or maybe it wasn't accurate?
why release a bioweapon in wuhan? That said there are reportedly two major bio-research facilities there that could have accidentally released an experimental virus, or someone is intentionally trying to destabilize the Chinese government that is already under some stress... Another huge coincidence the Chinese new years usually involves millions of Chinese tourist traveling around the world. Not good timing for containing viral infections. This too is pure speculation.
It has been over a century since we had a significant world wide pandemic (like the "Spanish flu" right after WWI, infected 1/3 of the world population and killed >20M people). Modern medicine is getting better equipped to deal with these, but air travel makes the rapid spread of infectious diseases easier now.
This may serve as a tune up for the world's defense against future pandemics. China was arguably lax, and less forthcoming about the SARs epidemic (also a coronavirus) so may be over compensating now. Connecting another dot, China built up their bio-research capability to prevent another SARs. Ironic if they researched one into existence, but the story for now is that it jumped to humans from animals (snakes?). China is already dealing with a deadly (to pigs) swine flu epidemic that has decimated their swine industry.
It is obvious how such things could be weaponized to cause economic harm and/or worse. That does not mean it already is.

It's nice to be nice.
