Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

The deliberately engineered bioweapon theory doesn't make sense because high contagiousness with very low mortality means the pandemic can spread rapidly cross borders, including back to US and US allies.

Ideally, an bioweapon would have a low-moderate contagiousness, and high mortality rate, and high affinity to East Asian DNA genetics, so it can largely be contained within China or East Asia boundaries.

With COVID-19, you have a weak mortality rate and greater affinity for Americans and Europeans than Chinese both in terms of infection and economic damage. What a epic failed bioweapon attack.

If killing is the goal yeah it's a shit weapon, but what if it's not about killing and its about containing and stopping or slowing down Chinas economic growth. Probably assumed China would be able to contain it like Sars and the damage be mostly regional. Don't forgot they want to keep the chinese market healthy enough so they can exploit it.

By unleashing this virus it would buy the West a couple of more years to finish up Ukraine and Russia and further prepare the pacific theater...

If it weren't for all those mask off moments the last 2~3 years I wouldn't have thought the west would be able use biological weapons.

Well if that's the case, then it backfired spectacularly.

That was also the case with chemical warfare, the wind suddenly changed and now the chemicals is attacking your own troops.

Well if that's the case, then it backfired spectacularly.

Most of the evil schemes concocted by Soros, Nuland, Kagan, Bolton, Pompeo and their like-minded colleagues has been backfiring spectacularly in the last 8 years. It's not shocking to add one more to the list.

Honestly, if they really wanted to trip up China's growth, CIA releasing a virus, triggering endless lockdowns would be the way to go.

I wouldn't put it past the Americans to sacrifice their own elderly just to stymie China's growth for a few years.

Unlike SARS which they did find the source of the virus, China CDC might have prematurely assumed animal origin for COVID 19 when evidence was just circumstantial. Normally, such actions might not be a problem as more research and fact findings would clearly up and provide more concrete evidence to support whatever theory is more scientific truthful.

But the US and MSM had used such animal origin to demonize China to an extent that it is no more a health issue but a political issue. Which puts China CDC in a very odd position, as MSM has been attacking China from both animal origin theory and lately lab leak theory.

I don't think we can treat COVID 19 as a scientific issue that could resolve from scientific fact finding anymore. It is best for China to not show any leaning since there is no conclusive evidence to point one way or the other. Any attempt to support animal origin would be dismissed and used against China.

China CDC was naive and had overly looked up to US CDC as guidance when in fact the US CDC itself doesn't live up with its hype of expertise and apolitical. Which is why China CDC has been boxed in by MSM in all fronts. No matter what China says and does and provides would only be used against China. It is best just let COVID 19 as it is.

If it is animal origin, then China has already banned consumption of wild animals. There is nothing China could do. If it is lab leak, it probably isn't from China. Without evidence, there is not much you can do.

Or the goal had nothing to do with China for the bioweapon theory. If the goal was to get rid of Trump in 2020 then that worked perfectly because he may have been re-elected based on a strong economy.

Except US suffered far more both economically and in terms of lives lost than China.

In fact from 2019-2022, no major economy performed as well as China (4.5% growth). Not even close.

Are you saying that the virus has evolved to the point in which Americans and Europeans are more genetically disposed to getting infected and damaged by Covid now? If so, are there any studies that point to that phenomenon?

Behaviour-wise they are more likely to flout rules and do something stupid, however, you know what they say, behaviour is determined by genetics
