Whether or not this virus was unintentionally released or accidentally escaped or was deliberately released from a (civilian/military) laboratory in Wuhan, China or not, cannot obscure the fact that this virus is another valuable lesson of what could happen should a biological warfare break out. In short, pandemonium!
We can be very thankful that this SARS-CoV-2 virus is relatively harmless as if it was a ominous reminder how dangerous it could have been had another, more lethal virus been released. Just imagine ...
The whole world ought to insist that the Communist Party of China fully cooperates in thoroughly investigating this incident! Pressure ought to be put on the dictator for life, Xi Jinpeng to resign.
The specter of a war with biological agents was shrouded in some kind of mystery or obscurity for decades. If I am not mistaken, not much was discussed about it in public as if not to frighten the general public. Unlike nuclear warfare, biological warfare has received much less attention then it has deserved and it ought to deserve. When comparing nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare, it is quite obvious that latter is most likely the most dangerous one. The Covid-19 global pandemic was also a stark reminder how unprepared most countries are should a biological warfare ensue. This might and ought to change now!
