    Wouldn’t be the first time the US government has blamed the local emergence of a new disease on another country because that country was the first to report on it. “Spanish” Flu much?

    First there was no disease, then it’s not human transmissible. Next it came from Italy, followed by coming from American whitetail deer, then United States military bases, then… etc.

    Their story changes just about every other minute. It’s about as consistent as my sleep schedule.
