    The virus cannot have started back in November and started at the wet market at the same time. Either one is true or the other is true. People don't live with bats. The animals the…

    The fact that people outside of China don't know what WeChat is make sense. It isn't an "online forum". It is more like a private Whatsapp group. He also told them the wrong inform…
