Well thats not true though you see.
Why is Brazil, Russia etc so high they aren't fat exactly. All the European countries pretty much every country in the world but those that actually kept track had way worse numbers.
Look at Russia compared to Japan, same population but on a tiny little island vs spread out huge land. The tiny island did 10 times better.
Think about what you are saying you are missing a few things.
1. Remember they blocked internal travel of Wuhan and completely shut down the city then had flights going in and our of Italy still, 1 of the fattest / oldest countries in the world.
2. If it is like a cold to your population and only a small small percentage of unhealthy / elderly people that probably would die anyways will die (this would actually help your economy), and it would likely be spread to your country anyways why would it matter if it started there or not? Also another reason would be containment it would be easier to contain and design its spread if you know where it was going to be released (what if they locked down Wuhan then released it with infected flying out all over the world first?). It could have leaked and they just took advantage of it though but still could have been a bio weapon designed not to effect them as much. The timing of it is odd, they did it while we were completely distracted and right before the next election and Trump gets replaced with a guy they literally paid money to, they also pumped Bloomberg a ton which they own him too.
Also if you remember Feinstein was the 1 calling for a trial, Pelosi was satisfied with just impeaching him and giving him a scarlet letter, she didn't want it to go to trial, Feinstein who was known for being braindead and having Chinese spies work for her was the 1 senator pushing for the trial publicly. Right when the virus was spreading, weird timing.
"Senator Dianne Feinstein did urge Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial in early 2020. Feinstein expressed that if the impeachment was serious and urgent, the articles should be sent over. However, she later clarified that her comments were misunderstood and emphasized that it was Pelosi's decision to make"
3. Remember all the propaganda fake videos coming out of China of people falling down in the streets, people being welded shut in their buildings. Who would record someone being welded shut in their apartment then leak it, they would be afraid to, when were people falling down in the streets like out of a zombie movie?
4. The goal was to get us to mimic them, if the virus was released in the USA first we probably never would have locked down, Fauci literally said the lockdown idea came from China cause they were able to stop the virus doing it but here it didn't quite work because people like their freedom and some other nonsense like that.
5. How the hell did they reopen like the virus never existed 2 weeks after we locked down, then their other lockdowns like 2 years later were all in the tech heavy areas with Apple and Tesla while we were in the middle of an inflation/shortage crisis. The other reason they might have locked down then is maybe they weren't as immune to omicron as they were the original designed variant. Also when the alpha/delta variants existed these numbers were way worse for the rest of the world.
6. My wifes parents live in Nanning and the virus somehow never even got there basically, they did lockdown some when that initial lockdown happened like the first month but thats cause the whole country did to get us to copy it, its like the virus never existed there other than on TV. Nanning is about the size of LA/NYC btw.
7. China keeps collecting DNA of the world why did they do that? They did it before the pandemic and after.
