Bio-Chemical Research
The Wuhan Laboratory is one of those locations where different viruses and pathogens are studied and possible solutions and vaccines are researched and developed. Even the U.S. contributed to this project.
But somehow one of those deadly viruses escaped. It was traced to the bats that lived in a cave near Wuhan and ended up at a "wet market" in Wuhan. There were complaints that they were lax with their security.
They discovered that they could not control it. It spread around the world. Only when it hit New York and people began to die by the thousands did our country get serious about it.
There was little doubt with the experts, that in January this virus could spread around the world and no one would be able to escape it. Preparations should have started then. But there were distractions and arrogant disregard for the facts and we are where we are today.
