If we keep getting more such disease outbreaks, one would have to arouse suspicion you would think?

And whats up with the UN warning that there we can expect "more" such pandemics?
There is a UN pandemic treaty being signed right now that gives them special powers to step in under such a pandemic.
Expect way worse lockdowns and restrictions if this happens.
The book 'The Coming Plague' by Laurie Garrett written back in the mid 1990s predicted most of what we've seen/are seeing in terms of current health issues. Laurie was right on the button with how this pandemic progressed (apart from the pitiful US control strategy) and the factors that led to COVID still exist as potential causes for future pandemics. Cheap mass international travel, compromised health of much of the world's populations, size and density of many cities, climate change, industrialised food production systems and overburdened health systems all present opportunities for microbes to gain the upper hand on our and other species.

Also the rise in mass communication by way of the internet has also introduced another restriction is the ways that such pandemics can be addressed effectively.
TBH, its still not 100% even clear about the origins of this virus. Its disputed whether the virus even started in their wet markets or if it was released from the lab be it intentional or accidental.
There was a good story on this by 60 minutes Australia.
All I know is its a recipe for disaster in a densley populated area such as China.
