As evidence mounts that Covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced it is constructing more than 90 additional bio labs.
The CCP’s Ministry of Science and Technology announced this week that the country is constructing three additional biosafety level-4 labs and 88 biosafety level-3 labs.

A biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility.
The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) to the highest at level 4 (BSL-4).
The announcement came from China mouthpiece Global Times which cited Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Xiang Libin.
Several scientists, including former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield, support theories that Covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab.
In a Feb. 23 op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his former principal China policy adviser Miles Yu noted that “the Chinese Communist Party is obsessed with viruses. Its army of scientists claim to have discovered almost 2,000 new viruses in a little over a decade. It took the past 200 years for the rest of the world to discover that many. More troubling is the party’s negligence on biosafety. The costs and the risk to world health are enormous, as evidenced by a novel coronavirus that escaped Wuhan. This situation can’t continue. The world must hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable and punish Beijing if it fails to uphold global biosafety standards, including basic transparency requirements.”
Evidence that the coronavirus came from Wuhan “is enormous,” Pompeo and Yu said, adding, “and most signs point to the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the source.”
