I have heard that claim however China has form, they had already played with the Sars virus and apparently were working on weaponizing a strain of that.
As a biological weapon look at the damage this has done even without being a nation killer, it has crippled economy's around the world and put further strain on already artificially stimulated economy's that are in reality already in recession.
Also note at the same time as this virus escape from the Wuhan Laboratory China has wasted no time in trying to take more territory in the Himalaya's, aggressively expanding it's frankly illegal claims on the south China Sea and other territory's, almost as if it was part of a bigger puzzle even perhaps.

It still kills a percentage of the people it infects.
Who cares? Hmmm?
Next time you get a chance pop into your local graveyard and have a seat and consider where you're going to ultimately end up.
I am not prepared to crucify the young or immune because some people already have one foot in the grave.
It kills the young and the otherwise healthy. Just in fewer numbers.
A less deadly virus, but infecting far more people, can kill more people than a more deadly one that doesn't spread like wildfire.
Hardship also is not the same thing as a wrecked economy. We sometimes have had worse fluctuations in economies that have had nothing to do with an epidemic, like in the 1987 stock market crash. We lived and recovered.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based on analysis of reported daily infections and fatalities in 15 countries, as well as tests performed, researchers found that infection rates between March and August were on average 6.2 times greater than reported.

If you're SURE that it hasn't spread like a baby-eating dingo!

So in other words, it mutated to the common cold? But a very catchy common cold.

A very catchy common cold with even less symptoms than the common cold.
