	It didn’t help that good old Canada was letting the Chinese in for along time even after we stopped.
</p>



<p>
	Hows Canada doing?
</p>



<p>
	Mexico?

	All the roads for the virus infection leads back to China. The early China travel ban by Trump helped but Europe did not have a China travel ban and those infected in China carried the virus to Europe. Than infected Europeans were coming into our country. We finally did have a European travel ban but that came later a number of weeks after the China travel ban. By that time the horses were already out of the barn.

<p>
	Well, there are "the Chinese" and there is the Chinese government.
</p>

<p>
	Why your point is valid:
</p>

<p>
	<em>But American intelligence agencies have concluded that the Chinese government itself does not know the extent of the virus and is as blind as the rest of the world. <strong>Midlevel bureaucrats in the city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, and elsewhere in China have been lying about infection rates, testing and death counts, fearful that if they report numbers that are too high they will be punished, lose their position or worse, current and former intelligence officials said.</strong></em>
</p>

<p>
	This at the beginning from the same article:
</p>

<p>
	<em><strong>The C.I.A. has been warning the White House since at least early February that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/world/asia/wuhan-coronavirus.html" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#326891">China</span></u></a> has vastly understated its coronavirus infections and that its count could not be relied upon as the United States compiles predictive models to fight the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/world/asia/wuhan-coronavirus.html" rel="external nofollow"><u><span style="color:#326891">virus</span></u></a>, according to current and former intelligence officials.</strong></em>
</p>

<p>
	Why Cal's point is valid:
</p>

<p>
	If our own CIA knew of China's vastly understated infections how could it possibly be that the Chinese government didn't?
</p>

<p>
	Does that not give credence to Cals and many others assertion that the Chinese govt. was lying?
</p>

<p>
	btw...the article you posted aimed at Cal was absurd and pointless.  Not Cal, not anybody here ascribes to those ridiculous conspiracies.... well maybe JABF does lol.

			I understand. But I don't buy into them, I just wonder. There really IS a wuhan virus study lab. china really DID LIE and coverup.
		</p>

		<p>
			we and all our friends wear masks, self-quarantine. Defend china by coming up with a diss on anyone who puts the blame where it belongs all you want to. People try to understand what is going on - most all of them don't know about diseases and pandemics etc.
		</p>

		<p>
			So, they try to figure it out. I don't know of anyone who constructs "conspiracy" theories in real life - but nearly everybody is wondering how this happened.
		</p>

		<p>
			Refusing to admit it started in china IS a conspiracy theory.
		</p>

		<p>
			But reality is the best way to avoid it happening again.
