I saw that too. That spooked me. Half the time I think I am reading to much into this and the rest of the time I am worried. I will not be at ease until I can settle a middle ground.

Where are the majority of the deaths, along with the greatest number of infections? Hong Kong. How many of the deaths have been among non-Chinese? (I realize these are not politically correct questions, but they are pertinent).

"we have about the same numbers that China claimed in three to four months"

Our freedom and mobility are possibly being used as tools to bring us down. Sounds like OBL doesn't it!(But it's not just him if it is being orchestrated.)

Sorry at no time have I seen a report with a break down by ethnicity.

" How many of the deaths have been among non-Chinese? (I realize these are not politically correct questions, but they are pertinent)."

I've been thinking about this too as it would be possible to tailor a virus towards a certain genetic population. Or to choose a particular natural variant but as someone else pointed out this past week, a genetic shift occurring naturally ( and this is a new virus, not nipah/hendra from what I have read) at this point of war is really stretching. Time will tell. The good news is they have documented antibodies.

Hk 173 with 6 deaths,
Vietnam 62 with 2 deaths,
Singapore 34 with no deaths and
Canada 9 with 2 deaths
(the US might have more cases that Canada).

Worldwide 306 with 10 deaths.

Can't the deaths in Vietnam and Canada be connected back to people who travelled to HK?

The number change it depends on when and who collected them.

As far as I know they can all be traced back to HK and China.
