OK that's your prerogative to believe that but what makes you think that?

Well Spit, I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else by agreeing with @RackMaster but since you asked, I'll be honest with you. The Chinese steal things from other countries (including Canada) all the time. They get this stuff (bio-research) home and try to do/make/re-engineer it. And as @DA SWO (and multiple other SME have) mentioned,

The lab has been criticized for crappy procedures with warnings that an accidental release was probable, so I am willing to accept an accidental release.

  • The pathogens for this and the SARS virus are the same.
  • The lab was built to study the SARS virus according to the Chinese government.
  • China isn't known for tolerating whistle blowers who might make serious issues public knowledge.
  • My own gut instinct. I would make a wager on this one and I don't do that often.
I just hope the next virus to come out of China's wholesale animal market isn't a strain of Ebola.

if the public knew and understood how vulnerable JIT leaves them, they would demand a better system.

But..... But..... But.... everything is fresh and new and doesn't sit in dirty warehouses (at this end of the supply chain).
I've dealt with the issues in JIT for decades... cyclical planning for correct inventories is harder than being out of stock and requires well paid analysts/planners to make a NOT (Near on time) system work and requires real estate to cover shifts in stock levels.

Stock up on non-perishables for when the system crashes.

Call me provincial, but I'm surprised the JIT model works as well as it does. China manufacturing and shipping goods an ocean away just seems inefficient and kinda dangerous. The fact that we've exported so much of our manufacturing might to the 3rd world is also concerning.

As for the system crashing... not too sure of you're joking or being serious. Cause I've heard rumblings about warehouses not seeing new inventory come in... like manufacturers of agricultural and other heavy machinery having to halt production due to a lack of parts. :-x
 
@Bypass @DA SWO
Considering the spread of Corona and subsequent lock down of Northern Italy, I'm starting to think the Chicoms are purposely spreading this thing.

Not sure if it's visible to everyone else, but that video is made by an apparatus of the CCP. (picture in spoiler)

Also, Italy is stepping up their COVID19 response.

Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

A cold is going around at work...oh the people freaked out that they are going to die. :rolleyes:

The mortality rate is currently around 2-3 percent, it isn't as remotely lethal as SARS or MERS.

Any illness is bad, but fear mongering is worse.
