What happens if it WAS created in a lab?

    I read that the Pentagon is now looking for evidence that the virus was created in a Wuhan lab. What happens if it is discovered that the coronavirus IS a biological weapon? Is it world war 3?

    The virus is very similar to SARS from 2003, the only difference is it wasn't contained as well. There's no reason to think it was manufactured and any claim from the US as such would likely be another "weapons of mass destruction" type made of reason to start a war.

    I'd rate the chances of it being from the lab as even with the wet-market theory at this stage. There's a lot of f*ckery in media, but the presence of the lab so close to the claimed outbreak location is definately worthy of serious scrutiny.

    China really should have no problem with a team of virologist specialist investigators from neutral countries (Swiss, Finnish, Irish even) conducting a heavily resourced and no stone-left-unturned inquiry into the origins of the virus, right??? Right???

    I think you misread the question. I'm asking what happens next if they find evidence that it was created in a lab. I'm not asking whether it's likely or whether you would believe such claims

    Stick to Conspiracy Theory Forum for this sort of stuff at this stage
