China did not "invent" this disease. That is a bogus theory spread by fuckwits.
Ok, but you going to ignore evidence that China was slow to handle THEIR Virus outbreak?
Study Reveals How Deadly China’s Coronavirus Cover-Up Was
By

Excerpt:
The coronavirus was already spreading around the world before China acted to combat its spread for approximately three weeks, according to
a timeline generated by Axios. And those three weeks were extremely consequential.
A
study by the University of Southampton published this month tells us how China’s cover-up affected the spread of the virus:
The study estimates that by the end of February 2020 there was a total of 114, 325 COVID-19 cases in China. It shows that without non-pharmaceutical interventions – such as early detection, isolation of cases, travel restrictions and cordon sanitaire – the number of infected people would have been 67 times larger than that which actually occurred.
The research also found that
if interventions in the country could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively – significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease.

===================
It has been suspected for a while now.
Yes they are sure one of YOUR favorite "grown up" countries.
Trump reckoned it was no big deal till last week. Some on here still think it is a hoax. The Chinese look to have cracked it while we **** about worrying about the stock market.
Now you are LYING.....
I posted evidence several that Trump has taken it seriously enough to set up the task force on JANUARY 30, 2020, close borders against China and more:
1. Falsely claiming Trump called the coronavirus 'a hoax'
While Democrats were busy impeaching President Trump, the Trump administration was busy addressing the coronavirus outbreak, taking various measures to limit the spread of the virus in the United States. With impeachment over and Democrats needing a new talking point, they started to blame Trump for his allegedly inadequate response to the outbreak. President Trump responded to these allegations during a rally in South Carolina, calling their politicization of the coronavirus "the new hoax."
The media jumped on this line, claiming that Trump called the virus, not the Democrats' reactions to it, a hoax. The lie
spread like wildfire and Joe Biden even
used the lie as a talking point on the stump. There was quite a stir when Politico’s story repeating the false claim that Trump called the virus a hoax
was flagged by Facebook fact-checkers as fake news, but other fact-checkers
couldn’t deny that the claim was false either.
Here’s the line in full context:
Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes.
One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it.
And this is their new hoax.
It’s obvious Trump was calling the Democrats’ politicization of the coronavirus the new hoax they’d used to try to take him down. Unfortunately, the media’s hit job had the intended result: to this day there are people who believe Trump called the virus itself “a hoax,” and have used that lie to mock his
and other Republicans’ actions in response to the outbreak.

President Trump Establishes Coronavirus Response Task Force – Headed by HHS Secretary Alex Azar…
excerpt:
President Donald J. Trump announced the formation of the President’s Coronavirus Task Force. Members of the Task Force have been meeting on a daily basis since Monday. At today’s meeting, which the President chaired, he charged the Task Force with leading the United States Government response to the novel 2019 coronavirus and with keeping him apprised of developments.
The Task Force is led by Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, and is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from the White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.
The Task Force will lead the Administration’s efforts to monitor, contain, and mitigate the spread of the virus, while ensuring that the American people have the most accurate and up-to-date health and travel information.
and this expose showing China didn't tell the whole story,
Did China downplay the coronavirus outbreak early on?
A new study shows the virus took off weeks earlier than Chinese officials have suggested.

Excerpt:
In late December, when China first announced the outbreak of a
mysterious pneumonia, officials in the country were quite clear on a few things.
Most of the patients had been exposed to a food market in Wuhan, the city that’s still the epicenter of the outbreak, according to
local health authorities. The
earliest case had symptoms just two weeks earlier, on December 12. There was also “no clear evidence” of human-to-human transmission, meaning the virus wasn’t yet spreading from one person to another. That suggested people might have been getting sick directly from animals in the market.

Shall I go on, your partisan responses are stupid.
