We don't have the facts inregards to its origins, but we do know that it started in Wuhun and that they have unregulated wet markets.
Truth is, it literally could just be like the movie, "Contagion" and it probably went down like that too.
The Chinese Virus started there.

If this is in fact true the Chinese should be ashamed with the quality of their bio-weapons. If you're gonna make a pathogen that kills people you might want to make one that actually kills people.
We should sprinkle a little of our Murican-made Captain Trips on their next soybean shipment and show them how the hell real bio-weapons work.

Outside of China it has come to each country in dribs and drabs, if you wanted to use it as a weapon you would want to "seed" as many areas in a city or country as possible as close to the same time frame to get a spike in cases quickly.
instead we got dribs and drabs in different areas getting an uneven rise in cases, allowing some places to actually get ready rather than a surprise butt sexxors moment.
See above, it wasn't a weapon. Setting that aside, your post is an example of how viruses don't propagate in the real world.

What if it was specifically meant to cripple an economy and a nation?

I haven't been in that industry since 2007.
Ask for my knowledge, can you not get a virus by locking yourself in your home? How long do you have to lock yourself away from the rest of society to have 0% chance of not getting it ever?

If we all get it at the same time were all screwed.
Although I don't really know if we're going to come out of this as it is, it's looking pretty crap, I guess at this point the economy is collateral damage.

We're already saying goodbye to the world as we know it due to these measures you think we need. Same result, different way.
