  1. Who the hell locates a virology lab in the centre of a crowded city apart from the Umbrella Corp?!

  2. Can you imagine America or Britain allowing Chinese or Russian investigators into their nation to investigate if the tables were reversed?

  3. If Trump's opinions were based on more than bigotry and guesswork, maybe you'd have a point.

  5.  @someguy5975  So you're saying that the Chinese are so concerned with plausible deniability, that they would endanger millions of their own people? Sound distinctly IMplausible to me. And how has this helped the trade war? Trade with China has been crippled, they lost the big postage price con they were pulling, and now they're unpopular and untrusted across the globe. It seems to me as though they are far worse off.

  8.  @XMysticHerox  The same level of hazard? The issue is not a virus research lab - the issue is a DEADLY virus research lab. If there are 3 of these in London, then that's appalling.

  9.  @lamrof  Given that China blatantly STEALS 90% of its technology from companies in the West, they have little to be proud of. But yes, no surprise that they would have their own weapons research.

  10.  @edc1569  IIt's in the Wuchang District - surrounded by city in all directions and pretty central.

  11.  @XMysticHerox  It stuns me that they would place labs of that sort in major cities. Whatever it costs to locate them away from people is what they have to pay. It should not be up for debate. If it's important research, I'd sooner fund that than send money in aid to other countries, or pay for welfare for so-called refugees. But then we live on a planet where industries say it's too expensive not to kill the whole planet with their emissions.

  12.  @danielschmaderer  Yeah, exactly. Maybe this is one of the great filters that stops civilisations becoming truly advanced.

  13.  @XMysticHerox  China is considered to be a first world nation. Also, it's considered to have infested Europe via Italy - definitely a first world nation. It seems to me that one of the reasons it spread was the secretiveness of the Chinese government, and the stupidity of our own. I agree that climate change is a global issue. I do NOT agree that this pandemic needed to be.

  14.  @XMysticHerox  " but I am sure you know better." It's not a matter if I know better mr Passive aggressive. I actually looked it up and misread the answer. However, by at least one of the definitions, the USA is not a first world nation either as it does not have a stable democracy.

  15.  @XMysticHerox  Nope, but nice try. I was illustrating that the definition is so vague and wooly that even an obviously first world nation such as the USA fails to meet the criteria. Anyway, we're done, you're wasting my time.

  16.  @eastsideeric7165  I agree, to an extent.

  17. @Emoji TBH, that wouldn't surprise me. If it's natural, I don't care where it arose first.
