If they'd made it known that millions of people had died as a result
of a release of a Chinese bio-weapon, there would have been an
immediate clamor for a massive military response. Saying 'we don't
know' gives the West a bit of valuable breathing space to decide how
to deal with this emerging threat without triggering WW3.  But I do
hope China will get it's come-uppance one fine day. They so fucking
deserve it.
