ah, leaked documents. wonder how much matt pottinger had to pay for these babies. cnn writeup actually pretty objective https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1333530775367671813

this guy's going to off matt's Xmas list: "Conversely, however, the leaked documents also provide something of a defense of China's overall handling of the virus. The reports show that in the early stages of the pandemic, China faced the same problems of accounting, testing,

and diagnosis that still haunt many Western democracies even now -- issues compounded by Hubei encountering an entirely new virus." Where's my Chinese failure of governance?!

What will give wuhan truthers pause is the massive spike in flu cases in yichang. I'll eager that when prc spox say maybe the origin wasn't wuhan they mean... maybe it wasn't wuhan.

the "Wuhan lab release origin" is China hawks' dream of putting PRC in the doghouse but if the virus was spreading in Yichang in December it kinda cuts the legs out from under this theory
