. If it was classified information...and any information gathered by a US agency of that nature would be classified Top Secret...I would recommend you not speak of it again.
That’s what would be properly called inflammatory, potentially bringing armed conflict.
And then, there are the mountains of data hidden behind corporate firewalls...
and the scientists that discuss those mountains of data amongst themselves privately...

This is the THIRD time in twenty years that a dangerous (to the world) virus has originated in China and escaped. China is effectively making war on the whole world. Including itself, but its ruling elite, the Chinese Communist Party, doesn't care about that. We should, even if it means armed conflict.
Which won't be necessary. We can bring down the CCP with the same means we used to bring down the USSR. One of those means, and the most necessary one, is to educate the American people about the nature of the threat. THAT is where you and I are completely at odds.
And, as a practical matter, I believe there is now a meaningful chance that the CCP will lose power within ten years. Xi is already a dead man walking.
