China's ‘bat woman' researcher repeats Dem talking points, warns coronavirus is just ‘tip of iceberg'

[NYP] China’s "bat woman" researcher warns that the deadly coronavirus surfacing now is "just the tip of the iceberg" in terms of what humans may soon face without a global effort to prevent similar infectious outbreaks.

"If we want to prevent human beings from suffering from the next infectious-disease outbreak, we must go in advance to learn of these unknown viruses carried by wild animals in nature and give early warnings," Shi Zhengli, a top Chinese scientist specializing in viral transmissions from bats, told CGTN in an interview that aired Monday.

"If we don’t study [the viruses], there will possibly be another outbreak," warned Shi, whose was dubbed "bat woman" by the press because of her research involving the mammals.
"I mean, we go entire weeks without observing proper safety protocols. Anything could happen!" *chortles*

#2 "If we want to prevent human beings from suffering from the next infectious-disease outbreak, we must go in advance to learn of these unknown viruses carried by wild animals in nature and give early warnings,"

Or we can say and do nothing for weeks, months. Vast quantities of PPE can be clandestinely purchased in advance of a full outbreak. Outside inspectors and researchers can be prohibited from visiting Wuhan and learning more. A vast disinformation campaign can be quickly assembled to blame animals, Gaia, and westerners.

She did stop short of recommending universal mail-in ballots for the upcoming election.
