The original Chinese government story, that the pandemic spread from a seafood market in Wuhan, was the first and therefore most widely accepted theory. But cracks in that theory slowly emerged throughout the late winter and spring of 2020. The first known case of Covid-19 in Wuhan, it was revealed in February, had no connection to the market. The Chinese government closed the market in January and sanitized it before proper samples could be taken. It wouldn’t be until May that the Chinese Centers for Disease Control disavowed the market theory, admitting it had no idea how the outbreak began, but by then it had become the story of record, in China and internationally.
In the spring of 2020, inside the U.S. government, some officials began to see and collect evidence of a different, perhaps more troubling theory—that the outbreak had a connection to one of the laboratories in Wuhan, among them the WIV, a world leading center of research on bat coronaviruses.

Американское общественное мнение (и мировое тоже) готовят к тому, чтобы обвинить Китай в искусственном происхождении вируса - на основании "секретных данных американской разведки" - и конфисковать его вложения по всему миру. Например, два триллиона вложенных в американские казначейские бумаги. Плюс отобрать все инвестиции в Африке, Азии и Латинской Америки. В пользу сами знаете кого. Китай не обвиняют в преднамеренном создании биологического оружия, для этого вирус недостаточно смертелен, а в "рискованных экспериментах". Но сути претензий на компенсации не меняет.
