Conspiracy theorists are pushing the lab origin theory but it doesn't look very convincing: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/23/841729646/virus-researchers-cast-doubt-on-theory-of-coronavirus-lab-accident
It wasn't the federal government who sued China, it was the state of Missouri. That lawsuit isn't going anywhere.
It's a waste of time directing anger at China in my opinion. I blame the Chinese for COVID-19 as much as I blame England for mad cow disease.
Evidence now shows the corona virus was already circulating inside the US in early January, when China had only just isolated the SARS-CoV-2 genome. This was going to spread out of control no matter what. It moved more quickly and with more stealth than modern science has seen before. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/23/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html
WHat no way. I could have sworn I saw Trump boasting about the lawsuit in some sort of a press conference. AM I tripping??? It wasn't the federal government who sued China, it was the state of Missouri. That lawsuit isn't going anywhere.

I agree that focusing anger on china would be pretty much useless, what good is a lawsuit when your economy tumbling down the road.
So I saw a documentary on netlflix on this whole thing, and interestingly enough, there were teams in China that were examining bats in underground caves in china, and as a matter of fact they came across this virus and at the moment they didn't find it deadly enough to cause a pandemic and they labeled it as a low risk virus. And once this outbreak occured and they tested the well known Covid-19 with their tests, there was a 96% similarity to the virus they had previously discovered. ALSO, the doctor who wanted to warn regarding this whole virus got threatened by the chinese police to not ensue this matter, and ergo thats how this whole spread went from bad to worse. The doctor is now dead from the virus. So yeah, China could have definitely avoided all this.
