So the rightward-most, righter-even-than-Trump-and-Hannity, hard-Right and alt-Right, "fear-mongering" and "warmongering", "xenophobic" and "nativist", "racist" and "white nationalist" and "yellow peril"-ist, anticommunist China-hawk, red-in-tooth-and-claw-red-state-redneck, Peasants Party Freedom Caucus Radical Republican, conservative-to-out-conservative-the-conservatives, all-American rah-rah-siss-boom-bah America Firsters, WERE AGAIN THE ONLY ONES TO GET IT RIGHT, and we had it right from the first, back when "coronavirus" was a punchline of the Left and the elite, who conceived it as a sort of hoax of "racist" Republicans. The bug came from the lab.
Coronavirus is not less than the costliest crime in history.
"If the Chicoms truly believed China's 'wet markets' were the source of this virus which hit China first and hardest, then would it not behoove them to shutter those markets, and inasmuch as the totalitarian dictatorship of China has permitted the reopening of the wet markets nationally, what are we left to infer about Beijing's understanding of the true cause of coronavirus?"
"The government of China damned Trump for slamming America's door on China, and threatened the lesser leaders of the lesser nations against doing as Trump had done, long after China's leadership understood that travel abroad from China would spray their contagion to every corner of the planet, so does it not stand to reason that the communist regime in Beijing calculated that coronavirus had knocked China prostrate and the best they could do was to drag the wide world down with them?" What I didn't appreciate by the time I wrote that latter conjecture was that China had forbidden travel from Wuhan to the rest of China, at the same time they demanded travel from China to the wide world including direct from Wuhan.
In light of that and of the explosive developments of April 15, and considering that China at that same time lied to the WHO and through the WHO to the world to conceal the scale of coronavirus, I'd be a fool if I didn't suspect that China's campaign to keep the borders of the world open wide was a calculation, a policy to infect every country on every continent with the Chinese disease, to play the Maoist and seize the opportunity to do to the world deliberately what China had first done through negligence and incompetence to itself.
Now to the question of coronavirus as good-faith medical research, or research for purposes of biological warfare. In 21st Century China all advanced technology and all advanced knowledge is military advancement. Western businesses with operations in China, businesses even which don't make for a very obvious military application like Google, are subject to China's "forced transfer of technology" policy, whereby any technology or knowledge developed by those businesses and unknown to China, is seized by Chinese authorities for the People's Liberation Army. Forced technology transfer is no mysterious or obscure feature of business in China; it's been the fraught subject of Sino-American trade negotiations.
So the dear reader will pardon me if I can't accept that the Maoist dictatorship of China who seize even innocuous technologies for their People's Liberation Army, would never dream of a military application for their own research into viruses, viruses including the Wuhan coronavirus which has just now flattened every economy and society and government worth bothering about, and bearing in mind that global dominion is the express object of the government of China, stated in so many words and repeated routinely.
And at all events the question as a practical matter in the here-and-now, is moot: "If coronavirus is not a Chinese biowar program gone awry, how would it be any different if it were?" "If a general marched into a lab and ordered the boys in the lab coats to isolate or manipulate a virus for flattening an enemy society in the space of weeks, how would the virus they worked up look any different from coronavirus?"
As of April 15 in this annus horribilis of 2020 it is established that the worst estimation of China and the bug, was the truest. Then later that same day the news comes over the transom that China is testing The Bomb, notwithstanding the conventions against nuclear tests.
Coronavirus may be our last but best hope to break from China and to break China, to break communist Chinese power. Sina delenda est.
