Coronavirus may have been a 'cell-culture experiment' gone wrong
2020-05-26
[Sky News (AUS)] EXCLUSIVE: The coronavirus that has become a world-wide pandemic may have been created in a "cell-culture experiment" in a laboratory, according to prominent scientists who have conducted ground-breaking research into the origins of the virus.

Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky has completed a scientific study, currently undergoing peer review, in conjunction with La Trobe University in Victoria, which found COVID-19 was uniquely adapted for transmission to humans, far more than any other animal, including bats.

Professor Petrovsky, from the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University who has spent the past 20 years developing vaccines against pandemic influenza, Ebola and animal SARS, said this highly unusual finding left open the possibility that the virus leaked from a laboratory.

Momentarily curious the fellow is Russian.

#3  The last statement found from the Office of Natl Intelligence: ODNI News Release No. 11-20, April 30, 2020. Intelligence Community Statement on Origins of COVID-19
WASHINGTON, D.C. “The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to U.S. policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified.
“As we do in all crises, the Community’s experts respond by surging resources and producing critical intelligence on issues vital to U.S. national security. The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

Oh really, imagine that will you ?

"Gone wrong".... or gone totally right. You must decide.
