Chinese Biologist Stopped At Detroit Airport In 2018, Found With Samples of SARS & MERS
This could be something. It could be nothing. But at the end of the day, it happened. Conspiracy theorists are likely to have a field day with this story.
From Yahoo News:
WASHINGTON — In late November 2018, just over a year before the first coronavirus case was identified in Wuhan, China, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Detroit Metro Airport stopped a Chinese biologist with three vials labeled “Antibodies” in his luggage.
Advertisement - story continues belowThe biologist told the agents that a colleague in China had asked him to deliver the vials to a researcher at a U.S. institute. After examining the vials, however, customs agents came to an alarming conclusion.
CONTINUED:
“Inspection of the writing on the vials and the stated recipient led inspection personnel to believe the materials contained within the vials may be viable Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) materials,” says an unclassified FBI tactical intelligence report obtained by Yahoo News.
The report, written by the Chemical and Biological Intelligence Unit of the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD), does not give the name of the Chinese scientist carrying the suspected SARS and MERS samples, or the intended recipient in the U.S. But the FBI concluded that the incident, and two other cases cited in the report, were part of an alarming pattern.

You cherry picked quotes and failed to acknowledge any actions taken by the administration during that time frame, like creating the Coronavirus Task Force and banning entry from China
Your question also ignored political events that were going on at the time, like impeachment https://t.co/6eeDIinUpR

Thought things were going down and was feeling hopeful. Now I see that we got a lot more coronavirus screening telemedicine requests from Florida and a bit in Texas in the past 24 hours. California decreasing for now. We need more social distancing and awareness in those states.
