I disagree.

I have seen no evidence that the Wuhan coronavirus was bioengineered to target a specific race or ethnic group. The vast majority of victims are Chinese. Makes no sense for the Chinese to bioengineer a viral weapon that also kills their own.

Nor have I. It is speculation at this point.

My own assessment is that 2019-nCoV originated from a research sample that was subjected to experimental modifications for some other purpose. The result turned out to be more contagious and more lethal than expected. And it got loose.

What is no longer speculation is that the virus has some core sequences which "are not the result of natural recombination" according to several researchers in the field. And of course, there are other experts disputing those claims.

You put down your money and place your bets on what you think you know.
