DISINFO: Coronavirus: A Wuhan laboratory sponsored by Soros, virus affects only Mongoloid race

SUMMARY

There is a biolaboratory in Wuhan – until recently, nothing was known about it. Its address is Gaoxin, three sixes – the number mentioned in the Bible, under which the name of the beast of the Apocalypse is hidden. But it’s even more symbolic that it exists thanks to the money of the famous banker George Soros, who shares the globalist ideas of Bill Gates. This could be part of a cunning plan.

The coronavirus affects only the representatives of the Mongoloid race, which is very suspicious and raises questions.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. This is a pro-Kremlin narrative about the coronavirus.

Although the laboratory WuXi AppTec really exists and is located in Wuhan, 666 Gaoxin Road East Lake, its objective is described as "small molecule drug discovery and research services". Additionally, there is no proof that Soros would be linked to the coronavirus.

In response to the outbreak of the corona virus the Chinese authorities have placed more than a dozen cities under quarantine. The World Health Organisation is working with Chinese authorities and global experts to learn more about the virus. The virus "2019-nCoV” comes from a family of viruses that include the common cold, and viruses such as SARS and MERS.
