I started writing this post at the beginning of covid, it didn’t relay what I wanted to say so I relegated to the back of the draft file. Then, I picked this post up towards the end of 2022, so plenty had changed and I had a different perspective. I was pretty critical of the Chinese government and their inability to contain the virus within the borders of mainland China.

So, this is where we find ourselves, the pandemic is over and we have returned to our normal lives. There are no longer covid restrictions, we are living our lives as we did before. So what did we learn? Well, we should have learnt what jobs are critical to an economy, the Prime Minister Scott Morrison put it succinctly “If you stiĺl have a job, then you are a critical worker.”

What we do know is covid-19 originated from China, despite the best efforts of the wuamo, they were unable to grain any real traction in blaming Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom or indeed the US armed forces.what we all know is the corona virus exploded in the Wuhan wet markets before spreading through all of China and then the world.

This is where I am critical of the CCP, they allowed the mass movement of their citizens around the world during Chinese new year. Had the CCP curtailed travel, the corona virus would have remained a Chinese issue, this is not what the CCP wanted. The CCP were too slow to act, despite warnings of medical professionals in the city of Wuhan who tried to warn the population, corrupt party officials shut down dissent.

What is likely to be a more sinister motive, the CCP were happy to release the corona virus to the world so they could not only deflect blame from their shortcomings, they could unleash their wuamo on various social media platforms to plant dissent on conspiracy theory websites to create confusion and deflect blame.
