Reports: Coronavirus May Have Leaked From Wuhan Microbiology ResearchLab

By Uche Mbah

Coronavirus, the new epidermic that started in Wuhan, China and is now wrecking havoc in Europe and Asia, may have accidentally leaked from a Chinese Microbiological research faculty, if new findings are anything to go by.

A report by the New York Post, an American Media outfit, indicates that “China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly corona-viruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

The initial conspiracy theory was that the virus was manufactured in the US and taken to China as part of the existing trade war between the two feuding countries. China is said to have incurred costs in billions of yuan due to the handling of the virus. The Chinese Prime Minister was reported to have said that those responsible for the shoddy handling of the epidermic will be dealt with accordingly when officials reportedly regretted the way the epidermic was handled  in his presence.

But the report indicates that the “Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive entitled: ‘Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus’ hours after Chinese leader Xiu Jinping directed a national system to control biosecurity risks by putting in place measures to protect the people’s health. saying that lab safety is a national security issue.

There is only one such lab in China, and that is in Wuhan.

Last month, a top Chinese military officer Chen Wei, who has been reportedly been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax, was dispatched to Wuhan to monitor events.

Wei is the Chinese top expert on Biological warfare, and has been involved in the Wuhan research laboratory.

Initially, in a bid to explain away what has been going on, Chinese authorities have insisted that the disease came from bats, snakes and other animals. But it has since been discovered that some lab scientists sell experimental animals to citizens in Wuhan for food.

The Wuhan Laboratory was where SARS was allegedly leaked twice, but was contained. Wei was said to have been summoned to help contain the accidental leak of the Biological weapon before time.
