Why were the Chinese so secretive about the coronavirus outbreak?

I have to wonder, hmmmmmmmmmm.........

And what's really in General Tso's chicken? Hmmmmmmmmm....

Don't mind me. I'm just a Chinese bot. That's why my sig is a cute panda cuddling a ball. I can be divisive and adorable all at the same time.

Is your name even Terence? Where is the second r? Who do you work for?

Wondering is a good therapy technique.

And this is really the better question... I can only imagine the question posed in the thread title is rhetorical...

 

[Terence Millar]

OK, were the Chinese secretive?

Racist.

They created a monster and it escaped them. I mean, how embarrassing.

Oooops!

It’s all just a coincidence that skunk and bat were on the lunch menu at the commissary of the Chinese bioweapons lab that day...

 

[JimBowie1958]

Because it is really a bio-weapon that they lost control of?

Ooooops!

Probably not. I don’t see the Chinese shooting themselves in the foot just to get even. They’re too Spock-like.

I dont think that the COVID19 virus was deliberately released.

They just fucked up, being the old, tired corrupt incompetent Commies that they are.

From what I have read about viruses, normally what mutates is the receptor layer which has the 'keys' to getting into the host cell. It defeats the cells normal barriers to entry. The Receptor layer mutation is why flus and things like the COVID19 type viruses are so hard to control, they evolve faster, one mutation every six months or so.

With co-mingling of two different viruses, you get a mix of not only the Receptor layer, but also the underlying DNA/RNA as well. This usually happens when two different viruses infect the same cell simultaneously. A hybrid virus emerges that has a mingling of the Receptor layer as well as the DNA/RNA core.

The COVID19 virus has not changed at the Receptor layer from the registered virus the Chicoms bought back in 2018 I think it was. The Receptor layer is the same, but the DNA/RNA core has changed, which as I understand it is very unusual. This sort of mutation is called antigen mutation.
