Biowarfare bug or another natural variant...?
“Biowarfare bug or another natural variant...?”
The hybrid virus was engineered from a virus found in horseshoe bats of the R. pearsonii species called Pearson’s Horseshoe Bats, that live in caves in China.
To answer your question without complete proof, I’ll leave it to your deduction. The Chinese took a virus from an animal and re-engineered it. This new SARS virus is unique because it causes both upper and lower respiratory tract infections and can be passed by animal interactions. It has no purpose in research that I’ve found for use for medicinal purposes. The epicenter of the initial poisoning was from a city with their newest and largest bio/chem facilities in the city. Screw up or experiment, they now know it will have grave consequences if deployed. Their only real problem now is finding how to stop it before it comes back to bite them on the a$$.
