It appears to me that the outbreak of the coronavirus is the fault of lax pathogen containment procedures on the part of the Chinese government at minimum. This is only a general theory that I've been able to piece together from various podcasts but it seems to make sense given the facts.
The Coronovirus or its immediate predecessor was CREATED in 2015 by an international project in which both the United Stated and China were participants. The head Chinese researcher whose name I have only heard and have not read (I am not very good at spelling Chinese names even in English, Dr. Hsu Jung Le is my closest approximation) synthesized a coronavirus/ SARS hybrid. Given how deadly it turned out to be, the United States government had the project shut down. It was not known what research Hsu possessed when the project was ended.
Apparently, Hsu ended up as a director a, where else but the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Recently two researchers were jailed for selling lab animals to the surrounding population. Also, China decided to upgrade the procedures regarding the handling of deadly pathogens in its virology labs.
So what this tells me is that China created a deadly virus, took it to Wuhan and that pathogen escaped due to China's negligence as illustrated by its lax pathogen protocols. The Chinese government knew about the outbreak in November because students at the University of Beijing were being infected. The Chinese knew about it and didn't tell the world for at least a month and a half.
Certainly not deliberately until they had a vaccine.
OTOH, has a single Polt Bureau member fallen ill?
Asking for a friend...
Above all, this illustrates to incredible imbecility of being so economically dependent on communist China for the production of goods. Trump had very good foresight in this regard.
Xi permitted the spread to end the Hong Kong protests.
Xi prefers chaos to containment quelle surprise
It would be a shame if America doesnt use this extremely costly and dangerous crisis
as the necessary justification to decouple its economy from China.

This!
Add Russia and Saudi Arabia tanking the oil market to put US shale and deep water out of business to help cause a recession during the election cycle and you have a deep state one-two punch.
this is the question that may never be asked by a government - because it could ultimately lead to world war 3 down the road. this could potentially be that big a deal.
disturbingly, apparently china is ratcheting up propaganda about US origin of the virus.
depending on where this goes, it may be the biggest destabilization globally since WW2, at a minimum.
i lived in the third world much of my life. the idea of janitors selling bats for extra cash is 100% believable, though we will never really know the truth.
What gets me about China and disease is almost all of them come from China. Ebola is the only one I can think of that didn’t come from China. Bird flu, Swine flu, Sar’s, COVID-19, and many more all originated in China. Isn’t Africa a dirtier place than China? If China can’t clean up it’s act, why doesn’t the WHO or the UN or some other organization penalize them until they clean up their country?
“It would be a shame if America doesnt use this extremely costly and dangerous crisis as the necessary justification to decouple its economy from China.”
Agreed.
Taiwan and Singapore learned a hard lesson with SARS, epidemiology & disease spread, and Chicoms lying.
Perhaps we will learn our lesson this time.
It’s the “Mad Scientist Syndrome”
“And I have to say that it appears the Chinese, in general, are less concerned about others as they are about themselves. Half of Wuton population (about 5 MILLION) fled to avoid being quarantined in the city.”
Yeah, sorry, but if some Communists wanted to “quarantine” my city, I’d be getting the hell out of dodge too. Don’t think I can judge the Chinese too harshly for that.
The idea that a BL4 lab technician screwed up a containment protocol in late September, and the Chinese bureaucracy tried to hide it until late December is 100% believable to me.
The "Chinese Apology" is a belligerent denial, in great detail, of everything that they just did. And the people who just did it, get fired. Or shot, depending on the severity of the problem.
The people who directly caused this problem are most likely dead now.

Agree!!
I can’t believe POTUS us the saying the same. He’s the ONE person that’s been screaming about our China dependence, for years.
Don’t libs and one worlders want to reduce the world’s population and send folks back to the dark ages so they can rule unabated?
100% agreed.
If the disease didn’t kill them, the CCP/PLA did.
Probably their next of kin too. Just because.
Should say ...why isn’t POTUS saying the same...
