Unz is Wrong: Covid-19 was not a bio weapon against China

The unz.com article American Pravda: Our Coronavirus Catastrophe as Biowarfare Blowback?, published by unz.com editor and founder Run Unz, which posits that Covid-19 was a bio weapon by the US against China, has been going viral.

Tooleb keeps being wrong

I can’t believe I’m writing about a virus. I could have never imagined such a situation a year ago. The differences between a year ago and now are so stark. Streets once full of people are empty.
