"not under control in China" (none / 1)
If I hadn't spent so much time over the past 60 days rifling CDC's library of "post-pandemic" (yes, that's a pseudo-scientific term) and public health  PR, I might be alarmed by innerboob propagandists.

The press corpse standard of political or statistical control is a deliberately low, arbitrary benchmark of "community spread" (yes, another pseudo-scientific term circulating) by every metric trotted out to discredit Chinese gov bureaucracy: SARS (2003)?!

Who controls the narrative of geopolitical CONTAINMENT?--threats, enemies, battles, fights, George Kennan

Before SARS, MERS episodes and since several lethal/deadly/true fatality "novel coronavirus" (yes, another pseudo-scientific term) epidemics have ravished reason, intelligence worldwide only to retired as ignoble, endemic seasonally adjusted "burdens" (yes, another pseudo-scientific term circulating) on GDP growth.

My favorite malignant episode, apart from the ebola living lab pHARMa caper (2014-2016, 2018 to present), is The Bird Flu (2009) a threat originating in the USA that killed in one year 151,700-575,400 people worldwide (12,469 USA), and rapidly collapsed into a "normal" seasonal virus event. How rapid? Cynthia McKinney found this nifty visualization of progress, and COVID-19's imminent fade from trade war 2020 stage.
