So, if this bug was engineered, why was it test fired in China??? Why does the bug weaken each time it is passed from host to host??? How has it survived, if it is weakening? Wouldn't it just stop existing?

"The disease seemed to weaken as it passed from person to person."

Might this suggest that humans are not the natural host of this organism and attenuation of the organism occurs with successive passage in humans???? (at the risk of an unfounded speculation....)

We don't know if it is weakening as the number of cases are too low for real info on that. Also it would be strategic for China to have it begin on home turf *if* (a BIG if) it is biowarefare.
