Background Event

An analysis of biological warfare from Israel, sharing estimates, about the origin of the
Corona Virus which is transmitted through deadly animals and spread throughout the world,
possibly originating from a laboratory in Wuhan city, which deals with China's secret
biological weapons program, as quoted by The Washington Times .

Is Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who studies China's biological
warfare.

Holding the rank of lieutenant colonel, Dany Shoham is a senior Israeli military intelligence
analyst for wars involving biological and chemical weapons in the Middle East and around
the world from 1970 to 1991. He holds a doctorate in medical microbiology.

When asked about the possibility of Corona Virus leaking, Dany Shoham said, "In principle,
outflow of virus infiltration may occur either because of a leak or because of an unconscious
infection in the room of someone who usually leaves the facility."

"This could be the case with the Wuhan Virology Institute, but so far there is no evidence or
indication for the incident," he said.

China has reportedly denied ownership of sensitive biological weapons.

Authorities in China also said that they did not know the origin of the Corona Virus, which
killed at least 80 people and infected thousands of people.

In a statement to one of the local state media, early signs of the new virus were reported to
come from wild animals sold in the marine food market in Wuhan, according to Gao Fu,
director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lung specialists from the Friendship Center General Hospital Diah Handayani explained that
2019-nCoV is a virus that attacks the human respiratory system.

The difference with other viruses, said Diah, this corona virus has a high virulence or ability
to cause fatal disease.

According to Diah, this virus is dangerous if it has entered and damaged the function of the
lungs, or known as Pneumonia, which is an acute infection or inflammation in the lung tissue
caused by viruses and various other microorganisms, such as bacteria, parasites, fungi, and
others.

"Oxygen exchange cannot occur so people experience respiratory failure. That is why the
virus is severe because it no longer only causes flu or influenza but it causes Pneumonia,"
Diah said when contacted by BBC Indonesia.
