You fella's need to settle this the gentlemanly way and duel. Pea gravel from wrist rockets at ten paces. Wear safety goggle's, we don't want anyone losing an eye.
The 77LJS op seems to be to young to remember the Cold War and Putin hollering, "Unleash the Nukes, Mevedev!", every couple of day's has him rattled? He seems to be reading from the same CIA White Papers I had to study in the late 70's/early 80's on the KGB in college. I miss the Commies.
Bud's got a point. Covid originated in or around Wuhan, China. A lot of diseases originate in China due to the density of the population and the traditional open-air animal markets in the towns and cities. There are lots of vectors for new diseases to arise, or old diseases to find a new host, mutate and spread. The simple fact is their are too many people competing for too few resources. When that happens, pathogens arise to thin the species out that's overcrowding it's niche. Nature is simply balancing the books. Calling Covid ,"The China Flu" is blunt, but it's not completely inaccurate. After all, it didn't originate in Canada, and we all know the Canadians are plotting to get us.
Just ask Shortwave Listener and SIGINT. Probably both bona fide members of the top secret Canadian Intel Unit known as "The Possum Lodge".
