China plans to build more bio labs amid scrutiny in Wuhan

China is planning to build dozens of biosafety level three labs and one biosafety level four lab over the next five years as investigators take another look at the possibility that the coronavirus could have leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, China. China's Guangdong province plans to create 25 to 30 biosafety level three labs and one biosafety level four lab, the Financial Times reported.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is home to a biosafety level four lab accused of conducting so-called gain of function research. The director of that lab, Yuan Zhiming, detailed Chinese labs' safety deficiencies in a 2019 review.

"Several high-level BSLs have insufficient operational funds for routine yet vital processes," Yaun wrote according to Financial Times. "Due to the limited resources, some BSL-3 laboratories run on extremely minimal operational costs or in some cases none at all."

China has a "medium" level of biosecurity preparedness compared to U.S.A's "high" level, according to the Global Health Security Index. The country passed a new law to improve biosafety last year, and in January 2020 biosafety labs working with Sars-Cov-2 samples were ordered not to release information about the virus without government clearance, the Financial Times reported.

The lab-leak theory has gained credibility in the U.S. and abroad in the past few weeks after a bombshell Wall Street Journal report revealed that three researchers at a Wuhan virology lab had displayed COVID-19 symptoms in late 2019 – well before the pandemic. But it remains unproven, as do competing hypotheses about how the virus first came to infect a human.

"We don’t know that’s what’s happened, but a lot of data have probably been destroyed or made to disappear so it’s going to be difficult to prove definitely the case

From ZERO HEDGE

About 75 percent of these facilities are or will be built in urban areas, which has experts around the world worried about the possibility of further "lab leaks."

They’ll get it right eventually. Keep trying.

And we'll keep sending them the money to do the "research".

This is a nightmare with no end. It has become obvious that China's leadership hopes to use armies of microscopic assassins to destroy Western Civilization. Any politician with connections to China should be run out of town on a rail.

While we’re waiting for that “eventuality”, how many more deadly viruses will be “accidentally” (Note the quotes) released?

We need to hit China were it hurts. With their huge shortage of marriage aged women (due to many years of sex selective abortion combined with their one-child policy), we ought to give American citizenship to all of their young women who choose to live here for at least 10 years.


LOL

Or really hurt them by sending American women over there, specifically the woke ones who hate men.

Levin had a guy on who said that even though Wuhan is a level 4 facility, they only practice level 2 safety procedures in some ways. Same as a dentist's office. He also said that the french helped build the facility and were to work with the chinese but as soon as the facility was done, china kicked them out of the country.

This is how communists show their defiance. If countries are increasingly warming to the idea of lab origin, double down and build even more labs.

Sock Puppet Joe will make sure they’re fully funded by grants from DHS.

This is a nightmare with no end.

The suspected "double CGG" combination present in CoV-2 is not present naturally in coronaviruses. This is the suspected genetically engineered sequence. Now since CoV-2 has entered the wild, it is now available for supplying the double CGG sequence to other coronaviruses via genetic recombination. Other presently existing coronavirus can become more deadly to humans if they incorporate the double CGG sequence. Thanks a lot, China lab.

China is planning to build dozens of bioweapons level three labs and one bioweapon level four lab over the next five years

There, fixed it

Hope they use a good sealant around doors and windows and are not connected to the city sewer system.
