I don’t know if it was engineered. That is a technical term and involves gene splicing, etc. It could have been “bred.” What I am 99.999999999% certain of is that human hands were involved in its creation. This was no accidental cross species jump. Nothing jumps and is a near perfect infective agent fitting the receptors in the human body like a key in a lock. Some “tumblers” mismatch in any jump. Covid19 fits the lock like it was made for it because it was.
Yeah...it like police radar...if it’s hitting you you can detect it and sense it. If you get the Kung Flu, it can be analyzed and determined it was human engineered.
There are highly technical reasons it probably wasn’t bred.
FReepmail me for details.
Incidentally, two Nobel Prize winners — Luc Montaigner who co-discovered HIV, and David Baltimore, who discovered reverse transcriptase, said it was bio-engineered.
