Abstract
The Coronavirus outbreak of January 7, 2020 at Wuhan, Hubei infected more than 45,000 people in 27 countries, killed about 1000. It has become widely controversial. There are arguments both in favor and against it being a bioweapon attack. The superpowers are blaming each other for its spread. Americans are pointing out at Chinese facilities involved in similar research, whereas, Chinese are suspecting American military laboratories around the world. The Israelis are blaming Chinese and Russians are blaming Americans but the discovery of evidence of the Biohazard containers buried at American Consulate Wuhan, has changed the scenario altogether and has to be proved otherwise.
