Sources believe coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab as part of China's efforts to compete with US
h/t Instapundit
[Fox News] - There is increasing confidence that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.
Now that makes sense. My experience with Chinese "scientists" is that the f*cktards are technically superb, insanely competitive - leading to cutting corners, and have nothing - even remotely - resembling the ability to look at a broad picture. If they were military, they'd be "All tactics, no strategy".

#2 This theory is entirely plausible. Their initial delay in reporting, deception, and rush to buy up global supplies of PPE only contributes to the theory. The bastards are ruthlessly mercantile, long referred to as the Amish of the orient.

The bio-weapon theory should not be totally discounted. The two theories are certainly not mutually exclusive.

I doubt it will matter much however. The euphoria of a residing virus, return to normalcy, and throngs of shoppers hitting the Chinese box stores, will send the market skyward. All sins will be forgiven as await the next self-inflicted crisis.

#3 After so many excuses, we're in the 'throw it against the wall and see if it sticks' game?
