In first ten days, the plague went wild
Ten days ago, China reported less than 300 had the virus. The country’s latest update now numbers the infected at over 385,000.
An additional 15,000 in China are suspected of having the virus, but a reported lack of test kits prevents the government from giving an accurate number.
A United States senator is casting major doubt on the Chinese
government’s official story on the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak,
instead hinting that a biosafety laboratory working with the deadliest
pathogens in the world could be the true source. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas dismantled a claim from
China’s communist regime Thursday that pinned the coronavirus outbreak
on a market selling dead and live animals.
“China claimed — for almost two months — that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market,” Cotton wrote on Twitter. “That is not the case.”
In a video accompanying his post, Cotton explained that the Wuhan wet
market (which Cotton incorrectly referred to as a seafood market) has
been shown by experts to not be the source of the deadly contagion.
Cotton referenced a Lancet study
which showed that many of the first cases of the novel coronavirus,
including patient zero, had no connection to the wet market —
devastatingly undermining China’s claim.
“As one epidemiologist said: ‘That virus went into the seafood market before it came out of the seafood market.’ We still don’t know where it originated,” Cotton said. “I would note that Wuhan also has China’s only bio-safety
level four super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly
pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus.”
Watch Cotton’s full comments below.

Cotton appears to be referring to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the country’s foremost virus research facility.
The Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, which is part of the institute, is located only 20 miles from the Wuhan wet market, the “official” source of the outbreak according to China.
