This came from a bioweapons..uh..research lab in that Province.

It’s not from some animal in a market that just happened to be infected by nature...

Origin is the research lab..

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Really?

[AppyPappy]

It’s a SARS variant IIRC

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sure seems like it.

That’s my thought also. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is the first and only (as of Feb 2017) Level 4 bioresearch lab in China. Those are potentially “dual use” facilities.

If Wuhan 2019-CoV is a bioengineered virus, the next question is whether this was an accident or bioterrorism (for political or financial reasons; or both)?

I love that line from The Americans. My country does not have a bioweapons program. That has been outlawed by treaty, but we do work on antidotes just in case your country has a secret bioweapons program

and you know this how? Nature comes up with nasty bugs all on its own. And so far this appears to be a long way from the nastiest. But by all means spread panic and misinformation . That’s what the internet is for anyway.
