Chinese media: Maine lobster shipment was ‘Pandora’s box,’ spreading covid

Guest Author:Mark Godfrey

Reports appearing across China’s tightly controlled media suggest the origin of covid-19 in the country came in 2019 via a shipment of lobster from Maine.

“In November 2019, a shipment of frozen Maine [lobster] arrived in Wuhan, and shortly afterwards several people working in the market fell very ill with a strange pneumonia,” noted an article published this week in the New Observer, a state-owned periodical.

The article suggests the shipment from Maine was a “Pandora’s box” that spread the virus around China. It also states the “American side has not owned up to the origins of the virus.”

The Sina news portal – one of the most-read on China’s state-controlled internet – reported on the issue in more detail, suggesting a shipment from Maine consisting of 55 boxes of chilled Boston lobster weighing 823.4 kilograms arrived in Shanghai Pudong Airport on Nov. 11, 2019, aboard a China Eastern Airlines flight was then forwarded to 26 customers across the country. One of the customers was an unnamed vendor at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, where the virus was first reported in late 2019, after an initial cover-up by local government.

The Sina article includes several maps of the Huanan market, which link the Wuhan vendor with concentrations of covid-19 infections within the market. The article also includes what it says are quotes from the report of the World Health Organization study trip to China, one of which states that “research shows that the new coronavirus can survive for a long time in conditions of frozen food, packaging, and cold-chain products.”

Doesn’t pass the smell test.

If this originated in the US, they why were we funding the forbidden research in Wuhan?

Right. China is one of the most brazen states in recent history. However, everybody is tiptoeing around her. Even those who are supposedly more powerful than China. It shows the downside of indiscriminate outsourcing and the power of bribe.

Everyone knows lobsters eat bats.

I don't know about that, but I wouldn't put it past turtles.

Why would a Maine company be shipping Boston lobsters. What crock.

SpongeBob tried to warn us - there’s a secret underwater laboratory run by Plankton that’s out to destroy the world. Prove it isn’t true.

The smell of desperation.

Just say it came from Trump supporters and CNN ... NYT, and other liberals will lick it up.

What? You chi-coms say it came in lobster from Maine? And NOT from idiot incompetent PLA “scientists” who administered the PLA created chimera virus (ebola, HIV, and bat) to the Uigher Labor Camp on the Mongolian border?

Killing estimated 65K Uighers whose bodies had to be cremated and the sulphur dioxide plume was detected by US and other country’s satellites. Plume was calibrated to similar plumes seen from the Bangladesh typhoon in which the dead were burned— relating number to plume size.

And that patient Zero was discovered in Guandong by our own CDC just before the chi-coms ordered them OUT of China (so they could not complete their influenza valency detection work for the 2019-20 flu season?

It was lobster?..... showah ayeh.

There were NO KNOWN CASES of Covid anywhere in New England or among lobster-men I know. They checked with their co-op network, no reported cases among fishermen before late Jan. 2020 in Maine! THIS IS 100% BULL SHIT!

Sure, it was the evil Trumps’s fault.

Donald and Donald Jr. sent contaminated lobsters to ChiCom land and that poisoned them and the world.

So went from bats, to wet market, to Maine lobsters where COVID never existed and there are no bio labs in the state?
