I bit on the Chinese mass hysteria show two years ago. I would hope we’re all a little wiser now.
The reality is that the Chinese were in full panic mode two years ago, because they didn't know what the coronavirus mutant that had escaped the Wuhan lab was going to do. As it turns out, they unleashed a lot of pain on the world. At this point I see it as equally likely that an engineered biological agent will drastically alter the world as we know it as will nuclear weapons.
