Covid-19 is more disastrous as it is causing high infectivity and large numbers of deaths that have been reported round the globe since its emergence in Wuhan, China. Whole world is passing though a worst phage of pandemic created panic and miseries.
Till the date millions of people have been infected and thousands have been died untimely. Coronavirus seems to be a laboratory manufactured virus. As in last seven-eight months virus has infected millions of people and caused thousands of deaths round the globe and rapidly spread in more than 207 countries of the world.
This is unimaginable as no natural virus has shown a squared numbers increase in fatalities and infectivity so far. Virus has shown its infectivity and lethality untouched to climatic effects mainly thermal resistance; as it is showing almost similar mortality rate in cold countries as well as in warm countries. This is a matter of major global concerns and generates significant doubts.
Virus is not a simple virus; it is behaving like a bio-weapon, no natural virus mutate at such rate. It is mutating like an artificial/recombinant/superimposed RNA virus particle and adjusting sequences accordingly in variable weather conditions.
Virus is not a simple virus; it is behaving like a bio-weapon, as virus is showing high infectivity and fatality in different climatic conditions. The way in which virus has shown its presence in more than 207 countries raise few grave questions. Imagine virus is making same mortality in cold countries where temperature is below 4 degree in Europe and almost similar in Gujarat and Maharashtra where temperature is more than 40 degree.
It has been seen first time in virus generated diseases. As general nature of communicable viruses as they show infection in particular confined geographical area. They generally take year’s time to transmit from epidemic to pandemic. Since its appearance in Wuhan, China virus is regularly changing arrangement of genomic sequences, and enhanced its lethality against man.
It is fact that virus is artificial, it is not natural, it is a semi natural artificial virus, made at least by recombination of two other virus genomes from two animal hosts. It is a fusion virus with two mouths and no tail. It is proved by its negative and positive mutational potential. For providing it shape of a natural virus, it might be cultured 3-4 years in controlled conditions and kept preserved in Virology Institute at Wuhan.
After its appearance and spread in public in China it was said that Corona viruses is naturally hosted and evolved in bats, is a half truth. This virus found in cave bats is authentic but its genome sequences have been superimposed from another animal source perhaps a yellow shrimp virus. Both viruses have been recombined very cleverly and cultured for three to four years in cells of another host to provide it a natural shape.
It is a matter of keen attention that genomic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 viruses isolated from a number of patients share sequence identity higher than 99.9% but these sequences differ from other endemic viruses found in wild mammalian hosts. There is true that sanguivorous bats in Wuhan province are host of this virus but same species of wild mammal also found in neighboring countries have no such virus so far.
The question is if virus found in other countries; why not this pandemic did start from these countries. It proves that virus has spread through artificial virus depository, situated in Virology Research Institute in Wuhan, due to either human error. It has come out accidentally much earlier, as it is being used by PLA army whenever they feel its use in future.
China is solely responsible for spread of Covid-19 pandemic, all deaths which have been occurred in the world is a state sponsored criminal and ghastly act of Chinese government. They have not reported about the realistic epidemiological data related to this virus and never accepted their negligence. Chinese government is highly insensitive to their own people, then how they can think about a healthy, prosperous, and peaceful world.
It is fact that PLA has crushed the civilian rights in China in long past but they have shown brutality on their own people during the pandemic period. Thousands of people which were demonstrated against Chinese government are either missing or brutally killed by army personnel’s.
People have no right to live, nor they can share information among them, press and print media has only limited rights and government agencies always broadcast favorable doctored news.
China made virus is behaving much similar to behavior of Chinese Government, as both have secrete agenda to invade, enhance imperialism, self centered, never bind to any rule, irresponsible to humanity, causing economic loses and killing wild animals and living beings, and doing uncontrolled development at the cost of nature and humanity.
Pangolins are also other source of this virus and with whom corona virus shows 96% homology, this transmission route is also not very clear. Therefore, postulate that coronaviruses in humans are derived from the bat reservoir is out rightly rejected.

Virus has created a tight cornered situation as its ten unbroken strengths are working in a concerted manner, as it is highly contagious in nature, short incubation time, very high infectivity, gaining new mutations, surviving in all weather conditions, immune insurgence, acute respiratory syndrome, generate multiple morbidities, multi-organ system failure and death of patient.
Scientists are trying to generate an appropriate vaccine whose success will depend on behavior of virus because it is highly mutating.
