Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Tuesday repeated remarks he has made before about the origins of the coronavirus outbreak in China saying that the U.S. has to take into consideration every possibility until it’s determined where the disease came from.

Cotton’s remarks: On Sunday, Cotton initially floated the idea that the virus didn’t originate from the Wuhan market as it’s been widely reported in the media. He pointed out that the only high-level biosafety laboratory in China that deals with highly-infectious diseases is in Wuhan.

Probably the same people, who go bonkers when it is pointed out that Asians and Chinese seem to more vulnerable in getting this virus, more serious disease afterwards, and including death after exposure/having the disease.

Cotton is right on this. Since the Chinese won’t say definitively where it came from, Cotton’s theory is as good as any.

Exactly. I’m not sure why suggesting that a communist dictatorship is behaving exactly like a communist dictatorship is a conspiracy theory.

Does anyone seriously think if it escaped from the Luwan biological lab the Chinese will tell anyone, any more than we would tell anyone about what was going on in our Labs.-Tom

I would look at other countries reporting the outbreak and see if any of them came in on a diplomatic flight.

“the only high-level biosafety laboratory in China that deals with highly-infectious diseases is in Wuhan”

Occam’s Razor

Are you hinting at the possibility of a diplomatic pouch release of the virus in China, by another country? -Tom

Actually I am hinting at the possibility of a diplomatic pouch release that came from China, released in other countries.
