There needs to be transparency on both sides of the Pacific. Perhaps the CDC and NAIID based at Ft. Detrick should release all of the early information it had on the virus. The Chinese were part of a worldwide collaboration over the last decade to understand both coronaviruses and filoviruses, among other pathogens, see the publication from 2015 on Bats and Viruses, read the papers and the list of collaborators. If a DARPA proposal did exist in 2018 that involved these collaborations on coronavirus, then it ought to be published and any work done black or otherwise published. China bashing is unacceptable in face of the fact that the US is also not transparent and is similar in many of the tactics China is accused of. Biosafety is a concern for every human on this planet.
