The postal system is functioning as is the medical world, waste management, food sales and distribution, along with many, many, other industries. No reason why the UAW can't do their jobs.

Because those are essential jobs. Building cars is not essential. But I am optimistic they will get back to work at the factories. I’m betting sometime in May at least till they get back to work at Bowling Green.

Where does it say the virus has to have been man made to have come from the lab in Wuhan? In fact to genetically alter a virus wouldn’t it make sense that the original virus or other strains of the virus be on hand to begin with?

BS, just more UAW preferential treatment. Tell them how NON essential they are and watch their heads explode.

They are responsible for the global pandemic because they could've contained it early on instead of covering it up. You want credible sources? Here you go:

https://www.axios.com/timeline-the-e...718a5faab.html

Therefore, it should be called the "CCP Virus".
