Going to disagree with that. This is a serious threat. The disease causes a flood of patients that can easily overwhelm the capacity of hospitals and is easily infectious enough to readily infect hospital staff and require them to be taken out to avoid infecting others. This means that you’re losing the capacity to deal with all the other medical emergencies that happen regularly and that means lives that wouldn’t have died will die from this disease.

The worldwide outbreak of COVID19 shouldn't be simply attribute to China.The First outbreak center ,WuHan,has been sealed from Jan.23.Every citizen are prohibited to go outside and their living nessarities are provided by the government and volunteers.WuHan actually has a population of around 14 millions of people,so the action of locking down is a very risky move and it did create much casualties on economic but controls the situation .
Now there are only 4k people in China were infected ,yet in America and Europe,the number of patients and deaths are quickly increasing.Maybe some people will say Chinese government has falsified the data,but according to what I have seen in Guangdong province of China,the epidemic situation has been controlled effectively and the price of face mask has dropped to around 0.15 USD for one.The war between mankind and COVID19 needs the cooperation of different countries and races.

My issues with China was that they created the conditions for this to migrate from their original host animal to humans through their exotic animal markets due to having a rather strong cultural belief that eating exotic animals gives you "strength" or other attributes related to what you eat. This is of course due to the beliefs of the mysticism of their traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). Furthermore the government will not have learned their lesson on this, because they're tying in on TCMs as a part of approved traditional Chinese culture and that being pro-TCM means being pro-China. They're "crack-downing" on these markets for food, but they'll just leave the door wide open for these same markets for their medicines. Which is a growing business in China and something that their government has been heavily trying to push into other countries. Even being a major part of their "Belt and Road" initiative. In fact their government is using COVID-19 to be able to make further claims that TCMs work and mandated that TCMs had to be made a part of the treatment nationally for COVID-19, which in turn they're now using to push out "studies" that "prove" TCMs work.

Furthermore China manufactured something like 80% of the masks worldwide, and who knows what percentage of the ventilators. It's easy to make readily available the equipment and lower the prices when you're making probably most of the world's supply of these devices. It was smart on them to lock the exports of these things for their own use, but I find it rather insulting when people think there is any "good will" when China "donates" supplies to other countries to fight COVID-19. It's easy to donate supplies when you control the market on those supplies, and it's very easy to be out and low on those supplies when you gave up your production base to China to save on costs.

The current outbreak is just the latest in the Chinese gov't bungled handling of epidemics. Meanwhile, their mouthpieces are blaming the virus spread on Italy and the United States. It doesn't need to be referred to as a "Chinese virus", but the PRC is trying to deceive the public about the virus origins, and generally shift blame away.

The point is, I believe, is that people don't want the China connection to be forgotten due to criticism on how their government handled the initial outbreak (especially since it required a whistle-blower for the virus to even be known to the world in the first place).

Why they insist on being dumbasses and calling it the Chinese virus when it's clear as day it is no longer contained to the country is beyond me.

Because China is where it first became known, which is how pandemics are often named outside technical circles. An easy example being the Spanish Flu and its arctic mutant derivative, the Alaskan Black Death.
The Spanish Flu was (and is) referred to as such because Neutral Spain was where a majority of the information about the H1N1 Flu came from, given WW1 and all, even though the first recorded case was in Kansas, USA and the hardest hit area was India.
The Alaskan Black Death is referred to as such because the Nome Serum Run, even though it also spread through Russia, Canada, the north-west US, and even Japan's northern territory. More people died in Russia from it than Alaska.
The names have nothing to do with being the origin, the epicenter, nor even where a majority of people died from/were affected by it, it has everything to do with people's information flow.
Stupid? Not really. Dumbass? Again, not really. It's just people being heartless, and frankly 'heartless' is a very apt descriptor for humanity as a whole.

Never, ever underestimate how stupid people can be. I have seen a number of dumbass shit spread about the novel corona virus. Why they insist on being dumbasses and calling it the Chinese virus when it's clear as day it is no longer contained to the country is beyond me.

On that note, Italy has surpassed China in deaths from the virus.

No one is obscuring anything, the new epicenter is Europe. This virus has wound-down in China, so its a moot point.

I think it would be hard to list the US as an epicenter due to the lack of testing. Most of the issue here is the federal government not being prepared leading to a shock across the medical spectrum. Trump maintains everything's fine while hospitals run out of supplies. One of his supporters tweets about going to Robin's and how everything's fine.

Looks like Corona-chan went down there after all.

It's not her fault. As powerful as she is, and she's damn well powerful, a good chunk of the cast have moved mountains and killed gods. So in their eyes she's just an adorable little rugrat.

Around 15% of the common cold is caused by a coronavirus. Pretty sure everyone has been infected at least once by a coronavirus, which is just simply a name for the group of viruses due to their characteristic "corona" (crown) appearance under the electron microscope. The specific one causing problems now is SARS-CoV-2.
