U.S. concerned China still not being transparent about lab activities, says Secretary of State Pompeo

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a Reuters report on Wednesday that the U.S. had real concerns about the laboratories inside China amid the new coronavirus outbreak, and he said that the Chinese government has not been transparent enough about how this virus started and how it spread.

"We all need to get to the bottom of what actually happened," Pompeo said."There are still many labs operating in China today, and the world needs to know we are not going to see a repeat of this." While it's not disputed that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, theories have circulated about whether this began in an open Chinese market as an animal-borne virus, as the Chinese have claimed, or was that it was a man-made virus created in a laboratory, as Pompeo suggested.

"Our analyses, and others too, point to an earlier origin than that. There were definitely cases there, but that wasn't the origin of the virus," Robert Garry, a professor at Tulane University School of Medicine, told ABC News.

If the Chinese plan was to destabilize the USA to get even for Trump's tariffs - it has worked.

In case you haven't noticed, Pompeo, you aren't exactly any kind of transparency example. Fully expect China to give you the 'hand'.

We cannot trust Pompeo.

Haven’t had a Secretary of State since 2016.

Kushner and now Pompeo? These guys are itching for a war.

Quit blaming China for Trump not doing his job.

Pompeo’s new mission: Save Trump form his free fall for the awful handling of the crisis of the virus. It’s obvious what Trump is doing

The US is not. The assholes in the administration are.

When trump’s bark slows, Pompeo is barking out loud.

He should be concerned with the lack of preparedness of the US. Shameful dealing even having time to control a real threat.

Pot meet kettle.
