A growing number of scientists are raising the possibility COVID-19 was created in a laboratory, saying the option cannot be ruled out.
Leading immunologists and geneticists have told Sky News that there are two unusual things about COVID-19 that open the door to it being man-made rather than a naturally-occurring virus.
The first curious characteristic of COVID-19 is that the virus binds to human ACE2 receptor cells more strongly than it does to any other animal, including bats.
The second unusual thing about the virus that causes COVID-19 is that it has what’s called a “furin cleavage site” that its closest genetic bat-coronavirus relative, RaTG-13, does not have.

Who with even a few working brain cells didn't suspect this might be the case?
Especially when it was pooh-poohed and denied and marked as conspiracy theory so rapidly when it was suggested?
And especially given the deep state/democrat axis utilization of it to tank the economy and smear the President?
The traitors in our government (at all levels) who are helping the Chinese need to be standing in front of a wall pretty soon.
(after a fair, 5-min trial, of course.)

Sharri, this information is three months old. There are a lot of holes in your piece. For example, you didn't discuss where the Wuhan lab acquired the predecessor virus sample from in order to synthesize the COVID 19 strain. Information in February suggested the University of Texas had supplied the sample as approved by none other than Fauci at the NIH. Another news source out of Canada reported that the predecessor virus sample was acquired in 2018 from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg Canada. The Chinese nationals who worked at NML and facilitated shipping the sample were subsequently fired and never heard from again. The Canadian press also reported that in 2019 Chinese managers and researchers at the NML who helped arrange the virus sample shipment were suspended without pay and are currently under criminal investigation. Next time, Sharri, do your homework better.

If so, Faucci is clearly at fault here.

Yes. After due consultation with the DNC!

Think what you want but I'm sticking to my proposal that these dangerous Coronaviruses are popping up out of ice cores that contain ice, and ANCIENT VIRUSES from 15,000 years ago when the Mega Fauna started dying off ~ the Mastadons, Columbians, Saber Toothed Tigers, giant elk, etc ~
It's the AGW people doing all the ice core work, and we all know who they are. I proposed that my thesis could be tested by infecting some elephants with Corona Virus and see if they die.
Lo and behold the first major story of large scale elephant deaths just popped up in the news!
Botswana reports finding hundreds of carcases ~ with no signs of having been shot by poachers. https://africa.cgtn.com/2020/05/19/56-elephants-mysteriously-died-in-botswana/

It doesn't matter if it came from Mars! The issue is that the Chinese inflicted it on the World. China must pay.

I am still skeptical. This assumes skills that the ChiComs may well not have. They are more incompetent than most think.
And, frankly, most military and actual governments gave up on bioweapons long ago, recognizing that they were uncontrollable. Only insane 7th century types are willing to do this sort of stuff, and they are fortunately, so far, incapable.

Re #9. I agree. I think it's mainly incompetence. Another theory is that the low-paid, clean-up employees at the Wuhan lab were taking the 'used' or dead bats to the wet market and selling them for extra cash. I have no idea if this is true but it would not be too much of a stretch to see a bats-to-human connection in that case.

Dr Fakeie and Dr Scarf Lady conspired with the WHO and the Chinese and the Martians to create this perfectly engineered biological weapon of mass destruction so they can get a book deal and big speaking fees after it's all over.

#9, more incompetent is impossible. incompetent is an absolute condition, sort of comparable to dead. One can't be more dead than someone else who is dead.
Less competent, however, is a possible condition. I consider most people to be less competent than I, and that works out pretty well for me.
That's why I'm correcting your statement - that, and the fact that Antiques Roadshow is not on PBS tonight. And people are rioting, even here in Erie, Pa. (Although last night, the police told the protesters/rioters/anarchists to stop, go home, and they did!)

It may have been created in a Wuhan lab as a bioweapons experiment, since the genetic intervention is aimed directly at infecting humans. Maybe our CIA can drop their Trump and domestic political spying and go investigate to find out what happened.

I said that from the get go.
I always thought it was weaponized.

This needs more investigating. Since two months ago the American media have been parroting the WHO party line, but his looks a lot like a biological warfare move by China.
