Covid19 - How to design the perfect biological weapon?

If any country wishes to design the perfect biological weapon, Covid19 is it.  Now that we have seen how this is being played out, we can do a summary of the special characteristics of this virus and see how effective it is in spreading fear and terror and death to a population of people caught unaware. The world should thank China for taking firm, drastic and tough measures by closing down cities to prevent this from spreading. If this is to happen in any other country, especially the so called democrazy countries when they would take ages to debate in Parliament before a decision is made, if they could come to a quick agreement on what needs to be done, this virus would have spread across the entire world. Thanks to the central govt under the CCP and a strong leader in Xi Jinping to be able to make such a decision at such a short notice, another TianAnmen type of situation, do or don't do would also die.

The world is safer for the moment and the medical experts and scientists could have some time to try to figure out what this virus is all about and to develop an antidote for it. In the meantime countries around the world could test their containment and control and contact tracing systems to make sure they work. This is a luxury that Xi Jinping, China, has bought for them.

Now lets look at how effective as a weapon this Covid19 is and its special characteristics.

1. It must have a long incubation period and initial contact or infection should give very mild symptoms, not to raise any alarm. The long incubation period would allow the virus to spread longer and to more people and to a wider area by the time the first outbreak is detected and becomes serious. It would be too late as many people would have been infected and spreading the virus around.

2. It must have some semblance to something similar in nature to give the impression that it is a natural occurrence, not man made. Give the virus some moustaches and everyone would be misled to look for someone with moustache and forget that this could be something more sinister, could be created by evil human beans.

3. It must be safe and easily portable. Nothing is better and easier to move around, concealed easily and conveniently, than a capsule of viruses looking similar to any health supplement.

4. And when the incubation period is over, the outbreak would be very infectious and could be transmitted very easily from human to human at the slightest contact or close vicinity.

5. It must be deadly to inflict more harm and fear, better still if mismanaged by incompetent govts, to spread like wildfire to genocide a whole population, like the wiping out of the native Americans in North America during the days of Columbus when the Europeans landed and robbed their land.

Now that these characteristics have been narrowed, and the virus designed and tested, the next step is the execution. This is a no brainer as a capsule of virus can be easily carried by anyone and looking as innocent as health supplement. What could make this more effective and destructive is the timing and the location where the viruses are to be released. Look at Wuhan and the Chinese New Year migration of a few hundred millions of people! The Chinese population could be totally wiped out if this virus was not contained and locked down quickly. Credit to the Chinese govt for taking immediate action to stop this from spreading getting out of control.

Oh, to make this even more effective, get a DNA map of the targeted population. How? Pretend to conduct a survey, calling for volunteers of the targeted population to donate their DNAs. Tell them that this is a scientific experiment to help them, for their own good. Then add in some goodies like some cash awards. When the DNAs are collected, do the necessary to make sure the virus would react exactly as it is designed. And here you are, Covid19, a national epidemic in China but with minor damages to the rest of the world due to some hiccups and uncontrollable factors.

The Covid19 virus has all the desired qualities of a perfect biological weapon that is too good to be a random design of mother nature. The speed this virus is spreading is extraordinary. And where it struck, the timing was perfect, to inflict the most damages it could to a country.  Or is this simply an act of God, an act of Nature?

Far fetched, wild imagination? Up to you. But this is the likely scenario when some evil minded people would want to do harm to other people or country. Heard of Project 731 and how evil and wicked those Japanese were, a national effort in using Chinese people as test specimen for chemical and biological weapons.

And who is the main beneficiary of the abominable experiments and having the biggest hoards of biological and chemical weapons? The most peace loving nation of course.

PS. China's medical scientists should stop catching wildlife to find a link to this deadly virus. Instead should spend more effort trying to find the culprits that released this virus in Wuhan.

The other grave consequences of such a biological weapon are the social and economic impact on a country, freezing many human related activities and businesses and the whole economy.
