Wuhan, China, the site of the present Coronavirus infection outbreak is also home to that nation’s premiere bioweapons research and development facility, a BioSafety Level 4 laboratory for the storage, research and development of the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases. It cost $44-million and was built in 2017 above the objections of the world health community and immunologists around the globe. Unnamed insiders are now claiming possibility of a breach of containment, prior to the Coronavirus epidemic.

Insiders are now claiming China’s deadly coronavirus outbreak has been linked to a secret lab created to study the world’s most dangerous diseases.

The maximum-security bioweapons lab named the National Biosafety Laboratory, was opened in 2017 in Wuhan, where the first cases of the virus were reported last month. At the time, world health experts and geopolitical analysts alike decried the move as an unnecessarily risky installment with catastrophic potential for rapid infection in a metropolis of 11-million people and potential for regional military destabilization impacts as well.

Wuhan locals, speaking anonymously to loved ones overseas have said that there been widespread fear of a breach of containment and the release of a pathogen, either accidentally or via sabotage since the facility opened in 2017.

“It’s what we all warned of and were frightened of from the very start,” one person with ties to the Wuhan area said. “The danger is very high and having such a risk next to such a large city seemed very foolish. We all said it. And now, maybe the worst has happened already.”

Two Chinese cities have now been placed on lockdown to control the spread of the disease after 25 people were confirmed to have died.

Wuhan has already been closed off, while the nearby city of Huanggang with a population of around 6 million is now also under quarantine. Major train stations have been closed off in the city of Ezhou ahead of this weekend’s Chinese New Year celebrations.

The lab was also created to “study the pathogen that causes SARS,” a virus similar to coronavirus which broke out in China in 2002.

They added: “I’ve heard people saying it’s a possible bioweapon that’s been unleashed on accident, it would make sense considering all the precautions they are taking on the city.”

Videos emerging on social media show victims collapsing on streets and sidewalks with what appears the rapid onset of disease symptoms.
