I've listened to Rush Limbaugh and other Conservative hosts for a while now, off and on, and from January and early February, when the virus was starting to gain the attention of the media and others I thought it would be dangerous to dismiss this virus as yet another flu. I say that only because I don't trust the Chinese and I don't believe that this virus just originated in the Wet Markets of Wuhan. China's government is clamping down on any investigation that might identify the source of the virus also, at least some are saying that's the case. It doesn't help to "Google" information about China as Google is trying it's best to not offend China as are many other entities in the west.
I, though, believe that the wet markets are not the origin of the virus but rather the P4 (BioSafety Level 4) Lab Wuhan Institute of Virology where research is done on viruses and quite possibly manipulation of Viruses that they may be used as a bioweapon against the enemies of China, or the United States and other countries like Japan and Taiwan. This is one reason that I believe such strict steps are being taken by Nations around the world and such efforts are being utilized in finding a treatment/vaccine/cure for it. I also don't think that the public will ever know, for sure, what the answer is and that if that is the case it will be one of the highest (biggest) coverups ever.
Yes, maybe it's a conspiracy theory that everyone that has it will be labeled a loon or someone not to be trusted but while on the surface there are other diseases and viruses that kill more and have been around without the efforts being expended toward this virus. Maybe everything is above board and honest and truthful but if that's the case this certainly has set a precedent for reaction toward a virus as SARS and the Bird Flu didn't receive such concern and reactions. Yes, this virus is similar to the Cornovirus of 1918 also known as the Spanish flu but who is to say that the Chinese Virus lab wasn't working with that virus also and working to manipulate it?
I just don't think that we know much about what's actually going on and just how dangerous this might be or if everything is above board then why the exceptional response to this virus where others have not received the same?
