I lean towards an infected pangolin then infected other animals in a wet-market, but the more yelling and hand-waving makes me wonder why they are making noise.

My guess would be a Government not used to being questioned who haven't really had to deal with a problem of this magnitude in a society that is culturally deferential in the first place and massively concerned about keeping face doesn't really know how else to react and is scared witless of the economic effects and the political ramifications, in a sense its not that different from Trump.
