Within the last several months the world has received a number of conflicting reports coming out of Communist China, concerning the Coronavirus. According to The World Health Organization (WHO), as of  February 21^st the virus has claimed over 2,236 lives in mainland China alone, with over 76,000 people known to be infected worldwide.

So far the WHO has confirmed that the virus has spread to Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Iran, Israel, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the UAE, the UK, the US, and Vietnam.

However the origin of the virus is still very much in doubt and any information coming out of China should be taken with a high dose of suspicion, considering China’s past performance in attempting to downplay the disease, by actually censoring physicians and arresting those that attempted to alert other healthcare professionals around the world, to the growing threat.

Least we forget the struggle currently taking place in Hong Kong, concerning the repressive regime.

Moreover, according to a new report by the Population Research Institute, published by the New York Post on Saturday, China’s Coronavirus epidemic may have “allegedly” originated in a Chinese laboratory, where technicians supposedly sold infected laboratory animals to the notorious “wet markets” for cash.

President Steven W. Mosher who runs the Population Research Institute and authored the article speculates that Beijing’s official version of how this new strand of virus came to be simply doesn’t jell.

In that the Chinese city of Wuhan where the epidemic first originated along with the microbiology lab are in close proximity to one another, leading skeptics like Mosher to question China’s initial claims.

Since the early days of the crisis, rumors have persisted that the Chinese government wasn’t being forthcoming; skeptics have surmised that the mishap might have been caused by a military lab accidentally releasing the virus, which some suspect may have been in the process of being designed as a secret biological weapon.

Mosher’s theory isn’t just speculation, he points out within his article that the suspected lab that may have released the virus is the only Level 4 microbiology lab in China located only a few miles from the city Wuhan.

In fact,  a new directive just enacted directly targeting the facility by the Ministry of Science and Technology ordering the lab to strengthen its procedures in containing their experiments.

Also according to Mosher, soon after the outbreak in January, Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, the Chinese military’s top expert in biological warfare, was dispatched to Wuhan, to handle the crisis which quickly became unmanageable.

“This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bio-weapons research labs in all of China,” Mosher, surmised.

What is perhaps most disturbing (if true), is Mosher’s belief that Chinese lab technicians sold experimental animals to food vendors, that carried the deadly virus, instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires.

However, considering the virus broke out in or near the only Level 4 microbiology lab in China, many believe that China may be secretly attempting to develop new strains of chemical bioweapons, which is in direct violation of international law.

Moreover according to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax.

This latest crisis coming out of China should be a wake-up call that America needs to be on guard, and ready to respond to any threat regardless if its incompetence or something more sinister from the Communist regime.
