Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in early January 2020, when COVID-19 was in its early stages, still affecting China. The news surrounding the virus was sparse and limited. Things have changed since then and this episode does not reflect our current views. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. Stay safe.

In today's episode, let's discuss China's Wuhan virus, COVID-19, and the way China has historically handled "big messes." We talk about The Great Leap Forward, and China's possible ability to release a bio-weapon to advance their position in the race for world leadership. We discuss where the virus originated and how it was studied in the proximity of ground zero.
