Current bottom line:

- 1st response to CoVID occurrence was certainly in Wuhan.

- The closest wild strain of CoVID happens in bats living thousand kilometres from Wuhan

- Wuhan had two institutes which, on record, did gain of function experiments on bat coronaviruses

- Beijing purposefully destroyed DNA evidence, and obliterated the team who first sequenced the CoVID genome

- Chinese authorities were scrambling, and suppressing reporting as early as November, seemingly with a very good idea what they are up to.

I dunno. That would be coincidental. Given that we’ve never had a random outbreak of a new disease similar to this in the past 100 years.

Nopah virus, ebola, these are two examples where we have been very lucky, and the only reason they did not spread too much internationally was that they originated in regions with very strong political regimes.

Luckily, it's not too difficult to contain Ebola considering the symptoms and how transmission occurs.
