VIRUS: A Chinese plot

What do we know about the origins of the COVID-19 virus?

No one disputes the fact that it began in the city of Wuhan, in Wuhan province, China.

There are only two likely scenarios: (a) from the “wet” market, where exotic meats are sold; and (b) from the military lab where the Chinese were developing a deadly virus, which could be used as a WMD against us in time of war.

However, if you can’t trust a ruthless communist government, who can you trust? In a nuclear war with both sides killing perhaps 340 million people, that would kill all of us Americans, but it would still leave more than a billion Chinese to rule the planet.

From their point of view, it would be a small price to pay in exchange for world domination. Remember when the Mongols invaded China they considered killing all the people in China and turning it into horse pasture. This is not the type of mindset that we are used to.
