::Perhaps some villager in Yunnan got infected at the secret coronavirus bat cave: "[https://nationalpost.com/news/world/cave-full-of-bats-in-china-identified-as-source-of-virus-almost-identical-to-the-one-killing-hundreds-today Cave full of bats in China identified as source of virus almost identical to the one killing hundreds today]." The cave is 900 miles from Wuhan. But if the disease has a low mortality, it could have circulated for a while before anyone noticed.

:::The consensus seems pretty strong - it came from a lab. To avoid sanctions at this point the CCP must allow outside inspectors in.  Not that it would do any good since he [[PLA]] has taken over the lab and has plenty of time to scrub the location.  It's too late.

:::De-coupling relations will take awhile. The [[D10]] organization is already being formed which is the G7 + India, South Korea, and Australia. Air travel is cancelled. Next will be cancelling student exchange programs - the D10 nations will not be training any more microbiologists for the PLA. Businesses need more time to withdraw, but the government of Japan is already granting taxbreaks to companies to withdraw. Other D10 countries probably will follow this model.

:::The big question is, can the CCP survive this upheaval internally? Make no mistake, none of this is happening  cause of a dispute or misunderstanding over whether the virus came from a wet market or not. If it did, the CCP would have shown evidence to contradict the evidence of lab origins by now.

:::The CCP right now is biding its time and pulling out the stops in hopes to defeat Trump; but if Trump wins, and Xi overcomes challenges on policy, they have to decide on escalating the dispute to blackmail their way back into the global trading system with either a bio or conventional attack.

:::We got 40 million unemployed, but except for the Democrats and violent revolution, there is hope for a comeback; China by contrast has way more than 40 million now more or less permanently unemployed, unless young people begin returning from the cities to farm villages and rice paddies to eat.
