WUHAN, China. We began collecting reports over the Coronavirus in early January 2020. Coming from a risk management view point we had some theories of possible origination. Doing research on a project this big is a bit beyond our scope and we figured eventually people would catch on.

However, we didn’t buy into the Wet Market Horse Bat theory of virus origination like some misreported. We have been leaning toward the source of the Coronavirus coming from China’s Wuhan lab, rated as a Bio Level 4 lab or “Bio-safety Level 4”.

The Wuhan lab also has twenty BSL-2, and two BSL-3 lab areas within the same building of the BSL-4. From a risk management view point, we would think it would be best if one was going to have a BSL-4 lab, then that is all that should be in the lab building. There should not be any separate areas of lower bio security (BSL-2, BSL-3) as the Wuhan lab has.

We’d argue that a facility like this could lead to accidental transmission of pathogens from a high security to a low security area. READ MORE…
