Tuesday TOONS

16. Sounds like quite a stretch, approaching the level of misinformation. I have seen nothing that suggests Covid was

developed a bio-weapon. The suggestion that the Chinese wanted to kill 100% of their own population is absurd. I blame china for suppressing information about the Covid outbreak that put the whole world at risk, but I don’t find the cartoon eioher funny or informative.

But I thank you for your take on the meaning. If it were true, did China think the disease would be contained in Taiwan? Sounds exceedingly improbable. Bio-weapons have to have a deadly effect very rapidly or else they are useless, and dangerous to the entire world. But I suppose it is possible they were experimenting with the virus for possible use as a bioweapon and it escaped containment in the lab.

I think the origin in a market selling local wild animals for food is more probable. I used to buy meat like that in West Africa when I was a Peace Corps volunteer there.
