This initial release, assuming bioweapon, had to be accidental. Why on earth do what they did to Wuhan ? It they intended to release a bioweapon why not in the US near a US Bio Research facility ?
We got good data from China for about 2 to 3 weeks. First complete genome and everything. Then it all changed and research and data release was shutdown. At that point they decided to game the deck of cards they had. So now we are in a biowarfare scenario until the Chinese come clean.
I recall reading somewhere that Wuhan was the capital of Chiang Kai Shek’s government for a while.
Also Chongqing.
Seems those two cities/provinces were hit the hardest.
Makes you wonder.
I can think of several reasons, assuming it wasn't an accidental release - and I'm not saying it wasn't:
1. To inoculate their population against this novel corona virus by first releasing a less lethal strain among their own people.
2. To hide an intentional act of aggression by using their own people as a smoke screen. And once the virus is spreading throughout the world, use the spread as a smoke screen to release a more lethal strain within your enemy's border.
3. To make use lockdowns among their own people for bringing protestors, foreign agents, and dissenters under control. And to ready the general population for war.
4. To thin their heard, by eliminating those burdensome to their goal of world domination.
