I'm not sure I understand what it matters where it came from. I definitely don't understand why a country would kill off a random huge portion of their own population. What I do understand is that what matters is the importance of just doing what is necessary to slow down the spread so that we don't over run our own medical infrastructure, killing more of our own population. A virus knows no politics nor nationalities nor race. Liberal, conservative, or non-political alike, we all have to keep safe and protect our loved ones. But, for some of us, humor makes the seriousness a little easier to deal with. It is so much better to hunt for food and toilet paper in crowds full of selfish crazed maniacs if you can keep a smile and good nature and crack a joke or two. It's better than just blowing people away over freaking toilet paper. Or, driving up the level of craziness with junk that has no bearing on the mess we are all in.

I hope that if there is a maniacal genius who can make a disease and kill off their fellow human beings with utter disregard for life, that when this is all said and done that they meet a fate worse than death. But, for now, I will do my best to keep love as my driving force, keep my family and friends safe, and hopefully lighten people's moods with a few jokes to pass along some positivity in the face of the shit storm.
My vote for post of the century?

Well said. Let’s be civil and reasonable and beat this thing.

Respectfully, I've read a number of first-hand accounts from Chinese Military Officers or scientist admitting that this was a military virus. There are wonderful and compelling stories behind each, but they're fiction in my opinion. Well written Fake news to promote an agenda.
I tend to form my opinions based on data and facts not hearsay.
If you have a video of a person outside of China saying that, I'd love to see it. But everything I've seen has been in written form and therefore unreliable.
I'm not saying that it's impossible for you to be correct. But there is no actual proof yet
Actually shortly after it erupted in China news stories indicated they'd traced the origins to bats which some
Chinese consume. Folks over there eat some strange things.
