No, I don't believe it was a bio-weapon developed to target foreign nations. Aerosol diseases are just too unpredictable as we've seen, I would suspect a bodily-fluid transmitted disease much more, if a sudden outbreak arose in a developed nation with no obvious vectors.
This is just mother nature taking advantage of human desperation/stupidity to teach us a lesson.
That being said. Depending on how insanely evil you were you could do this:
1) Purposely develop a disease that you know will create a pandemic, lethal enough to scare the shit out of everyone, but not lethal enough to threaten world-wide extinction. Make sure it leaves the kids alone, kids don't have money or power. Make sure it targets middle-aged/older people who are the power/money demograph, that way the rich and politic peeps will fall over themselves trying to prevent the infection spreading (to them).
2) Release it into your own population first. No-one would ever believe you are that crazy.
3) This makes sure that your country recovers first. So does your economy.
4) Watch as your enemies tear their own economies apart in reaction. Also laugh because your country manufactures almost all of the drugs and medical supplies they need.
But no, I don't believe this. Makes a good conspiracy theory though.

the world is watching capitalism's failure to perform in a crisis that unequivocally exposes how ugly and incompetent it truly is.

You guys ever read Cory Doctorow..? Dunno how feasible his concept of collective high-tech gift societies is, but might serve as a halfway house to something better.the world is watching capitalism's failure to perform in a crisis that unequivocally exposes how ugly and incompetent it truly is.
I dunno how incompetent it may be, its biggest oversight atm. has simply been to cut everything so back to the bone in the name of efficiency, that there are zero stockpiles for out-of-context emergencies like uh, a pandemic out of nowhere.
You realise though, if the powers that be had upheld a policy of stockpiling, and maintained redundant capabilities massive enough to absorb the effects of a possible future global pandemic... that the same people condemning it now for capitalism's shortfalls would have been condemning it back then for wasting precious resources on useless, gloom-mongering pessimism.
Humans. Gotta love 'em. We are complicit people, every time we chose to buy a product that was cheaper than the others without ever sparing a thought as to WHY it was cheaper.

Actually they've encoded themselves into your junk DNA. As soon as you've recovered from covid 19 and developed resistance, your body will spin a strange coccoon and then promptly turn into soup. From the goo will emerge the fresh, wrinkled form of a member of the Shadowy Council of the Golden Dawn. Covid 19 is not actually a disease at all but a catalyst for the final revolution.
All praise the Hierophant..!!!

Sure, it's just a coincidence that a lab working on the corona virus and the exact species of bat said to be the origin of the disease happens to be in Wuhan AND this is a lab that State Department officials wrote a memo back home to say that the safety was not good at this lab. It is also a lab that the US gov had invested millions in.Meno_ wrote:There is no evidence to suggest that the virus was created in a Chinese laboratory.
this just shows ignorance of how viruses in gain or effect research are experimented on and enhanced. Or it is disinformation. Check out the virologist Chakra superstar posted a video of here....Richard Ebright, a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, said in an interview with The Washington Post: “Based on the virus genome and properties, there is no indication whatsoever that it was an engineered virus.”
And if you listen to the virologist, she explains how she tinkered with viruses in the openended way they do, in gain of effect experiments, in wildlife tissues. It is not engineering. It's not cut and paste. This is bs denial.The Scripps Research Institute released a study that rejects the notion that the virus was man-made. Researchers concluded that if the virus were engineered, its genome sequence would more closely resemble earlier and more serious versions of the coronavirus.
“If someone were seeking to engineer a new coronavirus as a pathogen, they would have constructed it from the backbone of a virus known to cause illness,” the report said. “But the scientists found that the SARS-CoV-2 backbone differed substantially from those of already known coronaviruses and mostly resembled related viruses found in bats and pangolins.”
A statement in the Lancet, a medical journal, written by public health officials who have been following the progression of the virus also asserted that animals are the likely source: “Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”
