Swine flu originated in Mexico,Worldwide flu outbreak killed 45,000 American Soldiers during World War I
2009 swine flu pandemic originated in Mexico, researchers discover
But many medical historians say it's likely the virus launched itself onto the world from Haskell County, Kansas, and the United States Army helped move it along to become a worldwide killer.
In January and February 1918, according to the 2005 book "The Great Influenza," local physician Loring Miner found people in the sparsely populated county -- 1,720 people occupying 578 square miles - were coming down with a particularly violent strain of flu. Strong, healthy people died.

I think “concern for humanity” is a stretch. I think concern for re-election is what motivates everything he does.
True, he pretends to care just enough, and it's fleeting.

Senator Dumped Up to $1.6 Million of Stock After Reassuring Public About Coronavirus Preparedness — ProPublicaI having a hard time understanding how sick these people (Republican leaders) are. I have no qualms with the average everyday old style Republican, but how can you just keep condoning the insanity that spews forth from YOUR party? You need to wake up from your daze, get a backbone, and vote for someone who isn't a slimebag.

Another one busted!
The Senate’s newest member,Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) sold off seven figures worth of stock holdings in the days and weeks after a private, all-Senators meeting on the novel coronavirus that subsequently hammered U.S.
Between January 24 and February 14, by contrast, Loeffler reported selling stock jointly owned with her husband worth between $1,275,000 and $3,100,000, according to transaction reports filed with Senate ethics officials,” The Beast reported. “The fifteen stocks that Loeffler reported selling have lost more than a third of their value, on average, since she reported offloading them.

The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on the same day. By late January, Seoul had medical companies starting to work on a diagnostic test — one was approved a week later. Today, the U.S. isn’t even close to meeting test demand https://reut.rs/3daq8mF

COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic has a natural origin
In the other proposed scenario, a non-pathogenic version of the virus jumped from an animal host into humans and then evolved to its current pathogenic state within the human population. For instance, some coronaviruses from pangolins, armadillo-like mammals found in Asia and Africa, have an RBD structure very similar to that of SARS-CoV-2. A coronavirus from a pangolin could possibly have been transmitted to a human, either directly or through an intermediary host such as civets or ferrets.
Then the other distinct spike protein characteristic of SARS-CoV-2, the cleavage site, could have evolved within a human host, possibly via limited undetected circulation in the human population prior to the beginning of the epidemic. The researchers found that the SARS-CoV-2 cleavage site, appears similar to the cleavage sites of strains of bird flu that has been shown to transmit easily between people. SARS-CoV-2 could have evolved such a virulent cleavage site in human cells and soon kicked off the current epidemic, as the coronavirus would possibly have become far more capable of spreading between people.

Sounds good to me!Along with trump who keeps telling governors and the medical community “your on your own, we’re not shipping clerks.” This is a self proclaimed wartime president* telling frontline soldiers to scrounge up their own ammunition.
Edit: I keep reading comments from trump defenders saying lay off him, he’s doing the best he can. I agree, he’s doing best HE can, we need someone who is capable and willing to do much better.

The consensus among researchers studying the spread of the virus pinpoints COVID-19’s likely origin to a “wet market,” or live animal market, in Wuhan, China. Though experts have not ruled out the possibility that the pathogen could have been brought to the market by an already infected person, there is no evidence to suggest COVID-19 originated outside the country.

Guess Who Said It After Declaring A National Emergency
“Governors are supposed to be doing a lot of this work … the federal government is not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. We’re not a shipping clerk. As with testing — the governors are supposed to be doing it … but this is really for the local governments, governors, and people within the state, depending on the way they divided it up.
“Governors are supposed to get it. States are supposed to get it. For years, they bought ’em — and now, all of a sudden, they’re coming to the federal government.”
