But, was actually due to a research scientist gone mad at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

No one who actually knew Dr. Bruce Ivins believes that. He happened to be an expert on anthrax who was instrumental in identifying the outbreaks. He was also a very nice man who always said hello, whether I ran into him in the breakroom or at the gym.

The FBI initially turned their sights on a postdoc, Steven Hatfill, and made his life miserable. He later sued and won for the harassment he endured. Later, the FBI returned to USAMRIID and made everyone very tense while they conducted another investigation. This time, they targeted Dr. Ivins. Their evidence was circumstantial, built on making a case out of behaviors that are common among scientists--like working "unusual" hours.

Yes, I do have insider knowledge here. I worked at RIID for four years.

I will just point out that while it is amusing to conspiracize about the coronavirus being a manmade bioweapon, our science is not at the level where we can actually design bioweapons. American science is way ahead of Chinese science. Nature is the best designer of killer microorganisms.

“How bad does it have to be to bring down the Chinese government?”

IF they can keep it from going wild outside of Wuhan (Wuhan itself is already lost)...then I suspect the government survives. If not, things turn ugly at the national level there.

But it IS very curious that a bio lab known to be studying the Novel Coronavirus is so close to the alleged source of the outbreak.

That doesn’t mean that there was a deliberate release of the virus. It would be foolish to rule out the possibility that the outbreak is related to the lab, at this point in time.

These kinds of virus can be neutralised by lowering your metabolism. The Chinese are high metabolic skinny horn dogs, hence the quick spread.

It’s the wet markets. This stuff is all ridiculous. Sars was from the same wet markets.

No doubt the Chicom reaction might end up being worse than the virus itself,,l

That sounds like an old wives tale. Do you have ANY source for that?

“”May have?”, “Could have?” - This isn’t a news article. It’s somebody’s fictional fantasy or propaganda at best.

Outside all the time. House is just for sleeping and eating. Spitting all over. Coughing and sneezing with no cover up. Their culture will do them in if this virus is really nasty.

Lots of egg on the ChiComs faces. They are looking very incompetent. They will do the max to deny and lie and cover up, if a bio-weapons lab is where this virus leaked from.

No matter what the origin the Chinese are suffering a huge blow to their national pride. Same as Fukishima nuclear meltdown did to the Japanese.

Saving face is all to these NE Asian cultures.

Oh course the virus is from this lab .
The Chinese spies in Canada where caught shipping these same virus
in a dangerous manner .

Why are these same spies still in the US ?
We have open our doors to thousands of Chinese spies in all our universities , govt agencies , and companies .
Who in there right mind would hire these thieves .

Lets shut down the airports and shipping ports now from China .

Trump been awful on this topic .
Its going to hurt real soon .
Even evil, Chuckles has demanded the CDC do more and
wanted more funds released .
I saw a Aussie young white family of four getting taken away into isolation in Perth .
Its was not a good optic for Aussie Prime Minister .

One thing you can say about the FBI with no doubt, if they do not have the evidence, they will fabricate it.

There’s a map in the article in the link below that shows as of Sunday AM EST it seems to be spreading well outside of Wuhan.
