A new normal for Wuhan as Chinese authorities float new theory on Covid-19 origins
France24 ^ | December 18, 2020

Almost a year has passed since the Huanan wholesale market in Wuhan, China – the suspected source of the Covid-19 pandemic – closed down. Anti-coronavirus measures in place here and at other markets have enabled business to continue, but Chinese authorities now say that imported frozen food, rather than trade in live animals, caused the virus' outbreak.

The site of the Huanan market is hidden from view behind walls and watched over by a few policemen.

Among the stalls were a handful of vendors who traded in wild animals, and who are blamed for enabling the animal to human transmission. But Chinese authorities now have a different theory: They say the virus was introduced by imported frozen food.

At another market in the suburbs of Wuhan, strict protocols are in place to contain the virus. Customers must scan a QR code and have their temperatures taken.

In terms of food safety, locals are mostly worried about infected products coming in from abroad.

“We don’t dare buy imported products,” one shopper told FRANCE 24. “But everything we find in the market has already been inspected.”

We’re supposed to trust China, who won’t let outside investigators in?

It escaped from a bio weapons lab. The Epoch Times has an excellent documentary on it. It’s baffling few seem to care.

Man, I do not trust any damned thing from the U.S. Federal gub mint.
I’m instead going to believe any damned thing coming out of communist China?
Me thinks knot.

In Oct 2020 some friends had spent 2 weeks touring Italy. They felt fine and had a good, uneventful trip. On the return flight back to the USA, one of them started feeling ill, like a cold. Within 24 hours they were admitted to a major hospital here in the States with double pneumonia, high fever, and failing kidneys. Mind you only one had taken ill, the other never should any signs/symptoms. Italy reported a superbug going around at that time. In retrospect my friend thought they might have already had covid-19 so they went to get tested but it was 6-7 months later and it did not show. To this day they still think it was COVID-19.

As a follow up, the superbug reported in Italy was NDM-1 as per this story. I forwarded to them, they got tested while in the hospital, and the results were negative. Anyhow just weird how these bugs can attack otherwise healthy people so quickly.

At the time of your friends’ travel, there were direct flights between Wuhan and northern Italy. Most of that region’s high end fashion production relied on the labor of illegal Chinese immigrants from Wuhan. It is suspected that is how COVID first got to Italy and Europe.

That it infected leadership in other countries - Trump in particular - but not its country of origin is circumstantial, but enough for you & me to be the smoking gun.
