Marketwatch article: Inside China%u2019s campaign to blame the U.S. for the coronavirus pandemic
On March 8, the Chinese ambassador to South Africa tweeted that, %u201CAlthough the epidemic first broke out in China, it did not necessarily mean that the virus is originated from China, let alone %u2018made in China.%u2019 %u201D
Days later, the clearest salvo in the conspiracy campaign came from China%u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, who tweeted: %u201CCDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!%u201D

Maybe we should send China an invoice to pay for this sh7!

Let's say both H1N1 and China Virus kill 12,800 people. The difference is China Virus uses more hospital resources to get this result.
W/O respirators and personnel, the 12,800 dead for China Virus would be 20,000+.
The strain on hospital resources is different then H1N1.

The US and China two of the world largest economies suffering and economic meltdown. Russia aside from oil war with Saudi remain unscathed. Disruption in election is proven. It would be difficult to prove this one.
@eyephone,
As always, since your capacity of holding knowledge and information is far greater than mine, I believe you went above and beyond of what I was really thinking or discussing.
For Covid-19, this virus coming from wet market in China is where most people are thinking of the origination, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true and I have to believe it. Where did it really come from? I don't know. But I haven't come to a conclusion whereas you firmly believe to know the absolute fact, which is fine since that is your valid opinion. But Russia and India having far less infection is pretty questionable to me.
Now we're not really talking about where it came from. We're talking about where it's heading. Panda predicts it could get far worse than people think, but I do not hope that is true. How many people agree with Panda?

We don't know that...Ask Tom Hanks, he is right in the kill zone and his wife is compromised from cancer treatments. They were in the hospital for 3 days and only really for observation. They took more grief from eating too much Vegemite than from the virus.

It's really disheartening to see the politicians and the media try to blame the Federal govt. for the Wuhan Virus pandemic. This pandemic was caused by the Chinese Communist Party and no one else. You can debate where the virus came from but there is no doubt the CCP deliberately silenced all those who tried to warn the world about the virus before it got out of the PRC.
If a gangster shoots someone and the paramedics did not do the best job in helping the victim, you blame the gangster, not the paramedic.

My theory is because people weren't sure if it was normal flu or swine flu as it happened during the flu season. So most people who get the flu, stay home instead of going to the hospital.
Now, because of the fear of death, people go to the hospital immediately, even if it's just a cold or allergies and that's what stretches resources.
I do remember back during swine flu in 2009, there was messaging to stay home unless you were having complications but there was no hoarding of Charmin, Purell or Arrowhead.

Medical staff regularly talk about burden of flu and strain on health network. Two or three years ago was bad, I remember the nurses I know all talking about the hospital situation Any time we have a heavier than average flu year, the healthcare system feels and talks about strain.
Go to the CDC site, Swine Flu was highly infectious but very mild in hospitalizations and deaths compared to an average flu year.
