Wuhan marks its anniversary with triumph and denial
www.bbc.com
In the city where the virus first emerged there is now an insistence that it came from elsewhere.

Favs included:

  • The West can't stop the virus because it has sooo much freedom!

  • OoOoOOoOoh what if the virus came from an spooky chinese lab

  • The chinese support their government (y'know the one that saved them from the virus while the west is still letting millions die a year later) therefore they are brainwashed

    Friendly reminder that a virus that mutates is entirely unique to viruses that are created in nature, mutations are still not entirely understood by biologists today. This whole Wuhan lab tangent shit makes zero sense whatsoever.

      "Friendly reminder that a virus that mutates is entirely unique to viruses that are created in nature"

      What? All viruses come from nature, even engineered ones come from natural source material. Building organisms from scratch is still outside our ability, and even if we could they would still mutate.
