Wuhan lab 'most likely' coronavirus source, U.S. government analysis finds
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, April 28, 2020 | Bill Gertz

A Wuhan laboratory is the “most likely” source of the COVID-19 outbreak now ravaging the globe, according to a U.S. government analysis that catalogs the evidence and concludes that other explanations for the origin of the coronavirus are less credible.

The document, compiled from open sources and not a finished product, says there is no smoking gun to blame the virus on either the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Wuhan branch of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, both located in the city where the first outbreaks were reported.

But “there is circumstantial evidence to suggest such may be the case,” the paper says.

“All other possible places of the virus’s origin have been proven to be highly unlikely,” the document concludes. A copy of the report, compiled this month, was obtained by The Washington Times.

Chinese authorities have said the origin of the virus is unknown but initially stated that it came from animals at a “wet market” in Wuhan where exotic meat is butchered and sold. They said the virus may have jumped from bats to animals sold at the market last year and then infected humans.

A targeted strike with some Hellfires could take out BOTH the lab and the wetmarkets.

Take no chances. Take no prisoners.

Can someone explain why a virus that WHO states jumped to humans in January 2020 is called COVID-19 and not COVID-20?

They didn’t care what they named it as long as it didn’t have China in the name.

It would also be nice if we could launch some Hellfires at the idiot who gave the Wuhan lab 3.7 million.

It would be more aptly named the ChiCom Virus.

1) Who believes WHO?

2) The virus was already loose in Nov-December 2019.

Once there is seriological AB testing available I will have definitive proof that it struck me in the second week of January and settled in my lungs for nearly a month.

Nasty stuff but tyranny is nastier.

"with some Hellfires"

Not significant for the size of targets.

It began in 2019...late in the year.

A “novel coronovirus” beginning this year (even on New Year’s Eve) will be labelled CV-20.

You had i the same time I figure I had it.

I like the idea but passing 600 miles of Chinese airspace may prove a problem.

It started in April of 2019 and was attributed to vaping.

Bathe the heathen Chicoms in the cleansing fire of the atom...just retribution for their failed bioweapon attack.

Commie bastards. Wipe any monetary debt owed to them away. Use whatever stimulus is left to decouple entirely from their economy. Commie scum.
