Think about the timeline.....


First Coronavirus infection likely in October 2019. Wasn’t noticed in media until late December. Assuming that the Chinese weren’t actively covering up at that point, it was probably spreading quickly for about 2 months with before it was identified as a serious problem. Could have been viewed as simple flu. Note that the incubation period has been upped to 24 days. So the real numbers are only coming out now. The rest of the world is effectively in lag mode. China is worse and the virus travels easier because of living conditions and huge populations living in close proximity. If the virus is truly airborne, it will only be a matter of time before the numbers explode across the globe. I note that some supposed scientists in Romania have speculated that the virus is more virulent in Asians. Here is another supposed speculation on genetic susceptibility.
