COVID-19: Is China’s Incompetence The Pandemic’s True Epicenter

It is China’s coverup and mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak that lends credence to the possibility that it has all been due to incompetence at a Chinese CDC lab at the pandemic’s epicenter. The autocratic arrogance of the Chinese Communist Party and significant misactions by others on the world stage led directly to the rapid spread of the pandemic.

At the first of January, researchers analyzing the virus successfully mapped the COVID-19 genome, and the information was kept under wraps over a week as party officials claimed there were no new cases.
That allowed Wuhan visitors to return to homes in Thailand, the U.S. and other places carrying the disease.

The dogs that didn’t bark as coronavirus spread across America:

Note: As of this date, I estimate that (based on death statistics and the timeline of ‘infection to death’, plus, allowing for the current expected rate of increase in infection rates) about 4% of Americans are infected with the COVID-19 virus. That’s a long ways from the 60% needed before ‘herd immunity’ starts to kick in. 

It’s going to be a long, long haul. Let’s hope and pray that some effective treatments, etcetera are soon developed. 

Maybe we will learn to better consider the term ‘human race’ in its more inclusive form.
