Why believe anything China claims?
From what I have seen on Youtube videos, etc., much of China is still under major lockdown.
Can't prove it, but I think this is a man-made monster and it is killing far more Chinese than they are saying.
Everybody understands the dangers of the flu and related complications that kill hundreds of thousands every year. We don't need a wild card thrown in the mix. Especially one that tries to kill you and if that doesn't work it tries to kill you again.
A vaccine won't stop it.
Coronavirus update: recent developments in vaccine researchBy Hannah Balfour (Drug Target Review)
27 February 2020
Researchers have identified new compounds with activity against the novel coronavirus called COVID-19 and other coronaviruses eg, severe acute respiratory syndrome virus (SARS-CoV) and Middle-East respiratory disease virus (MERS-CoV).
Scientists working towards a broad-spectrum antiviral able to combat all the coronaviruses identified a target – a ‘main protease’ that is essential for viral replication. According to the team, enteroviruses, such as those causing foot and mouth disease and the common cold, also have a similar protein called the 3C protease for viral replication, so can also be treated through this target.

“Our previous experience working with other coronaviruses, including both MERS and SARS, allowed us to mobilize quickly against COVID-19 and successfully complete the critical preliminary steps to engineer viable vaccine candidates,†said Stanley Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Novavax. “Now that the protein has been expressed stably in our baculovirus system, we aim to identify the optimal candidate and scale up production of sufficient vaccine for preliminary clinical trials.
We are now well-positioned to advance the COVID-19 vaccine candidate to Phase I clinical testing in May or June.
So they are attacking on two fronts. Antiviral drugs that cure you. Vaccines that help you from needing to be cured.
