[ExI] virus scenario

[spike at rainier66.com]

This scenario doesn’t require a conspiracy.

 

The virus research center in Wuhan uses bats a lot because they are known to carry corona viruses.  

 

Imagine some low level employee, a slacker who never studied at all, hired by the lab to clean the bat cages for 10 yuan an hour (about 1.40 USD.)  She removes dead or dying bats every day.  

 

End of shift, the hungry employee takes the sack of dead and dying bats to the nearby wet market, trades them for a bowl of rice, one of the bats is carrying Covid19, it spreads from there, the Chinese government covers it up going so far as to arrest, threaten and silence any people within the People’s Republic of China would warn the world, people die.

 

No conspiracy theory needed, the entire scenario perfectly plausible.
