Rep. Mike McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said it was 'more likely than not' that the coronavirus originated from a lab accident
that three scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been hospitalized in November 2019 with symptoms consistent with the virus.
Citing repeated examples of China's efforts to block information about Covid-19 as a reason to punish it, McCaul said the U.S. must stop buying certain crucial products from China. "If we can pull these chains out of China, it will hurt them economically," McCaul said. "And that would be very punitive in nature."
