Imo it’s to obvious blaming USA, personally wouldn’t put it past trump have to say!
Viruses mutate all the time, but most changes are synonymous or “silent”, having little effect on the way the virus behaves. Others, known as nonsynonymous substitutions, can alter biological traits, allowing them to adapt to different environments.
Two nonsynonymous changes took place in the viral strains isolated from the family, according to a new study by Professor Cui Jie and colleagues at the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai.
Using 2019 data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), we identified all cities in China that received at least 100 000 airline passengers from Wuhan during February through April, 2019. In a scenario where these cities might experience local epidemics, we analyzed the volumes of airline passengers to international destinations from February to April, 2019.
We analyzed international airline passenger trips from the following ten cities:Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Chengdu, Xiamen, Haikou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong
We report the top 50 international destination cities of passengers arriving from nine cities in mainland China, plus Hong Kong,and present the corresponding Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index (IDVI) for each receiving country.5The IDVI is a validated measure of a country’s capacity to manage infectious disease threats, and utilizes multiple indicators including health, political, and economic metrics. Scores range from 0 –1 with higher scores representing a greater capacity to cope with epidemic threats
Taipei(1,359,253), Bangkok (1,232,307), Tokyo (1,086,105), Seoul (1,008,960), and Singapore (751,064) received the highest number of passengers from the aforementioned cities. Nine of the 10 cities receiving the highest volumes of arriving passengers were in Asia, with London, U.K.ranking 10th in volume (252,127).
Other European cities include Paris (ranked 25th; 142,724 passengers), and Moscow (ranked 29th; 114,925 passengers). Sydney ranked 11th, receiving 242,577 passengers, while Los Angeles (184,808), New York (148,133), and San Francisco (140,556) received the highest volumes to North American destinations. Cairo (62,470) is the only African city represented in the top 50destinations, whereas no South American city is represented

I can't tell if you're trolling or stupid... But if 10 mil in China get infected, multiply that by how many already are and how its spread to other countries
