They are machines built on a microscopic level.
Generally called NANITES.
hahahahahaha ... I like that image, of shrinking everyone down. Like the movie Fantastic Voyage.
And then all the microscopic people work in microscopic factories.
Nah. They basically use the same technology that lets us create chips with the computing power beyond what used to take up entire buildings.
Imagine a robot the size of a single-cell organism.

While the Coronavirus has appeared to be of natural origin, there is an unresolved “gain of function research” query regarding it (see below). Perhaps but not proven, extracted by scientists from bats; but how the virus got into human beings, who was ‘patient zero’ and if they had any connection to a lab (lab leak), remains currently unresolved.
Due to the World high mortality total caused by Cornavirus (“covid-19” since defined as the name for the disease caused by the virus) the world is owed a frank factual-explanation by China:
* There ARE two virus laboratories in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China:
the “Wuhan Institute of Virology” (“WIV”),
and the “Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention” (“Wuhan CDC”),
(“the Wuhan labs”); the same city where the first infections were reported.
* The WIV extracted cornavirus from bats, but deny having-had the “SARS-CoV-2” virus in-stock at the time of the outbreak:
- - - - Start of extracts: - - - -
“[...] the lab [WIV state that they] started research into COVID-19 on December 30 [2019] when it received samples of a pneumonia of an unknown cause from the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. [...]
The lab [WIV] obtained the whole genome sequence of the virus and identified it as a novel coronavirus from isolated strains. The virus sequence was submitted to the World Health Organization on January 11 [2020 ...].”

* Chinese people do NOT eat bats (in mainland China); so no bats sold at the Wuhan Wild / wet market(s).
* Following the bat theory of transmission to humans, it has since been reported:
- - - - Start of extract: - - - -
“Experts [no identification] think [no evidence provided] the new coronavirus [...] jumped to humans via an intermediary animal species”
[However, no “SARS-CoV-2” virus detected in animals at the Wuhan Wild / Wet market(s) (see source below).]

See previous source.
- - - - End of extract - - - -
* The Wuhan lab(s) claim to have found no match for the “SARS-CoV-2” virus, with the genetic information of other bat coronaviruses they had collected (see previous source); thus failing to exclude the possibilities that the Wuhan lab(s) had: “Collected” the virus whether Knowingly or Unknowingly followed by its accidental escape.
* Wuhan CDC states Wuhan markets found NOT to be the source of the Coronavirus:
- - - - Start of extract: - - - -
“Samples collected from animals at the market came back negative for the new coronavirus, suggesting that they couldn’t have infected shoppers.”

[Heading:] “Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate on Covid-19 Origin”

“WASHINGTON-Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped[https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-intelligence-sifts-evidence-for-origins-of-coronavirus-11587077170?mod=article_inline] from the laboratory.
The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.””

* Unclear in what manner the covid-19 virus first accessed human beings.
* The only logical method for the Cornavirus to escape the Wuhan lab(s), would be by way of infected Wuhan lab(s) employee(s).
* Unclear who was ‘Patient Zero’, and whether they had “connection” with the Wuhan lab(s).
* While currently no evidence of an escape of this virus from the Wuhan lab(s), it tends to insult common-sense to assert no-connection between the proximity of the Wuhan lab(s) (having admitted to collecting similar viruses) and the outbreak in Wuhan.
The information spread on the Internet tends to look somewhat like deliberate-fake-news, since it appears to change as reaction to other more factual information as it emerges; the oldest fake-news listed first as follows:
i) A virus found in bats caused an infection at the Wuhan wet and wild market(s):
while ignoring the possibility of an accidental-escape of such a virus from the Wuhan lab(s), which had been busy extracting viruses, indeed from bats.
ii) Reports of Chinese people eating bats (without mentioning this refers only to Palau and Indonesia; not to mainland China):
https://observers.france24.com/en/20200203-china-coronavirus-bat-soup-debunk-videos-viral-palau-indonesia
iii) The Wuhan Lab - We didn’t have it in stock - what a relief ! See first source above.
iv) It didn’t get into humans from bats but from some other “intermediary animal species”; now apparently a conspiracy between the bats and the pangolins!:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-pangolins-idUSKBN2010XA
v) An American plot:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-52224331
vi) It didn’t originate in China at all, but entered China through imported frozen food:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-origin-idUSKBN2861A2
vii) Not from China but from an American lab !:
https://www.insider.com/china-conspiracy-theory-claims-us-created-coronavirus-2021-1
Further, factual-information released in a deceptive-manner, failing to address the possibility of either an accidental or intentional capture of the virus by the Wuhan lab, followed by an accidental-release of the virus by the Wuhan lab, as follows:
The Cornavirus is natural - It wasn’t made in a lab!:

- - - - Start of extract: - - - -
“[...] Two labs in Wuhan were studying coronaviruses, experts told NBC News: the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or WIV, and the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, shorthanded as the Wuhan CDC. Researchers from both facilities collected the virus samples from bats in caves. The goal of the research was to learn more about a family of viruses that had already been proven lethal to humans in the 2002 SARS outbreak.
Less is known about the Wuhan CDC, which is a short distance from the Wuhan wet market where officials first said the virus emerged. [...]”

Finding fault over any accidental lab leak, serves no purpose. Rather, solidarity between countries in such a crisis, serves better. Human beings are not perfect and so are capable of making mistakes.
However, the Chinese government needs to accept responsibility for the failings of the Wuhan lab(s): destroy the stocks of pathogen, and shut any offending lab down; before a new occurrence with a different virus in proximity to the Wuhan lab(s), not only embarrasses China, but again endangers the world.
Other governments need to look long and hard at the risk posed by their own similar laboratories.
