Found a couple of interesting articles. Posting a beginning paragraph and conclusion as an excerpt of American Thinker-the part in between notes reasons for conclusion. The second is about the Stanford Study-so called “herd immunity” may be here already:

China Is Preparing to Start a War with America
By William L. Gensert
I believe that China’s actions today may be telegraphing an intent we are choosing to ignore. They show all the signs of a nation preparing to attack America. China seeks a bespoke world run by China with “Chinese characteristics” — a dream that under Trump was drifting away. ...snip...
China is on the clock. Today, it is formidable, with a sophisticated and capable military. The Chinese may be able to win a confrontation, even a war, with the United States. Under Obama’s policy of surrender, China had a chance of overtaking us economically while growing its military until its primacy was a fait accompli. But Trump killed that dream with his trade war, exposing the inherent weaknesses of the Chinese economy. And should the aftermath of the pandemic play out without interference, China’s position in the world will be irreparably damaged.
What does China have to lose?
Time is not on China’s side. Unless the Chinese destroy us on the field of battle soon, the clock will run out, and the dream of the coming “Chinese century” will be just that: a dream.
Everything they are doing points to them preparing to do so.
For China, there will never be a better time to start a war with America.

Stanford Study Indicates Virus Spread May Be 85 Times Higher Than Thought

Spot on! ...and certainly not just 0bama; WJC enriched himself and the 'rat party by selling the secret of getting a missile higher than a roof top, plus a few nuclear tech secrets... and GWB did nothing to reverse any of that. We complained under Clinton in the 90s that our trade deficit with China of $45 bil a year was too high; when DJT took office the deficit was $450 bil a year - not counting theft of intellectual property and other considerations. I would not be surprised to learn that by 2016 the deficit was close to a trillion dollars a year.
I am not so sure about wanting war, although Taiwan hangs out there as a trophy. I have heard military types say that China fears our military enough to discourage them. Still, it is anyone's guess.
