Can you really believe the numbers being released by the Chinese government? Yet in any epidemic, population genetics is key to understand the susceptibility, communicability and virulence of any given pathogen. Thus far ( and its very politically incorrect to note) Asiatics seem to have the genetic susceptibility this particular coronavirus. Ultimately genetic susceptibility will determine if most non Asian Americans are at risk.
No-one has mentioned the fact that the communist Chinese government have been trying to assert dominance in the region for many years. Combined with the fact they think the sea is theirs around the region. I wouldn’t put it past them that maybe this virus is intended and targeted towards those of Asian persuasion to gain more territory by an invasive deadly virus instead of an armed invasion. We know they don’t care about their citizens so some collateral damage isn’t something they’ll shed a tear about. just my tin foil hat opinion.
