The concept of intentional release by a state level party is very touchy due in part to our policy regarding chemical and biological weapons. That policy is nuclear response. If the enemy thinks that we know it as being an intentional act and have not taken our stated retaliatory measure (or issued an ultimatum) they will consider they achieve a big victory through this, and that American politicians are spineless with respect to defending the republic over their political and financial interests.
Apparently some of the non-military folks don't understand the MAD protocol, or what the result would be.
What we do know:
The virus was released in Wuhan, China, so our government has a basis to blame China.
The funding came from Gates, Soros, NIH, CDC, and UNC. The original sample came from Ft. Detrick, MD. The initial research was done at UNC, by the Chinese researcher who took it back to China. Therefore, China blames the USA.
Neither Trump nor Xi want WW-III. That is why I believe Trump and Xi are working together to nail the Deep State operatives and the Billionaires who put this bio-terror event together.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the hounds are closing in, and some prominent people will hang for this.
