I mostly agree and my aunt was part of the statistics (died 4/23) BTW this is not really a pandemic but an asymmetric warfare event. Based on that I think we need to take some strong decontamination actions using military grade equipment and agents in the areas where the virus is most prevalent. The number of deaths have gone up and the death rate has been steady.

We are in Phase 3 clinical testing of HCQ/Z-pack/Zinc which is the FDA approval phase for use which should start to arrest it.

Excellent work has been done by DoughtyOne daily which is what I monitor too:

I'm not sure what you mean by an "asymmetric warfare event," but if that means that you think the virus was spread deliberately by China, I think any rational person would at least have to wonder about that possibility.

Consider the facts:

1. Trump has been pursuing an aggressive policy of renegotiating trade agreements with China, as well as hoping to return some manufacturing from China and elsewhere.

2. No Democrat would be likely to pursue those same policies, but would instead continue to aid China in its rise to world dominance.

3. China DOES seek world dominance, and can only be alarmed by the possibility of a resurgent USA.

4. China would know that the American press would reflexively blame the outbreak on Trump, and tend to take China's side in any blame-game.

5. The World Health Organization, with a president beholden to Chinese interests, initially took the view that the virus was not easily spread, and delayed raising the alarm during the crucial early weeks of the virus's spread. The WHO also opposed any international flight restrictions, and takes China's side in any disputes with the US or other countries.

6. The virus emerged in the run-up to an American presidential election, an election featuring Donald Trump, who has been the toughest president on Chinese affairs in decades.

7. The virus probably emerged from a Chinese lab.

I will leave out some of the more speculative arguments, but these alone seem pretty straightforward - most are inarguable, the others highly probable. At some point an accumulation of "coincidences" canto be regarded as a coincidence.
