Doesn't matter at this point who may have released it, or if it's just another random virus. The powers that be are watching and learning just how easy it is to cripple a country. If the Chinese released it they now know that they can bring America to it's knees in short order. Given the absurd over reaction to this, what happens if an actual bio weapon is released. Not 41 dead in three weeks, but several hundred thousand. If it was our own government they now know how willingly people will sacrifice their freedom and be herded in one direction or another, all under the guise of, "we're only doing this for your own good".
However many people eventually die from this virus will pale in comparison to the millions who are going to lose their jobs, thousands of business that will permanently close, the damage to the overall economy, the long lasting changes that will take place which impact freedom of movement, etc., etc. In retrospect this will be marked as the week we cut off our heads trying to prevent a headache. Save the pearl clutching feigned outrage, we're beyond that child like reaction. Brave new world is upon us, and what we used to have, a free and prosperous country, will be nothing but a memory by years end.
