Well written. To add to your cynic side, Lab in Wuhan (China) was cooperating with the University of Karolina (USA) a few years ago... on coronavirus.
Whether by chance it has moved from bats or slipped from the lab will probably never be known. I don't think it was a deliberate attack, though.
Interestingly, China has almost no new cases, which I don't believe. If true would be very strange. The USA has already over 3000 cases confirmed, but they have performed 20 times fewer tests per million population than several European countries. As of today only around 70, while UK around 600 and Italy around 1800 tests per million.
It seems more people start to die daily from covid-19 than from flu.
Data are very fuzzy, government actions uncorrelated.
Thank you. I agree, the reason for the outbreak is very unclear and based on the impact it i having on the world more information is required.
With every day that passes the crisis worsens and more drastic measures are taken to protect public health and safety - the impact on the world's freedom could be similar to 9/11.
