A britbong already got infected so the ACE-2 theory is no more valid or it was but the Virus mutated again but this time infecting other races, if fungal, this spreads quickly but easily mitigated, if bacterial-viral this gets treated with basic anti-biotics although might've been a superbug or resistant (thick skinned virus).
China is doing great mitigating stuff (spraying stuff all over the city) but its just selective journalism that gets treated very well (like those wechat niggers posting videos of how 'corrupt' the system is /hospital/house jailing).
The only problem here is firstly the virus itself and how WHO seems to just yawn and lol at it because le china lmao.
This is your world run by psychopathic pedophiles. Who knows, it might be the end times, all be purged again in the great extinction which happens every 2160 years (mind you BC is not accurate) but it's not this virus that causes the end. It's the flashes.
