You'll never get solid evidence, it's china. Here is some of the best journalism on the subject. Katheran Eban is an excellent writer. Peter Attia had her on his podcast in Jul. Both articles are long, the podcast with her and Attia is very good.
The Lab-Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19’s Origins
Throughout 2020, the notion that the novel coronavirus leaked from a lab was off-limits. Those who dared to push for transparency say toxic politics and hidden agendas kept us in the dark.
#169 - Katherine Eban: COVID-19 Lab Leak: Examining all sides of the debate and discussing barriers to a full investigation - Peter Attia
“There is no smoking gun per se. What there is is smoke coming out of a lot of windows. ... There is enough smoke coming out of enough windows that we cannot take the lab leak hypothesis off the table, and so for me, the most credible people on this, they're not saying it was a lab leak. What...

Epstein-Barr Virus Found to Trigger Multiple Sclerosis

“Others are already working on vaccines that could prevent infection with Epstein-Barr. Moderna, which created an mRNA vaccine against COVID-19, launched a phase 1 trial of an mRNA vaccine for Epstein-Barr earlier this month. And NIAID’s Cohen expects to begin a phase 1 trial of another Epstein-Barr vaccine by the end of February. If these researchers succeed, such vaccines might dramatically reduce the incidence of mononucleosis and some cancers. And now it is conceivable that they could do the same for MS.”

On February 20th 2020 who said, “China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal. We’re starting on another trade deal with China — a very big one. And we’ve been working very closely. They’ve been talking to our people, we’ve been talking to their people, having to do with the virus.”

Wages haven’t kept up with inflation since 1982. Still awaiting the “trickle down”.Inflation is outpacing wage growth. If US metrics really aren't catching the full amount, we are looking at either a scary hyperinflation event, or more likely the Fed having to slam the breaks on the entire thing hard (and a resulting recession). I had been thinking that much like the post 1919 epidemic, with job openings and optimism, we could be set for a Roaring 20s type good times after the worst of the pandemic. But if this article is correct, we could be looking at several more years of economic and social misery (the inflation alone if the article is correct is enough to send the Ds into the wilderness for a generation....or at least until the Rs, as the always do, mess up).
Worst US inflation since ’82 is huge underestimate - Asia Times
Shelter accounts for about a third of American household expenditure, and the cost of buying or renting shelter is up nearly 20% over the past year. Yet the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for shelter reported Jan. 12 by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed an increase of just 4.2 over the past...asiatimes.com

Must you whine and moan in public?
The eyeglasses thing makes it a bit ironic, considering the poster pasting it.
I think you mean trickle up. Thanks Ronnie!
Lots of doom and gloom down there in your neck of the woods. Best of luck to you.
In what economic system do wages ‘keep up’ with inflation?
There is a reason that inflation and the policies that drive it are generally considered ‘bad’. Even ‘wage-based’ inflation is not a benefit, it’s just descriptive of the problem… cost push inflation.
I’m mixed on this quote, given the time period.
Half of me wants to say ‘huge-ly’ and mock the bombastic, self-serving statement by a political figure… the other half wants to critique the secretive and uncooperative/non-transparent communication out of China regarding COVID, not just to the US, but the whole world. (Italy may have more of a bone to pick on this topic).
It’s kind of both, depending on your point of reference. Trickle down income and trickle up wealth, the equation must be balanced, sans inflation. That’s is the opposite. Thanks Carter!
