Funny to me is the lack of desire to think this through. Wuhan was surrounded (completely by the military) to seal off the virus spread to China. But yet, the wuhan inhabitants were allowed to fly out to other countries. Thus the global spread.
What is a virus?
Viruses are small, nonliving parasites, which cannot replicate outside of a host cell. A virus consists of genetic information -- either DNA or RNA -- coated by a protein. A virus injects its genetic information into a host cell and then takes control of the cell's machinery.

Read this: Titled Fact Sheet: Activity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the document claims that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) systematically prevented a transparent and thorough investigation of the Covid-19 pandemic’s origin for more than a year.
Demanding transparency from the Chinese government, it reads, “the CCP’s deadly obsession with secrecy and control comes at the expense of public health in China and around the world.”
Listing out the results of its research, the document explains that “the US government does not know exactly where, when, or how the Covid-19 virus — known as SARS-CoV-2 — was transmitted initially to humans.” Was it through contact with infected animals or was it the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, China? There seems to be no clear answer for that. Here's what we know so far.

Were WIV researchers sick in Autumn 2019?
According to the fact sheet, the US claims it has “reason to believe” several researchers inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak. This raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli’s public claim that there was “zero infection” among the WIV’s staff and students of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses.
The sheet also adds: “Accidental infections in labs have caused several previous virus outbreaks in China and elsewhere, including a 2004 SARS outbreak in Beijing that infected nine people, killing one.”
If the document is to be believed, journalists, investigators and global health authorities were not allowed to research or interview those WIV researchers who were ill in the fall of 2019. The document demands interviews with these researchers and a full accounting of their previously unreported illness for a credible inquiry into the origin of the virus.
