Actually it appears the US brought it to Wuhan in October 2019 during the world military games. This happened after certain things went public in August and September of 2019. The elites panicked, there are some things they can’t have the public realize. Snowden was small potatoes. No one stands to benefit from the chaos other then the corporate establishment. The fact that they triggered the race riots (color revolution techniques) after Plandemic 1984, only further demonstrates that the driving force of chaos is and always has been the American deep state establishment. Which is subservient same criminals that have sown chaos for the past thousand years. A tribe of thieves, murderers and black magicians. There a damn fine reason why ancient Russians kicked the Khazar filth out. They would be kicked out of countries all over the world for their wicked ways.
