https://www.foxnews.com/politics/coronavirus-wuhan-lab-china-compete-us-sourcesIt looks like the coronavirus was intended to be something that showcases China's ability to detect, and contain viruses better than the US. It is believed that "patient zero" worked in the Biolab in Wuhan, China and subsequently spread the virus to others in Wuhan.
If this is true, I would expect the world to go to War with China within a year.
No, no likelihood of war with China.
There are legitimate reasons for working with such a virus in the appropriate lab.
What most likely happened, something went wrong. Someone blundered, didn't follow protocol. Some idiot on the street found a way to get dead test animals from the lab, sold them in the market. etc, etc.
+1 to all of this. Some people are freaking out and saying that this is a bio weapon, but I think that's so much bullshit. If this was a bioweapon by China, and the American intelligence groups had found that out by now -- Trump and the rest of his admin would've made that public. They would've wanted public support behind starting some sort of war with China (even if it's just economical instead of with a military)
Plus the fact that if this was a bioweapon, this would've been a HORRIBLE bioweapon as they killed and infected a large amount of their own people while doing this. Just saying.
Can't recall where I found this link and it's also almost a month old, but this is a good read on attempts to trace back the origins of the virus and why the authors believe it to be naturally occurring and not man-made:
