The number of nuclear warheads in China's arsenal is a state secret.[1] There are varying estimates of the size of China's arsenal. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and Federation of American Scientists estimated in 2023 that China has a stockpile of approximately 410 nuclear warheads.[1][8]According to some estimates by the U.S. intelligence community, the country could "more than double" the "number of warheads on missiles that could threaten the United States by the mid-2020s".[9]

 If you believe the Chinese had the smarts to botch  a bio weapons exercise and released Covid, a few of those 400 nukes might work, you know?

One of the differences between MAGA and the good  guys on the other side, is we don’t bury our heads in the sand.

No nation however evil would engineer a bio weapon with a 1% mortality rate and no antidote.  That is ludicrous. Something like anthrax, is a potential biological weapon, not a virus that mainly kills off old, sick Republicans too afraid to get vaccinated.

But Covid could have been an accidental lab leak in Wuhan by researchers seeking a beneficial vaccine.

Or it could have crossed over from the wild.

Either way, nuclear war is off the table.
