Covid-19 is a bio-engineered virus which is why no one in government wants to talk about its' origin.

To do so would mean governments would have to admit they're bio-engineering diseases on the pretext of studying disease.

[Mr Information]

If you suspect that your enemy is going to develop a biological weapon for possible use against you, then it is understandable that you would want to research this possible weapon yourself, to develop a defense against it.

Understandable but risky, as there could be a leak of the weapon from your laboratory, or the knowledge could be stolen.
