Although I think, from skimming the report, there is probably enough information to say that this (1) wasn't intentional and (2) is possibly a lab leak.

That is enough to say that it will probably happen again in our lifetime from an actual lab leak. We have the technology, the world is large, there are a lot of foolish researchers in it. We need to be more prepared to curtail or cease international travel.



If intentional, would China shoot itself in the foot by releasing a deadly virus in its own major cities and infect potentially millions/billions?

Or would the US and its allies release a virus it knowingly funded (for plausible deniability) in a state it constantly calls its 'greatest adversary & threat' during the 2019 war games?

One of these seems more likely than the other to an objective observer since this isn't the first time the US and its allies have engaged in chemical & bio-warfare against the Chinese.

The foreign aircraft carriers and war ships surrounding the Chinese coast are perhaps yet another clue...


It has already happened multiple times previously in our lifetime:
