Part of me doesn’t want to believe it but I’m afraid there is a chance that’s correct. If anybody thinks that is crazy talk ask yourself what would your reaction be if it originated in Russia? China managed to influence an American election on levels Putin could only dream of. Putin would never have the balls to do what China has done.
The fact you think it was man made and produced to affect the election really seals it for me. That is such a insanely self centered way to look at this. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE IT CAME FROM. You fight it as best you can. Losers focus on a scapegoat... I mean at the leadership level. We commoners can talk about that all we want. I still think declaring a scapegoat is the easy way out here though.
I don't know how it came about. We will probably never know.
The Spanish Flu is roughly thought to have come from a pig farm in Kansas. So it is definitely possible it was some random animal to person transmission. I mean cats seem to be able to get it...minks... So it seems to be of natural origins. Not that I know what a human produced virus would be like though. There has never been one so to jump to that conclusion is a big stretch IMO.
