Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) lab researchers went to the hospital in November 2019 with symptoms consistent with both seasonal flu and COVID-19, according to a U.S. intelligence report newly revealed by the Wall Street Journal on May 23. Three of the researchers were sufficiently sick to seek hospital care, according to the report. The Journal wrote that the report “could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the COVID-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.” Darn right.
