So then there is a possibility the virus could have been intentionally spread. Weaponizing mobility, with ease.

You are free to believe it was intentionally spread but who would do so? The virus is in almost every country on the planet. Who would infect their own country as well?

This virus is certainly a bad one. WH house is investigating whether virus is manmade. Comments from experts I have heard say it is not. I'll go with the scientists on this one.

I am not going to take any side. I am going to patiently wait throughout the entire investigation, to realize the whole truth. We may never get the whole truth, and it could take years.
There is nothing to wait for. The scientists have already eliminated that possibility

Trust the scientists knowing that they are learning about this virus and their instructions will evolve as they have more data. Same is true of projecting number of infections and deaths. You wouldn't go to a plumber for expert input on fixing an X5 problem would you?

By the time that data gets to you, there is no telling how accurate or true it will be. I personally don't put my trust in man, I put my trust in God. A plumber is not the correct field for BMW repair. However, how many times has an expert BMW repairman intentionally gave misleading information for personal gain?
God won't be providing any statistics. Are you waiting for something that agrees with you? If anything the statistics are going to get worse as there have been some number of deaths at home that weren't diagnosed. I have not read about one scientist saying the statistics have been inflated. Where is your information from?

Why does it matter?

It matters because if the virus did not from the market, but instead came from the lab it leaves a slew of unanswered questions. And an investigation will most certainly be required.The experts have already said the virus is not manmade. They haven't proven it wasn't a leak from the lab or originated from the market. There is an effort to determine the source.

Some people have a way of profiting in the worst of situations by luck or intent. Same could be true of countries but I don't believe the virus was intentionally 'released'.

So its your personal belief that the virus is a natural disaster. What evidence do you have to support that belief? Not second hand or third hand data, personal data acquired by you personally.No source, it's just logical. All but a few countries have had an outbreak. What country would be willing to harm their own people to infect another country?

Different businesses are opened in different stages. Some of criteria are level of necessity of business, size of crowd and ability to comply with social distancing. Stages have nothing to do with money.

The sole purpose of reopening commerce is to get the economy functioning again. I.e. MONEY.To some it is the sole purpose. To those that understand what can happen if it is not done according to the CDC guidelines it should never be just about the economy.

No, absolutely no indication this was an attack.

What personal, not second, third hand data do you have to prove this statement? No, absolutely no indication this was an attack.

So you believe it is was planned attack on the US by a person, persons, organization or country to increase their wealth?

There will need to be a thorough investigation into this pandemic. This will likely take years. I have no direct opinion at this time with regards to it being a natural disaster, or biological attack. There will always be goofball conspiracy theories. So if you are looking for endorsement you will have it. One will likely be that China has a vaccine and is not telling the rest of the world.

Only time will tell what really happened during the start of 2020. But I am definitely not going to be naïve to what is happening around me.

The above statement in green is a personal belief, and has no implication toward any member of the forum.
