China: Wuhan Corona Virus Conspiracy??

2-10-20, Update:

​Death rate of Wuhan virus reaches 15%
1-26-20, DCClothesline -- Based on the "officially-unconfirmed" information, it appears that the Corona Virus somehow escaped China’s BSL-4 lab located in Wuhan, sometime around November 2019. It's now reported death rate is 15%. The numbers ... oh those pesky numbers -  we're now told that the virus has a 15% mortality rate  using some math based on 800 deaths; that equals the number of infected people: 5,333. So in a world of about 7 billion people only 5,333 are infected??  There isn't a coronavirus pandemic; there wasn't an ebola or swine flu pandemic either ...

Coronavirus: Global death toll for virus soars past 800 worst than SARS!
Feb 09, 2020 · China reported an additional 89 deaths on Sunday, bringing the total number of people killed by the fast-spreading coronavirus to 811 in the mainland. The global death toll for the new coronavirus... [yes soars past 800 with 89 deaths] That number exceeds the global number of deaths from SARS, which killed at least 774 people and infected 8,096 people worldwide in 2002 and 2003, according to data from the World Health Organization [another hoax] More from CNBC here

Don't Share False Coronavirus Reports
1-29-20, Gizmodo.com --  Predictably there's a lot of false reporting around the Wuhan coronavirus. Depending on your news sources the alerts you may have read around the Wuhan coronavirus may have been, to put it less than politely, complete garbage. Yes, there's good reason to be alert around any illness spreading; there are already plenty of groups using this outbreak as an excuse to indulge in fear mongering with a racist tone. This is made considerably worse, of course, by the speed of internet communication and the way that current internet culture often splits into virtual echo chambers.[..] According to the latest World Health Organisation (WHO) situation report the primary centre for the spread of the disease is – you guessed it – China. Yes, there are confirmed cases in Australia for a very small number of individuals, but the current guidance from WHO is that "most seem to have mild disease."

 On 1-25-20 The New York Times reported the virus had infected more than 900 people around the world. There is no report suggesting that millions of people have been affected.

1-24-20, Have 23 million people been quarantined? 2.8 million infected? and 112,000 people killed from the coronavirus in China? 
No: Even though Chinese authorities have restricted the travel for 35 million people due to the outbreak, the numbers of infections and casualties have been greatly exaggerated. Source?? The story cites "covert intelligence sources," not named officials who could verify these claims on the record. [..] The Wall Street Journal, reported at least 26 deaths have been attributed to the outbreak so far, not 112,000. While the real numbers being reported are much lower.

​1-28-20, Update:
​China expands quarantine to 12 cities and 35 million residents
MSN.com -- The quarantine now encompasses 12 cities, impacting 35 million residents...
​

The numbers just don’t add up - The Chinese Nation has 1.3 BILLION people; the city of Wuhan has 11 million people and the Wujan coronavirus hits; doesn't make sense that IF this is the horrible doomsday disease:

•     Only approx 900 people are reported sick and only appx 100 people are officially dead
•     35 million people are quarantined and restricted for something with such a low death toll
•     This illness has been diagnosed in fewer than a thousand people out of 1.3 billion
•     Why would China cause this as it is costing loss of revenue in tourism, entertainment, travel and more
•     Millions of people are out of work during this shutdown
  
• [China is being accused of doing this deliberately - doesn't make sense]

​1-27-20, Update:
I've received some pushback on my report and I see how the reports are an onslaught ... just like with Ebola ... it too was false hysteria as only 5,000 people died from Ebola since the current outbreak of the virus began sweeping through Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. Congo population 92 million people; again hardly an epidemic that was pushed and declared one.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever first appeared in Zaire (currently, the Democratic Republic of the Congo or DRC or Congo) in 1976. The original outbreak was in a village named Yambuku near the Ebola River after which the disease was named. During that time, researchers identified the virus in person-to-person contact transmission. Of the 318 patients diagnosed with Ebola, 88% died. https://www.newsweek.com/why-do-some-die-ebola-and-others-survive-281157

I understand why this current hysteria is hard to refuse when so many are scared and hysterically reporting the doomsday disaster coming. However, I think the character of the commie China leaders and the numbers of the population vs the numbers of sick and dying with corona virus ... compared with the numbers of sick and dying from measles and common influenza cannot be ignored. [Just like with ebola]

1-25-20, Update:
The numbers for the current hysteria of the coronavirus is hyped and may just be a political ploy by the Chinese govt. Today they report 42 deaths in 1.3 billion people. Hardly an epidemic. Remember Ebola and Zika – they inspired terror. Some say the new Wuhan virus should be renamed calling it XZ-47 virus, or something scarier. However, measles in the Democratic Republic of Congo killed 5,000 people in the past year – more than twice as many as Ebola. Yet many Americans no longer fear measles as it has received little attention. Dr Schaffner reports at USAToday - it's just a blip compared to influenza:

1-24-20, USAToday -- There’s a deadly virus spreading from state to state. It preys on the most vulnerable, striking the sick and the old without mercy. In just the past few months, it has claimed the lives of at least 39 children. The virus is influenza, and it poses a far greater threat to Americans than the coronavirus from China that has made headlines around the world. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and health policy at Vanderbilt University Medical Center said: “When we think about the relative danger of this new coronavirus and influenza, there’s just no comparison. Coronavirus will be a blip on the horizon in comparison. The risk is trivial.” More here:

The Corona Virus Outbreak in Wuhan, China
Epidemic; Really? No
Even World Health Org ... WHO director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the issue an "evolving and complex situation requires further study"

China virus deaths rise to 17 out of ELEVEN MILLION - global fear & alarm

1-21-20, BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Deaths from China’s new flu-like virus rose to 17 with more than 540 cases confirmed, leading the city at the center of the outbreak to close transportation networks and urge citizens not to leave as fears rose of the contagion spreading. Contrasting with its secrecy over the 2002-03 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed nearly 800 people, China’s communist government has this time given regular updates to try to avoid panic as millions travel for the Lunar New Year. Wuhan’s local government [population of eleven million] said it would close all urban transport networks and suspend outgoing flights from the city as of 10 a.m. on Thursday (0200 GMT), state media reported, adding that the government said citizens should not leave the city unless there were special circumstances. [Hmm, 17 deaths of 11 million people?? Wonder how many died of the regular flu?  The US the flu season averages 200,000 hospitalizations and 41,000 deaths. More here]

​China: Annual Regular Flu/ influenza incidence rate 2017
The influenza incidence rate in China from 2015 to 2017 commonly called flu, is a respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. In 2017, approximately 33 in 100,000 contract the flu in China. 1 Research conducted by Fogarty and China Center of Disease Control [CDC] scientists estimates that influenza annually causes 11-18 deaths per 100,000 people in China, with underdeveloped rural areas suffering two to three times higher flu-related death rates than wealthier cities.

Is this Wuhan Virus a Conspiracy Concocted by the Chinese Govt to halt Hong Kong Protests? [1/22/20 SEVENTEEN DEATHS OF 1.4 BILLION]

1-8-20, U/Fenner, Reddit -- The hysteria over the reported Wuhan China corona virus has sparked fears about an epidemic similar to the SARS virus in 2002, when appx 800 deaths occurred. Due to the rumored similarity of the viruses, the entire continent of Asia [population 1.4 billion] is on high alert. I believe this could be a hoax generated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Government.

Why? To spread fear, particularly in Hong Kong, where mass protests are currently happening that essentially oppose the CCP rule in China. My speculations:

• The rumored & reported similarity between deadly SARS virus and the new Wuhan virus naturally incurs a sense of both fear and paranoia
• It's rumored to be easily spread from person to person through an infected person coughing or sneezing - so  people will actively try and avoid crowded events like Hong Kong protests
• Even those who have been fighting on the front lines will become cautious.
• There have been no confirmed cases or deaths in Hong Kong. If the media were to confirm a death or a confirmed case of the virus in HK, the city would go into lockdown, like it did in 2002, verging once again on economic and social collapse.

I do not believe the motive behind this hoax (if indeed a hoax) is to completely ruin Hong Kong. The CCP still values the city, even if it has been quite troublesome.

Therefore, it is only necessary to provide Hong Kong'ers with this aforementioned sense of fear and paranoia which would not only ensure at least a decrease of the number of attendees at protests, but also that Hong Kong as a city does not collapse and can still normally function.

In conclusion, knowing the secretive and cunning nature of the CCP, my speculation is entirely plausible. However, my opinion may be wrong; we shall see. Source
