Re: Corona virus
That’s a curious report. No doubt China will dangle that wiener in Trump’s face for a while. The cheeto’s been taking a lot of stabs at China about this pandemic. Lot of people getting hurt because of it; just like at the start of 2016 but a different minority.
Also curious, though, Le Figaro is reporting that the US administration has paid China to re-route a large shipment of masks already paid for and destined for France, by paying three times the price for them. That seems like a bold move, even for Donald Dump. I think that one might fall in the propaganda bucket. We’ll see.

Re: Corona virus
Here’s another curious report my wife has found… covid may not have started in China, in fact, but Italy. Apparently they were dealing with a mysterious illness in the north as far back as November. They didn’t know what it was at the time so it didn’t get any attention.
That might explain why southern Europe has been hit so hard while more northerly countries haven’t. Carriers went unchecked and undetected across borders to all the football matches.

Yeah, well that’s how the media can work when government’s want it to or don’t play along. Keeping it quiet can be just as effective as flooding it with fake news. The truth is lost.
And by the time it was reported, wuhan had already blew up to the point nobody was going to believe otherwise anyway. Bat soup is powerful imagery, much to cheeto’s delight, I’m sure.

There is also this.
The first case of someone suffering from Covid-19 can be traced back to 17 November, according to media reports on unpublished Chinese government data. The report, in the South China Morning Post, said Chinese authorities had identified at least 266 people who contracted the virus last year and who came under medical surveillance, and the earliest case was 17 November – weeks before authorities announced the emergence of the new virus. – First Covid-19 case happened in November, China government records show – report

Re: Corona virus
“Thus week by week the prisoners of plague put up what fight they could. Some, like Rambert, even contrived to fancy they were still behaving as free men and had the power of choice. But actually it would have been truer to say that by this time, mid-August, the plague had swallowed up everything and everyone. No longer were there individual destinies; only a collective destiny, made of plague and the emotions shared by all. Strongest of these emotions was the sense of exile and of deprivation, with all the crosscurrents of revolt and fear set up by these.” Albert Camus. The Plague

That is based on the Dr Remuzzi interview. I had seen reports of people in North-West US of A (I think it was washington state) suffering similar strange cases of flu or pneumonia so no public link (and it was mostly less fortunate people without much of a medical insurance). That was all via a private mailing list. Then there is the strange behaviour of the flu season in Japan. BTW Northern Italy ands Lombardy in particular is home to larger communities of Chinese people, many from the Hubei / Wuhan area…
in the meantime in the Globe :
Why would we trust China’s official COVID-19 numbers?
I’ll give you this WSJ one – both fit in the ‘the dog ate my homework’ category of propaganda that seem to afflict much of the western media.
edit – a period can help make a sentence understandable.
