The Wuhan lab knew before 18 November that the virus was out. On 18 November (and perhaps for some time before) the Wuhan Institute of Virology was advertising for an entry-level scientist who wanted to work with bat viruses.
My best guess is that more senior scientists were looking for a fall guy, as an entry-level scientist, while helpful given time, is only going to make a late project later. See Brooks’ Law.
My question since i saw this stuff about Wuhan and what a disaster it is still remains was the virus really released by accident three different times as I read or was it done on purpose.
On purpose they kill their own people. Accidentally, through massive incompetence, they don’t.
