I'm in the camp that this escaped from a Chinese lab anyway . The lab was buying and selling animals to experiment on from the Wuhan market , then selling back the animals to make extra cash. That's feels correct in my mind with regards to how this all started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,886 Posted March 12, 2020 I feel US are not taking it seriously enough. It could infect millions in a country like US and cause thousands and thousands of death. It is not a normal flu. Obviously they wouldn't do anything to prevent the flu. But this has a mortality which is 1000 times 34 times higher, they really can't afford underestimating it.

Developed it in Northern Italy in clandestine medical facilities with help from the Mafia. Meant only to be used on the hated enemies of Iran and China. But as with all these CIA plots they fucked it up and now it is leaking all over the shop. They also meant it to infect North Korea but as Americans have little to no knowledge of geography outside their own towns they infected South Korea instead. Simples. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
