Guess What Just Went Viral in China?

 

The New York Post!

Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swathes of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive entitled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

It’s probably nothing.

    I don’t see the point of mentioning the active verbs. I can actively make a branch fall from a tree, and I’ve done it many times. That doesn’t mean that a branch on the ground could not have been the result of wind.

    And say we stipulate that Col. Mustard has murdered before; that establishes some plausibility that he killed again.  We still need some positive evidence it was him in the library.

    I’ll be back shortly. Becky Sue just lifted her skirt again.

    Frankly, the big problem I see with this up-front is that a resulting economic downturn could result in Bernie or someone (almost) equally ridiculous, being elected in November.

    That would be like electing the 7th dwarf named Sneezy.

    Well if people are scared, there’s no telling what they might do.

    But that said, I think this Norm McDonald is in many ways superior to that other one.

    I am certainly superior in stealing other people’s material without attribution. Just like the Wuhan bio weapons lab.
