As time goes on they just appear more and more guilty. We originally started seeing COVID in early 2020. It was reported that it came from China and that the communist nation had been dealing with it for a few months. But a new report claims they had actually been dealing with it since August 2019. No wonder they have fewer cases, they have had it for 6 months longer than anyone else. The new timeline is based on the purchase of Polymerase Chain Reaction tests which China but a heck of a lot of that summer.
“An initial view of the data depicts the dramatic increase of PCR procurement contracts in 2019,” the report says. “The increase was present in both the contract total value and the number of contracts.”
PCR tests are the gold standard for COVID-19 virus testing and if there was spike in the use of those tests in the Spring of 2019, as the report suggests, that could mean the timeline for when the virus was actually spreading in the wild would dramatically shift: from December 2019 to as early as May 2019.
Among other things, there was a dramatic increase in the total amount of money spent on these tests in and around Wuhan, in Hubei province, the report said. In 2015, institutions there spent about 19.1 million yuan ($2.9 million) on PCR tests. Two years later, in 2017, they spent about 29.1 million yuan and in 2018, institutions around Wuhan spent 36.7 million on these tests.
But when analysts looked at the spending in 2019, the government contract value for PCR tests was higher than the previous two years combined: 67.4 million yuan. (The tests got more expensive, which also suggests they got pricer as demand went up, the report says.)”
If this proves to be true then China really dropped the ball here. They should have warned the world far earlier. If we all had known there wouldn’t have been half the chaos, and likey we could have prevented the whole pandemic.
