Are you angry at the Chicoms yet?
How about this? 760,000 people flooded into the US from China AFTER the CCP knew about the deadliness and alarming infectiousness of the virus.

If you ask me, the f****** did that on purpose and if someone bothers to look it up I suspect they did the same thing to Europe. It is either epic bureaucratic incompetence or it is an act of evil the world has not seen for 50 years (since Mao)
Ok. The video you posted going through evidence this spilled accidentally from the Wuhan virology lab looks legit. Some commenters, some native Mandarin speakers, verified the posts of data in Chinese on the video. It was well researched and corroborated. That lab is very close to the wet market as well. And there is this missing person who worked there during the time all of this kicked off.
So there was a BIG mistake, and they tried to cover it, then contain it, then cover up the actual numbers and effects of it. Looks like they're still doing a bit of that, but it's kind of amazing then that they didn't hide those documents from the Virology lab. Of course they could be fabricated too. Who really knows.
We do know something is fishy.
But travel is a different thing altogether. This article mentions also that about 1/3 of that number were Americans returning home from travelling in China. All you have to do is look at the number of normally scheduled fights around the world to see that this stuff will spread regardless of intent.
Travel data of passengers arriving in the United States from China during the critical period in December, January and February, when the disease took hold in that country, shows a stunning 759,493 people entered the U.S.
"This is an astonishing number in a short period of time, illustrating how globalized our world has become. Just as people can hop continents with amazing ease, the infections they carry can too," said Dr. Vinayak Kumar, an internal medicine resident at the Mayo Clinic and a contributor to the ABC News Medical Unit.
Those travelers from China included more than 228,000 Americans returning home and hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals arriving for business, academics, tourism or to visit family.
There were also a LOT more coming later from places where the virus had already taken hold in Europe.
ABC News examined data from December, January and February on travelers entering the U.S. from eight of the hardest-hit countries: 343,402 arrived from Italy, 418,848 from Spain and about 1.9 million more came from Britain.
The idea that the Chinese are misrepresenting the situation in China, and have been doing so for a very long time, is now beyond doubt.
The idea that this was somehow an intentional spread of disease is not clearly supported by any objective information, but would also not stand up to basic logic: China is a manufacturing nation, it's economy relying on the purchasing power and economic health of the other wealthy developed countries, most especially the US. China and Chinese companies have extensive investments in the US and any downturn in the economy will hurt them as much or more as the US and Europe.
While China now carries a big stick to go along with it's focus on commerce, it's essentially a mercantile empire, not a military expansionist one.
