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

    Exactly. Could have been something else causing these detections, but we can't rule it out.

    It's also pretty baffling to me (well not really, it's just western propaganda at work) that being able to detect a new virus in the middle of a flu season, that in most cases is indistinguishable from the flu, is presented as a sign of incompetence on China's part.
