Sources Now Say That Coronavirus Likely Leaked from Chinese Lab

Reports seem to indicate that this is China’s Chernobyl.

The world is growing ever more skeptical of China as the days go on, thanks to an apparent culpability that they’ve cultivated for themselves over this coronavirus kerfuffle.

Beijing had originally told the world that this outbreak of coronavirus occurred via a wet market in the city of Wuhan.  Now, experts aren’t so sure.

There is increasing confidence that the COVID-19 outbreak likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory, though not as a bioweapon but as part of China’s attempt to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China’s government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.

This may be the “costliest government cover-up of all time,” one of the sources said.

The implications of this news could alter world history irreversibly.

The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus – a naturally occurring strain that was being studied there – was bat-to-human and that “patient zero” worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.

The “increasing confidence” comes from classified and open-source documents and evidence, the sources said. Fox News has requested to see the evidence directly. Sources emphasized — as is often the case with intelligence — that it’s not definitive and should not be characterized as such. Some inside the administration and the intelligence and epidemiological communities are more skeptical, and the investigation is continuing.

What all of the sources agree about is the extensive cover-up of data and information about COVID-19 orchestrated by the Chinese government.

If this truly is China’s Chernobyl, then there is no telling what sort of recompense world leaders will recommend.
