He's saying he's been told, seen evidence.
There is something not right with Covid, it's been engineered, it will all come out in the wash.

The intelligence community is openly contradicting him though.

The pelters I got on here for even suggesting this...Wake up fellas! @JimmyJeffers @RAFUH @nsno-chris @RFUS @zzr45
Trump says he has seen evidence Covid-19 was created in a Wuhan lab - video
Trump says he has a 'high degree of confidence' Covid-19 originated in Wuhan labwww.theguardian.com
Intelligence report concludes Covid-19 was not 'manmade or genetically modified' – as it happened
Office of director of US intelligence releases statement after Trump reportedly asked officials to investigate whether virus was made in Chinese lab
If his own intelligence sources are directly contradicting him, it might suggest that hes getting his briefings off the same imaginary chums as you talk to.
look I don’t know the origins . I know scientist & the intelligence community are publicly saying it’s not man made and I know trump said he didn’t think the Russians interfered with the election so you know .

It will all come out, if you want to believe it was someone buying bats for a stir-fry that caused this then that's up to you, I could maybe buy that if it wasn't for the fact it started where the number one facility in the world was doing experiments on Corona viruses for two decades, a Lab already criticised for it's safety procedures on more than one occasion.
Sorry, I did not make myself clear.
In an uncontrolled environment when no-one knows about the it agree that how a virus spread means that high population places would be hit harder and indeed I expected that to play out throughout the outbreak myself
But once a country knows about it that doesn’t necessarily mean the same still applies and that was what the World Bank was exploring. In theory it might still be the same - after all even with social distancing you’d probably see more people going out to a grocery store in an urban area than a rural one. But it might be that there was better testing rates available in a rich, high density area compared to a lower density one that enabled earlier quarantine. Or better compliance with lockdown because of being able to work from home with better internet access or getting deliveries of food or other factors like mask wearing or even obeying lockdown orders.
San Francisco for instance is up there as one of the most dense population cities US.
Yet despite being very close ties Santa Clara where the first US deaths were and an outbreak likely spread for quite a while undetected it has a very low number of deaths - 25 in a city of over 800,000

In comparison Boston has less population, spread out over a bigger area and yet a significantly worse death toll of 340
COVID-19
Everyone ages 6 months and older should stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, which provide the best protection against infection, severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. It is strongly recommended for children between 6 and 23 months, adults 65 and older, healthcare workers...www.boston.gov
There are undoubtably many different variables - SF put in lockdown about a week before Boston, weather, how recording deaths, % of vulnerable people may be different factors that are at play.
But overall there so far seems to be pretty weak correlation between population density and outbreak which I find intriguing and which is why I was interested in the China data that seemed to further raise questions if populatiom density was a significant factor.
Clear that in and of themselves population density/number of major cities have little explanatory power, but has there been any multivariate analysis? Still could be significant even if the effect size is small.

People I know who are from China think it's from a laboratory. They say these markets with bats etc have been going for thousands of years so they cant be responsible.

Yes, I mean it’s not like they’ve caused outbreaks before is it?

Not on this scale.
Trump clearly trying to take advantage of the speculation so that he can claim Biden is somehow tied to China and somehow indirectly responsible for all this. Madness.
I haven’t read the full intelligence statement. Did they rule out the virus having escaped from a lab?It’s semantics, but saying it’s not man-made or genetically modified doesn’t mean it couldn’t have accidentally escaped. Idle speculation here - I don’t really have an opinion on it.

They are saying this as well..."The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”Intelligence report concludes Covid-19 was not 'manmade or genetically modified' – as it happened
Office of director of US intelligence releases statement after Trump reportedly asked officials to investigate whether virus was made in Chinese lab
If his own intelligence sources are directly contradicting him, it might suggest that he might be getting his briefings off the same imaginary chums as you talk to.
Proving China started this could start a War, Trump doesn't do treading carefully, his intelligence services do.
U.S. Intel Confirms Investigation of Wuhan Lab Leak as COVID-19 Source
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a statement on Thursday saying officials "will continue to rigorously examine emerging information" to verify the virus' origin site.

Covid should not be posting the numbers it is compared to it's 95%+ genetic brother SARS, SARS infected 8000 and killed 800.
Several Corona viruses have gone before but this strain is on another planet with regards to infecting and killing.
There is something not right with Covid-19.
So because a virus hasp previously mutated in one form (or to one extent) all other viruses must mutate in the same way?

The scale is caused by other things than the virus though
