@rightwriter That was one Chinese official and other Chinese officials called him quote crazy unquote. And under these circumstances, Chinese officials are less than reliable. The Chinese government seriously messed up when dealing with this and a lot of people over there are trying to cover things up. They left the meat and seafood markets run unregulated despite them being the source of several outbreaks, then they pretended nothing was wrong and tried to silence any doctor who said otherwise. That is why Trump is so keen to blame them.
There still hasn’t been one lab confirming that the virus is man made.
Do you want to know how they “knew” of the next pandemic? Because it has happened several times before in the last few decades albeit on much smaller scales. With 20/20 hindsight it’s obvious that COVID-19 wasn’t a matter of if but when.
