    yeah thats what pandemics do, they show up unexpectedly and then spread, and then people go back to normal once they get control of it

    china wasnt prepared for it and neither were we

    Our intelligence community (IC) concluded the virus was not man-made or genetically modified. The IC have not concluded whether or not the virus was, though natural, kept in and then "escaped" from a lab, and are apparently investigating such.

    As soon as Tweety and Palpatine volunteer to run a register and moonlight in ERs, i'll reconsider my opposition to opening up this early.

    no one is "defending" china... they lied about their numbers obviously, and acted like it wasnt as bad as it was, which is not ok.

    but claiming they released a deadly virus all on purpose based on nothing other than your hatred for them "is subhuman and makes you not worth pissing on"

    Again, seems selective as to who “has control” of it.
    for ex: China, where it started, has control and has economically expanded by tons not to mention physically trying to expand.
    US, where it spread to, does not have control and has experienced economical collapse.

    Time lines for China’s “under control” status seems well ahead of the US (Dec-ish - Feb vs early March - at least mid May) I suppose they are just keeping secrets as to how to get it “under control”. Or they are lying and still disregarding the “stay at home” strategy in an effort to expand economically and potentially physically which at least economically is paying off.

    Did This Nobel Prize Winner Say COVID-19 Was Created in a Lab?

    About a 10 second search to disprove the “unanimous” agreement.
    it is debated among scientists.
    Not arguing that it is for sure man made or not, but even in your post, China allowed it to “escape”. The question and need for investigation is whether that was on purpose?
    Due to the actual economical improvements they’ve leaped on and the aggressive approach to dominating “their” debated waters (the South China Sea) seems to have merit regarding the purposeful “escape”.
    Again, I think that it may have been an accident on the timing or how it actually took place, but there is absolutely reason to think they wanted this and if nothing else, to test the US’s response.

    Not exactly. I was guessing at the appx “start date” which was actually 31 Dec that China notified WHO. They haven’t hade any issues since around the beginning - middle of Feb and even then, despite a much larger population, only have appx 1/4 of the cases.

    although this does bring into account that both side (US and China) are lying about numbers. US has already been proven to have been incorrectly reporting to the high side and China likely lying on the low side.

    so maybe about 1-2 months for China, US is right around the 2.5 - 3 month range.

    Virus is here to stay. All we are doing is dragging it out. Hospitals have plenty of space.

    The 2 hospital ships have already gone home and all the military field medical tents set up in preparation for the “first wave”, have all been taken back down.
