Either way, it should be called the Trump Flu because by far the worst outbreak in the entire world happened in the USA under his watch.

If you just keep broadcasting the same lie over and over it seems like truth

On the other hand, there's a compelling case that the virus was manufactured in a lab in Wuhan:

If that's really true, then that might explain why they're trying so hard to blame anyone but themselves.

Of course you believe the numbers released by the Chinese Communist Party about how many people died in China. Id would say the death toll in China is at least 5 times higher than they admit, especially in the beginning. Hospitals in Wuhan were filled to capacity and people died on the street without even being admitted and of course those won't count toward the official tally. Even the real tally is most likely altered to make the government look less bad.

her claims were ripped to shreds in peer reviews - https://rapidreviewscovid19.mitpress...275c/release/2

she's being used as a mouthpiece by Bannon, which is saying a lot (about her lack of credibility).

that youtuber is an anti-china fellow whose entire channel is based on badmouthing china.
the virus being manufactured in a wuhan lab was already debunked - https://rapidreviewscovid19.mitpress...275c/release/2

one thing is for sure. their govt handled it much better than ours.
we can't even get our stories straight on whether masks are helpful. the CDC changes their story every other week.

I saw that report on Italy in the news today and I am wondering what it means.
Since there was a lot of travel between northern Italy and China, the virus might have been brought to Italy by Chinese tourists or businessmen, or the other way round, i.e. those got infected in Italy and took it to China.

And what happened to the Barcelona story? That was months ago, has it still not been peer-reviewed and confirmed or refuted?!

Wuhan just "happened' to be where the lab studying it is located.

I mean,..it's sorta obvious. Some negligence got it out. And travel between Europe and China is huge. Anyone could of gotten it and brought it over.

The rest is ongoing history.

Not necessarily. Northern Italy is home to a lot of bats as well, the virus might have originated there.
Interesting study from 2011:

Or in Spain:
