In 1978 I followed the mutation of a feline virus and spread (Canine Parvovirus) from a dog show in Mobile, Alabama, and ultimately infect the entire world's population of canines. I watched in the summer of 1971 Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis spread from central America into Texas and killed thousands of horses, infect humans, and cause Texas to be quarantined for that Summer. Viral mutation from one species into another is not a new phenomenon and happens periodically. FYI, a bioweapon doesn't have to kill the population to be successful, it can be made to disrupt a population, cause economic distress and overwhelm its medical capabilities. But one important thing about a bioweapon, the one that releases it must have a vaccine or antidote and China had neither so IMO this is a natural mutation.

Good point to which I would have to agree.
