China risks global health
Until early December 2022, China’s relevant government authorities were telling the world that China had zero cases of covid-19. None at all, they said. Well, pardon my skepticism, but that was being optimistic by anyone’s standards. We will examine why this “zero cases” of Covid-19 is likely never to have been true. But for now, let’s just say that this was what President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had decreed, so it had to be this way. Now, when we look at the Chinese reports on Covid-19, we must also keep in mind that this is the same China that gave the rest of the world Covid-19 in the first place. And back then, they were shy and almost unwilling to share anything with an unsuspecting world. Unfortunately, it seems that little has changed.
Let’s remember what happened then. Towards the end of that fateful year of 2019, the central city of Wuhan etched its name in the history books as the place where covid-19 first broke out. By now, some three years later, we should all know a lot about the origins of Covid-19. But unfortunately, we really don’t.
