I accept that as 'true', Dr. HJ! As I repeatedly joked, 'Party'- for some reason I don't get, quite many Chinese colleagues pronounce it 'F-arty' reminding me of 'farce', rather than 'P-arty' which has nothing to do with Chinese accents!!!- decides everything of personal life in China including how many times you could intercourse a night, for example. Yes, Big Brother controls everything in China, believe me! Because I have so many friends/colleagues I was closely involved through the last three decades, I can't go more due to the fear of giving unexpected harms to these friends so that I will have to shut up my mouth, sorry!!!!!!!!!!! They live in an Orwellian country, doc! We all should appreciate how precious this freedom of speech we enjoy is though this right also slowly fades away these days, being taken over Trumpist now!

I don't buy that, Dr. HJ.  They are 'Chinese' !!!! And, further '(Communist) Farty controls everthing as I said in China, no sirrreeeee!!!!! I 100% believe the virus was accidentally released from Wuhan based on my own experiences. 

Although I stopped over at Wuhan a few occasions- Wuhan is China-version of Chicago!- , my first visit in early '90 with my mentor Mel Williams who was born in Suzhou, was most impressive I still vividly recall including infamous fish market we visited while staying a few extra days before heading to Shanghai.

Interestingly, Chinese don't care much about their attires/what to wear but do give an utmost care on what they eat by their traditional culture so that we all went out to one famous restaurant to have a farewell dinner which located very next to the fish market where they could get the world freshest fish- you all know the highlight of Chinese cuisine is the last fish dish as the finale!-. Many talked about such exotic food only Wuhan fish market could provide like eating/spooning out the brain tissue directly from the alive monkey, which was tied down under the table only to expose the head through the center of the table, I was horrified to listen. Later I heard many caught weird zoonotic diseases after they ate alive animal tissues, exactly as I worrried. Hence, many China men go crazy with the exotic animal meats - 남자 양기에 좋아!- so that all these exotic animals/carcass after the experiments done at the nearby animal lab run by the virus/immunilogy lab were all devoured/consumed at such high prices, I have no doubt!

So wherever the source of COVID, either from the lab or market would be, it was spreaded out from Wuhan with no doubts, as many correctly speculate.
