(Bloomberg) -- Japan is emerging as one of the riskiest places for the spread of the coronavirus, prompting criticism that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government has misfired on its policies to block the outbreak. The number of infections in Japan has more than doubled in the past week to 74...
While the hundreds of cases aboard the ship have grabbed the world’s attention, they are not counted among Japan’s total. What appears to be more troublesome is that Japan is starting to see a surge in cases in multiple areas across the country -- sometimes with little to link the outbreaks

They have had viruses that have come to life after sitting thousands of years. A virus is not a living thing, it can sit for long periods of time under certain conditions. Someone who had the virus could have been working somewhere where they coughed on some food containers and it spread from there. There are thousands of possible ways that a virus could spread.
It could be airborn, they are disinfecting streets in China, that should be a hint.

There you went and opened a can of worms! That definition has been disputed forever: living, or not.
Frankly, they seem to operate like a machine, a quantum machine?
How they come into being, in all their variety, with this crazy ability to reproduce without self consciousness ... just mind blowing.

That might explain China using giant tanker trucks spraying clouds of disinfectant up and down the streets.
It truly sounds like an engineered bioweapon to me. Ive read that it has component proteins that are related to both SARS and HIV. Whoever made the virus, meant business.
Remember, they are also disinfecting and destroying currency notes in China as well.

Not to mention possibly coming from space hitching a ride on rocks that fall to earth. Any unusual space debris land in China lately?

Destroying money makes no sense. If it can only live a few days on surfaces, they could simply store the money for a few weeks...... So, either it can live in paper for much much longer or there is another reason they want to get rid of cash.
