It seems possible if not probable. The US does gain from weakening China during the trade talks and Israel is one of the world's leading nations in biotech. They're also notoriously close-lipped about their bioweapon program, more so than even their nuclear program. I could certainly see our precious little protectorate sending over an agent in return for a pat on the head. It wouldn't take much-- just sprinkle it into somebody's soup. I’m gonna go with Occam’s Razor here.

The virus is known to have been caused by a bat. What more evidence do you want?

. . . at least according to some media reports in Arab countries.
I certainly wouldn't put it past either Mossad or the CIA, who both have a history of dirty tricks and a proven record of no scruples. But it is difficult to see what Mossad would get out of it, unless demonstrating proof of concep t and warning Chin a off any alliance with Iran. Risky. But not much mire far fetched than other conspiracy theories originating from Mark Zuckerbergs kingdom. Sometimes I think you are from another planet.

You can’t take anything seriously from Bart. He is a confessed troll who writes deliberately false things to wind people up. He’s meaningless. Hedgehog came here on a spaceship designed to look like a meteor, though.

I'm more like a modern day Cassandra. It's shocking how many of my predictions, no matter how ridiculous, turn out to be accurate.

In any event, it's no land for sane minds.

The tariffs damaged our economy, too. The goal is long-term gains. If China's economy hits a rut, they'll need to import more to rebuild and make up their losses. Can't run a factory when your workers are dropping dead. Even that’s too insane for Trump. China is as vital to the world economy as America and the EU. Not only that, but it would be very risky (to say the least) to start an epidemic deliberately hoping that it would remain contained in China, in this day and age.

That's become a cliche by now. They say that about all his novels.
It's true. He has some really good plots, and knows how to write characters, but he can't write a decent ending (except for his short stories) to save his life. I thought he did just fine with 11/22/63.

Oops. So you believe all the "news" stories coming out of Facebook and Instagram?  Coronavirus came from Chinese eating bat soup? Coronavirus can be cured by hot lemon and whisky drink? Chinese are all boasting they are sneaking in by ticking the box saying they come from Hong Kong, not Wuhan? Those diabolical Chinese.

Another conspiracy I've seen is the situation gives China the excuse it needs to clamp down on Hong Kong and the rest of their country to prevent those'freedom protests' from garninging any more support and effectiveness.
