What the snakes name? Aha, got you!

There is a possibility, but - and this is the important bit - absolutely no evidence whatsoever. There's a possibility it was sent here by sentient octopi from planet Zog as well.

Whereas there is evidence of it being transmitted bat->snake->human.

But there is a possibility that the virus was accidentally released by the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

From my understanding, in order to have a natural mutation of the virus, you need two separate animal sources plus a human all in regular proximity, eg the Wuhan wet market. However, it looks possible either way or a mix of both.

I do hope you're not bringing facts into this.

This is it. Just needs a bit of fleshing out.

The West conspired to make the virus and released it into the bat / pangolin population in China.
Then China falls ill and production grinds to a halt.
The West allow their own citizens to get ill to ensure there is sufficient levels of panic but they have the cure in their back pocket, which is why Trump is so blase.
This then leads to standing up of local supply chains that no longer rely on China.
Somewhere in the West "discovers" the vaccine / cure / voodoo that gets rid of it.
Production lines remain local and China's ecomony collapses and they're back being the poor man of the East where Trump wants them to be.

In 2015, the Institute published successful research on whether a bat coronavirus could be made to infect HeLa. A team from the Institute engineered a hybrid virus, combining a bat coronavirus with a SARS virus that had been adapted to grow in mice and mimic human disease. The hybrid virus was able to infect human cells.[8][9]

In December 2019, cases of pneumonia associated with an unknown coronavirus were reported to health authorities in Wuhan. The Institute checked its coronavirus collection and found the new virus was 96 percent identical to a sample its researchers had taken from horseshoe bats in southwest China.[10]

The Institute was rumored as a source for the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic as a result of allegations of bioweapon research,[17][18] a concept that some US experts have rejected, noting that the Institute was not suitable for bioweapon research, that most countries had abandoned bioweapons as fruitless, and that there was no evidence that the virus was genetically engineered.[5][17]

In February 2020, virus expert and global lead coronavirus investigator Trevor Bedford observed that "The evidence we have is that the mutations [in the virus] are completely consistent with natural evolution".[19] On the other hand, even before the outbreak of the pandemic, some virologists questioned whether previous experiments on creating novel coronaviruses in the lab justified the potential risk of accidental release.[20]

From my understanding, in order to have a natural mutation of the virus, you need two separate animal sources plus a human all in regular proximity, eg the Wuhan wet market. However, it looks possible either way or a mix of both.

Arguably the West will need to onshore more manufacturing in case something similar happens in the future.

What competition??? The rest of the world are china’s customers. Nobody else builds anything.
Not the dumbest conspiracy I’ve read about the virus, but it’s up there.

Perhaps its the Chinese world takeover strategy.

1. Develop pandemic virus that'll kill people.
2. Develop the antidote too.
3. Release it on your own populace and allow it to spread.
4. Quietly fix your own problem.
5. Watch competitors close down.
6. Provide questionable support and help to show you're a good guy.
7. Restart your own economy.
8. Watch whilst the competition withers and dies.
9. You win.

Take your pick....

Spoil sport!

I love a good conspiracy theory.

That's not a great one but it's better than space aliens.

But not as good is Icke's lizard men.

Lizard men FTW! I bet they're behind this virus malarkey
