......after destroying samples and records instrumental to investigation of the source,

Is that just yet another xenophobia conspiracy theory, yet another Trump diversion blame game, or are there reliable links for that random accusation?

China officials knew of coronavirus in December, ordered cover-up, report says

By Sara Dorn
February 29, 2020

In late December, several genomics companies tested samples from sick patients in Wuhan — the center of the coronavirus outbreak — and noticed alarming similarities between their illnesses and the 2002 SARS virus, the Sunday Times of London reported, citing Chinese business news site Caixin Global.

The researchers alerted Beijing of their findings — and on Jan. 3, received a gag order from China’s National Health Commission, with instructions to destroy the samples.

Always consider the source.
According to an LA Times article, the New York Post was reported to be the preferred newspaper of U.S. President Donald Trump, who maintains frequent contact with its owner, Rupert Murdoch. The Post, According to a survey conducted by Pace University in 2004, was rated the least-credible major news outlet in New York.

Thanks for that.

Which all comes back to what we already know:

Deadly silly politics playing with people's lives. Meanwhile science and random science labs randomly get victimised and pulled into the blame game mess.

No new news for that one then. Let's move on.

Gotta luv the way the Chinese Government has manipulated the gullible into believing they are 'innocent' victims of Covid............

.......while rattling sabers in the S China Sea,

......while massing troops and military equipment on the border between Tibet(a conquered state), and India,

......while sending in the shock troops and trampling the Freedom they GUARANTEED for Hong Kong,

......while threatening any country (US, Australia, UK, etc.) who dares to question THEIR version of the Pandemic,

......while attempting coercion and threatening to cut off supplies of life saving medicines and equipment to the rest of the world,

......after destroying samples and records instrumental to investigation of the source,

......while telling their military to 'prepare for war',

yup, just a bunch of ingenues going about their business.........

And they had Trump suckered all the way.
In the first four months of 2020 Trump praised the Chinese government and defended the performance of General Xi at least 37 times.

In the last 24hrs Brazil out did the U.S. by recording over 22,000 new cases, became the 2nd country to pass 400,000 reported cases and passing 25,000 reported deaths putting them into 6th place by total deaths (but it won't be long before they make it to 6th spot).

And sadly some will still persist in continuing with their very open xenophobic ways while denying any wrong doing of any sort from their side of the line.

Australian researchers see virus design manipulation
By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 21, 2020

"A forthcoming Australian scientific study concludes that the coronavirus causing the global pandemic contains unique properties suggesting it was manipulated in a Chinese laboratory and was not the result of a natural occurrence.

Five scientists who conducted the study discovered an unusual ability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as the pathogen behind COVID-19 is called, to easily infect humans.

The scientists said there is no sign so far that the virus can be found in other animals, including bats or the exotic wildlife sold for fresh meat at a market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus was first identified and where China maintains a major laboratory studying such viruses."

Once again consider the source.
Throughout its history, The Washington Times has been known for its conservative political stance.[6][7][8][9] It has published many columns which reject the scientific consensuses on climate change,[10][11][12] on ozone depletion,[13] on the harmful effects of second-hand smoke,[14][15]. It has drawn controversy for publishing racist content, including commentary and conspiracy theories about U.S. President Barack Obama,[16][17] supporting neo-Confederate historical revisionism,[18][19] and promoting Islamophobia.[20] The paper's reporting has been criticized many times, and has been characterized as "lies" and "myths

Dig a little deeper
http://www.operationsholdings.com/our-companies/the-washington-times/
The Washington Times is a daily broadsheet published in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1982 by the founder of the Unification Church, Sun Myung Moon, and until 2010 was owned by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate associated with the church.

The Washington Times was founded in 1982 by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate associated with the Unification Church which also owns newspapers in South Korea, Japan, and South America, as well as the news agency United Press International. Bo Hi Pak, the chief aide of church founder and leaderSun Myung Moon, was the founding president and the founding chairman of the board. Moon asked Richard L. Rubenstein, a rabbi and college professor who had written on the Holocaust, to serve on the board of directors.

At the time of founding of the Times Washington had only one major newspaper, the Washington Post. Massimo Introvigne, in his 2000 book The Unification Church, said that the Post had been “the most anti-Unificationist paper in the United States.” In 2002, at an event held to celebrate the Times’ 20th anniversary, Moon said: “The Washington Times is responsible to let the American people know about God” and “The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world.”


Is there a reason they are called moonies?

While the U.S. continues on its merry way Brazil for the 2nd day in a row has recorded more new cases than the U.S., but the U.S. still recorded more deaths for the same period.

No, they don't.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.06199

Overall, the data indicates that SARSCoV2 is uniquely adapted to infect humans, raising questions as to whether it arose in nature by a rare chance event or whether its origins lie elsewhere.
They raised a question - that's what scientists do. They don't say they've seen something until after the question has been answered.

One question, WHY has no one in China yet produced a bat infected with Covid-19?

Because, like the Unicorn, they don't exist.
