COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I am not going to vouch for this 100%, but there was wind of some of this 2-3 weeks ago from Great Britain when Boris Johnson was in the hospital. This is a leaked report compiled by the "Five Eyes" which is the name of the intelligence-sharing alliance of the five leading English-speaking countries, the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. It will be interesting to see how each of these countries sees things in the coming weeks.

"China deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak in an “assault on international transparency’’ that cost tens of thousands of lives, according to a dossier prepared by concerned Western governments on the COVID-19 contagion. "

"The Australian government’s position is that the virus most likely originated in the Wuhan wet market but that there is a remote possibility — a 5 per cent chance — it accidentally leaked from a laboratory."

"The US’s position, according to reports this week, is that it is more likely the virus leaked from a laboratory but it could also have come from a wet market that trades and slaughters wild animals, where other diseases including the H5N1 avian flu and SARS originated."

About the source:

The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) is generally considered to be a more Conservative newspaper, but in no way is a right wing rag, the Liberal Party of Australia, who is control of the government right now (they are further to the right) is probably the equivalent to an moderate Democrat to a liberal Republican in the USA, just more pro business. The Labor Party in Australia (The opposition to the left) would generally be to the left of Bernie Sanders. Australia also has a lot at stake in anything they say against China. They are hugely dependent on China as a market for their raw material exports, so if they are going out and saying anything negative about China, they must really be upset.
