The origins of the coronavirus has been a hot topic, and it's about to get a lot hotter...

In what may end up being the biggest story of the week, well besides a new possible hard fork on steem, 116 countries are now backing Australia and their push for an independent coronavirus origin investigation.

Does that mean they aren't buying the official story out of China where the virus magically jumped from an animal to a human at a wet market in Wuhan?

Um, I think it's safe to say they are not...

But even if they were buying it, it never hurts to verify.

What's the old phrase, trust but verify? I think that couldn't be more applicable in this situation, especially when people's lives are at stake.

This could potentially have far reaching implications in the financial markets...

Given the fact that tensions with the US and China have been bubbling up for some time now, China feeling like they are being accused may not go over well.

Though, I am guessing they are already feeling like they are being accused and perhaps with the entire world likely signing up for this independent investigation they won't feel like they are being picked on...

Even if that isn't an issue, what is going to happen once/if an investigation reveals that China actually had something to do with this?

Is the entire world going to sue China for damages and force them to pay?

Are countries going to levy sanctions and put huge tariffs on any trade done with China?

What if China doesn't pay, do wars breakout because of this?

If there is an investigation, and it is revealed that China did more than just not report the outbreak right away (we already know they did that), there could be some far reaching implications...

Far reaching in that it could end up spilling over into financial markets and possibly impact crypto markets as well.

We already saw bitcoin and the stock market fall out of bed when the coronavirus fear was at its peak a couple months back.

It will be interesting to see how things play out as an investigation gets underway and more of the truth is unraveled...

My thoughts...

I have done quite a bit of digging into this whole "coronavirus origins" story and what I can tell you is that I don't think the official story out of China is the truth.

Based on everything I have read, which is a lot at this point, it either came from the Wuhan lab or it came from the United States military.

With the vast majority of the evidence pointing to the Wuhan lab as the starting point...

When that is the only lab in the entire country dealing with coronaviruses, they have a history of poor safety protocols, they have a history of employees selling lab animals, and then the virus appears to start within walking distance of the lab...

Yea, that is a lot of circumstantial evidence.

I'm not saying the virus was created in the lab, though I have read numerous reports indicating that some of the virus mutations may have been manipulated on purpose (likely in the lab), but at the very least it likely came from the lab most likely on accident, but nothing can be ruled out at this point.

The news out today is likely the start of the people eventually finding out the truth behind the origins of this global pandemic and everyone should be applauding this development.

The people deserve to know what is killing them and where it came from.

I know I sure would.

Stay informed my friends.
