The Chinese population has been fed up with the draconian policy against the pandemic imposed by its authorities for months, but the death of ten people in the fire in an apparently confined building in Urumqi (northwest) last Thursday has lit the fuse of acts of rejection in numerous parts of the country.
The American epidemiologist stressed that although the scientific evidence strongly points to the fact that the virus originated naturally and was not due to a leak in a laboratory, the only way to put an end to possible conspiracy theories is full transparency and cooperation by part of Beijing, something that has not happened.
