(Larry Romanoff) The Western media quickly took the stage and laid out the official narrative for the outbreak of the new coronavirus which appeared to have begun in China, claiming it to have originated with animals at a wet market in Wuhan.
Related COVID-19: How Does Coronavirus Compare to Other Outbreaks?
by Larry Romanoff, March 4th, 2020
In fact the origin was for a long time unknown but it appears likely now, according to Chinese and Japanese reports, that the virus originated elsewhere, from multiple locations, but began to spread widely only after being introduced to the market.
More to the point, it appears that the virus did not originate in China and, according to reports in Japanese and other media, may have originated in the US.
Chinese Researchers Conclude the Virus Originated Outside of China
After collecting samples of the genome in China, medical researchers first conclusively demonstrated that the virus did not originate at the seafood market but had multiple unidentified sources, after which it was exposed to the seafood market from where it spread everywhere. (1) (2) (3)
According to the Global Times:
A new study by Chinese researchers indicates the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.
The study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location(s), and then spread rapidly from the market due to the large number of close contacts.
The findings were the result of analyses of the genome data, sources of infection, and the route of spread of variations of the novel coronavirus collected throughout China.
The study believes that patient(s) zero transmitted the virus to workers or sellers at the Huanan seafood market, the crowded market easily facilitating further transmission of the virus to buyers, which caused a wider spread in early December 2019. (Global Times, February 22, 2020, emphasis added (2)
Chinese medical authorities – and “intelligence agencies” – then conducted a rapid and wide-ranging search for the origin of the virus, collecting nearly 100 samples of the genome from 12 different countries on 4 continents, identifying all the varieties and mutations.
During this research, they determined the virus outbreak had begun much earlier, probably in November, shortly after the Wuhan Military Games.
They then came to the same independent conclusions as the Japanese researchers – that the virus did not begin in China but was introduced there from the outside.
China’s top respiratory specialist Zhong Nanshan said on January 27:
“Though the COVID-19 was first discovered in China, it does not mean that it originated from China. But that is Chinese for “it originated someplace else, in another country”. (4)
This of course raises questions as to the actual location of origin. If the authorities pursued their analysis through 100 genome samples from 12 countries, they must have had a compelling reason to be searching for the original source outside China.
This would explain why there was such difficulty in locating and identifying a ‘patient zero’.
Japan’s Media: The Coronavirus May Have Originated in the US
In February of 2020, the Japanese Asahi news report (print and TV) claimed the coronavirus originated in the US, not in China, and that some (or many) of the 14,000 American deaths attributed to influenza may have in fact have resulted from the coronavirus. (5)
A report from a Japanese TV station disclosing a suspicion that some of those Americans may have unknowningly contracted the coronavirus has gone viral on Chinese social media, stoking fears and speculations in China that the novel coronavirus may have originated in the US.
The report, by TV Asahi Corporation of Japan, suggested that the US government may have failed to grasp how rampant the virus has gone on US soil.
However, it is unknown whether Americans who have already died of the influenza had contracted the coronavirus, as reported by TV Asahi. (People’s Daily, English, February 23, 2020, emphasis added)
On February 14, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said they will begin to test individuals with influenza-like-illness for the novel coronavirus at public health labs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City.
The TV Asahi network presented scientific documentation for their claims, raising the issue that no one would know the cause of death because the US either neglected to test or failed to release the results.
Japan avoided the questions of natural vs. man-made and accidental vs. deliberate, simply stating that the virus outbreak may first have occurred in the US. The Western Internet appears to have been scrubbed of this information, but the Chinese media still reference it.
These claims stirred up a hornet’s nest not only in Japan but in China, immediately going viral on Chinese social media, especially since the Military World Games were held in Wuhan in October, and it had already been widely discussed that the virus could have been transmitted at that time – from a foreign source.
“Perhaps the US delegates brought the coronavirus to Wuhan, and some mutation occurred to the virus, making it more deadly and contagious, and causing a widespread outbreak this year.” (People’s Daily, February 23, 2020) (1)
Shen Yi, an international relations professor at Shanghai’s Fudan University, stated that global virologists “including the intelligence agencies” were tracking the origin of the virus.

Also of interest, the Chinese government did not shut the door on this. The news report stated:
“Netizens are encouraged to actively partake in discussions, but preferably in a rational fashion.”
In China, that is meaningful. If the reports were rubbish, the government would clearly state that, and tell people to not spread false rumors.
Taiwan Virologist Suggests the Coronavirus Originated in the US
Then, Taiwan ran a TV news program on February,27,(click here to access video (Chinese), that presented diagrams and flow charts suggesting the coronavirus originated in the US. (6)
Below is a rough translation, summary and analysis of selected content of that newscast (see map below).
The man in the video is a top virologist and pharmacologist who performed a long and detailed search for the source of the virus.
He spends the first part of the video explaining the various haplotypes (varieties, if you will), and explains how they are related to each other, how one must have come before another, and how one type derived from another.
He explains this is merely elementary science and nothing to do with geopolitical issues, describing how, just as with numbers in order, 3 must always follow 2.
One of his main points is that the type infecting Taiwan exists only in Australia and the US and, since Taiwan was not infected by Australians, the infection in Taiwan could have come only from the US.
The basic logic is that the geographical location with the greatest diversity of virus strains must be the original source because a single strain cannot emerge from nothing.
He demonstrated that only the US has all the five known strains of the virus (while Wuhan and most of China have only one, as do Taiwan and South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, Singapore, and England, Belgium and Germany), constituting a thesis that the haplotypes in other nations may have originated in the US.
Korea and Taiwan have a different haplotype of the virus than China, perhaps more infective but much less deadly, which would account for a death rate only 1/3 that of China.
Neither Iran nor Italy were included in the above tests, but both countries have now deciphered the locally prevalent genome and have declared them of different varieties from those in China, which means they did not originate in China but were of necessity introduced from another source.
It is worth noting that the variety in Italy has approximately the same fatality rate as that of China, three times as great as other nations, while the haplotype in Iran appears to be the deadliest with a fatality rate of between 10% and 25%. (7) (8) (9)
Due to the enormous amount of Western media coverage focused on China, much of the world believes the coronavirus spread to all other nations from China, but this now appears to have been proven wrong.
With about 50 nations scattered throughout the world having identified at least one case at the time of writing, it would be very interesting to examine virus samples from each of those nations to determine their location of origin and the worldwide sources and patterns of spread.
The Virologist further stated that the US has recently had more than 200 “pulmonary fibrosis” cases that resulted in death due to patients’ inability to breathe, but whose conditions and symptoms could not be explained by pulmonary fibrosis.
He said he wrote articles informing the US health authorities to consider seriously those deaths as resulting from the coronavirus, but they responded by blaming the deaths on e-cigarettes, then silenced further discussion. …
The Taiwanese doctor then stated the virus outbreak began earlier than assumed, saying, “We must look to September of 2019”.
He stated the case in September of 2019 where some Japanese traveled to Hawaii and returned home infected, people who had never been to China.
This was two months prior to the infections in China and just after the CDC suddenly and totally shut down the Fort Detrick bio-weapons lab claiming the facilities were insufficient to prevent loss of pathogens. (10) (11)
He said he personally investigated those cases very carefully (as did the Japanese virologists who came to the same conclusion)… This might indicate the coronavirus had already spread in the US but where the symptoms were being officially attributed to other diseases, and thus possibly masked.
The prominent Chinese news website Huanqiu related one case in the US where a woman’s relative was told by physicians he died of the flu, but where the death certificate listed the coronavirus as the cause of death.
On February 26, ABC News affiliate KJCT8 News Network reported that a woman recently told the media that her sister died on from coronavirus infection.
Montrose, Colorado resident Almeta Stone said, “They (the medical staff) kept us informed that it was the flu, and when I got the death certificate, there was a coronavirus in the cause of death.” (12)
We cannot ascertain the number of such cases in the US but since the CDC apparently has no reliable test kits and is conducting little or no testing for the virus, there may be others.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

Larry Romanoff, the author of this piece, makes obvious errors. He lives in Shanghai and has taught at Fudan University, in Shanghai. It should be noted that no one lives in Shanghai and writes anything the CCP does not agree with. No one. If you think otherwise, research the CCP. Edge of Wonder guys are a good start.
Article Errors that I quickly found:
1. “Largest number of strains of COVID19 indicates origin”. False. Viruses mutate, often quickly. That is why flu vaccines work so poorly. By the time the vaccine is out, most of the versions it’s based off of have already mutated. So presence of many versions, in and of itself, is no evidence of origination. There are many, many factors that contribute to a virus mutating. That it mutates more in one region than another is indicative of the conditions locally being favorable for mutation. Time is certainly one factor, but it is by no means the only factor.
2. Corona Virus is a general class of viruses commonly referred to as the flu. That a death cert says corona virus actually says nothing other than that the person died of the flu.
That anyone would pretend to research this subject and not be capable of understanding (2) at least suggests gross incompetence or a paid shill. Given that this person writes english language articles essentially for the CCP strongly suggests that latter.
As to the origin, that’s quite another question. It’s not relevant to a discussion of managing the outbreak in general, but certainly interesting. When it comes to bioweapons, who can say where this was created, how it was transferred, and whom set it free to the public? Seems as though no expert has disagreed with speculation that this virus is a bioweapon. That shady happenings were going on between Harvard, Canada’s level 4 lab, and the level 4 Wuhan lab (see arrest of Harvard professor paid under table by CCP), suggests the real truth might be very difficult to find. I also find it interesting that Asians are 5 times more likely to contract the virus than whites or blacks, per initial research ( https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.26.919985v1.full ), and indeed might indicate intentional design, or just coincidental preference.
While one cannot, with evidence presented so far, rule out the possibility the virus was created elsewhere than the Wuhan lab, and the US cannot be eliminated from suspicion, Romanoff’s article suggests CCP complicity for patient zero in the open. Whatever the Deep State, (and CCP is most definitely DS) says, you can trust the opposite is true. If CCP is trying to shift blame, that suggests they are attempting to shift blame *because* they actually released it themselves onto their own population. Given that: DS believes in pop control; that the economy in Wuhan, a manufacturing center of China, was tanking; that Wuhan has a high death rate due to no emissions controls and horrible resulting pollution; that strangely enough Beijing seems to be untouched; that there was a rising tide of sympathy in Wuhan for Hong Kong protestors; that CCP-influenced/funded US media are all of a sudden crying “racism” for calling it by it’s origination point like all other major diseases have been; might there have been a multiplicity of reasons for CCP deciding to attack their own people?
As always, your best bet for truth is to find out what the DS wants you to believe. Start there, as you can be absolutely sure that is what you can rule out in the quest for truth.

According to scientific reports the coronavirus probably was released from Fort Dietrich, Maryland by the CIA. Apparently they claimed it escaped from their lab and infected people. They covered it up (so the story goes) with the vape sickness and used the MSM to blame China. However, the fact the US has the most strains (5 at least) suggests it came from the USA.
There are also claims that it is 5G that’s killing people and not the virus because in China and Italy where more people have died 5G was being tested and 5G is known to give people flu-like symptoms before it kills them. It may be that the coronavirus is a 5G virus that can be weaponized with 5G technology.
Don’t worry guys some one from the deep state will come out and tell us exactly what happened and exactly what they have to do to us to fix it all and then football will be back. We might even get cheaper beer if we are really good.
