Well, now. It seems that more information is bubbling up to the surface about how the coronavirus emerged as a global pandemic. The Communist government in Beijing proposed thatthe virus originated in a so called "wet market" in the large central city of Wuhan. A wet market is where people so inclined buy live animals for their cooking and eating experience, a tradition in the culture.
Wuhan is also the site of a state-run virology laboratory that studies viruses and other pathogens. This facility is well known and was visited by US Dept. of State personnel in 2018. The report filed by these visitors noted that the facility was not well managed. Personnel working there did not have adequate training in the field; the facility was not properly secured; procedures were lax in the area of personal protections; and supervisors did not perform adequate oversight of individuals' efforts to contain research viruses in their laboratories.
Secretary of State Michael Pompeo acknowledges that they have known of this local situation in Wuhan for sometime, hence the visit by State Dept. personnel in 2018. Despite the statements of the Communist government, it appears there has been a lack of candor from Beijing regarding the operations of the lab.
