    It's possible, of course, but the evidence should probably be more than "covid was first found in a place that was actively researching and looking for viruses like covid".

    China was accused of responding slowly and covering up the extent of the outbreak, before it locked down the entire city of Wuhan and surrounding areas in the first of a series of draconian measures labeled “zero-COVID” which continue today as much of the rest of the world is opening up again.

    China bad for not locking down soon enough, but also China bad for locking down at all.

      they didn't even cover anything up. they literally sequenced the genetics and sent it to everyone within a WEEK of finding out covid was a thing. they were lightning fast. it took them about a week to determine that covid could be capable of sustained human to human transmission and that one week is where the "china covered it up" claims come from. you seriously think that any western country could act faster? (rhetorical question)

      I think it would take the US at least a half year IMO to do what China did in 2 weeks.

        It was in the US for three months at least before they found the first case, and they only found it because they knew what to look for.

      What really gets me about the "China dropped the ball" narrative is that COVID-19 looks an awful lot like a cold or flu and started appearing during cold and flu season.
