This is a really an expansive article and great in describing the tenacity and adaptability of viruses and indifference to its host animal, man or animal.

Now in my thinking…

As regards the current Wuhan debacle roiling the world and everyone in my own view the ORIGINAL SIN so to speak, was the creation of a new (novel ) Coronavirus using GOF research and rats with human lungs to perfect its virulence..

Then it was released … Act of Omission or Commission?

I believe it was an act of Commission ..in the belief that Fortress China could be made impregnable until the vaccine , perhaps already in the works could be rolled out…
Happy endings ..

Motivating factors – Payback for Sanctions and Trade Wars, and later the hijacking by environmental and political interests

However, the virus did come from a creature of nature, Bats, albeit lab made and now Nature is kicking that stuff and splattering it everywhere and to every other animal.

Now white tailed deer in the US, Minks in the US, minks and ferrets in EU and I m sure monkeys and some dogs and some hamsters not to mention the much ballyhooed Snake and Pangolin have been infected …

And each species will impart their own spin – variant … and the vaccine makers will be on the back foot and the human population vaccinated for the last variant and unvaccinated completely will be getting infected and suffering and dying.

A Bleak Outlook – especially when the US PUBLIC HEALTH PREVENTIVE institutions use up upwards of 50 Billion USD every year and employ over 10000 to 12000 people and succeed in mid-wifing a new coronavirus.

No consequences.
