^Of course not. And I resent the fact that news media outlets are so political!

I've been reading about the probability of Covid19 escaping from a lab and NOT the wet markets. It's starting to appear that a lab assistant got infected, wasn't aware of it and exposed the entire community. BUT I can't substantiate it because it isn't being covered.

I miss Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley!!!

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has all but confirmed that to be how it happened. The virus was not developed in a lab, but it was being studied in the Wuhan lab in question as ongoing Chinese research to master the development of vaccines for coronaviruses. It got out somehow and went pandemic.

Culpability for the spread of the virus is nonetheless China's. And I am sure demands will be made of them for some sort of restitution.

But in getting back to this angle the rabid media are working on to blame the President for American deaths. The charge is that he waited and drug his feet about travel restrictions and mitigation. The timeline will clearly show that not to be the case. But there is yet another elephant in the room. The New York City / New Jersey Metroplex has been the number one CV "hot zone." But the strain they have does not match the strain seen out in Washington State and California, which has been deemed to have come directly from Wuhan. The strain of CV in NYC is of European origins.

Let's get real here, Obama refused to even limit travel from Mexico, the confirmed source of the H1N1 epidemic. Much less shut down illegal border traffic, much less all travel from China and Europe. Hillary would not have done it either and sleepy Joe wouldn't even have understood what people were talking about. But 17,160 US citizens died from H1N1 'Swine Flu' epidemic. Does anybody on here remember the media or Republicans saying he had blood on his hands for his own inaction? Nope, because it didn't happen. Where it comes to lies and slander, both side don't 'do it.'
