It was quite a sideways smirk, as he said "they have every incentive to make sure this goes well." I'm telling you all.... he has something on them.

Well the fact that their entire economy is dependent on exports to the US and other countries is incentive enough. If they were to play games with our medical supplies at a time like this there would be a massive push to pull manufacturing out of China.

The Fed's scrambling these past few weeks indicates to me that they got caught. They've essentially stowed away the strongest tool they can use to siphon away wealth - the Fed funds rate.

From what I read early early on is that it has a "spike" protein on it that doesn't naturally occur, its put on their by scientists testing it for something.

Here's an article that joins the dots and makes the case quite compellingly:

Here's the primary source peer reviewed article about the creation of the hybrid virus:

Here's a followup paper published shortly afterwards blasting them for creating such a virus and pointing out the risks:

Thank you very much. I might just be a bench chemist, but I found the article pretty compelling.

Do you have any thoughts other than the obvious, "because everyone would panic really really bad," that this information wouldn't be put on blast?

To me, it seems likely that this heightened response to "flatten the curve," is due to the fact that they know how bad it truly will be.

I think that any government officially acknowledging this idea that the virus is human-engineered would have several undesirable side-effects. One is the obvious - total panic. But more subtly, it would be an international diplomatic incident; and in that scenario, you keep your powder dry. Any evidence you have that it's actually China's fuckup is more powerful the less publicly known it is.

But yeah, I think it's fucking bad, and the Chinese response shows they knew, pretty much straight away.

Yeah I definitely picked up on that. Not sure if he was insinuating military strength or something else but there was definitely something more to that statement.
