The first case of [[COVID-19]] was medically verified in China on December 8, 2019 and first death occurred on December 9. The doctor who reported on the first verified cases posted on [[social media]] was forced to plead guilty to "rumormongering" and disrupting social order in late December 2019. The Beijing central government attempted to hide the outbreak from the people of [[Wuhan]] and the world. The [[Chinese Communist Party]] finally admitted publicly that a full blown [[pandemic]] was occurring in Wuhan on January 23, 2020. The doctor who first warned the public was convicted of a crime for doing so, died on February 4, 2020. Eight hundred million people expressed their condolences on Chinese social media in 24 hours after his death was announced.

To save face for the Communist regime's deliberately incompetent handling of the COVID-19 outbreak in their country, the Chinese foreign ministry falsely accused the [[United States]] of being responsible for the corona virus outbreak.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg7FwHteB0I</ref>  On March 12, 2020 the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman initiated a [[conspiracy theory]] that the US military started the [[coronavirus]] in China,<ref> https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1238150527751319575</ref><ref>https://news.trust.org/item/20200312152307-rlv7m</ref>  Leftist media in the United States aided Chinese propaganda efforts by calling those who link the virus' origin to China were it originated as "[[racist]]s".<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/03/13/dems-media-warned-new-narrative-aids-chinas-new-conspiracy-us-military-started-covid-19-896694</ref><ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/03/15/nbc-news-ny-times-running-chinese-propaganda-criticizing-us-erick-erickson-points-out-897729</ref>

The pandemic spread as a result of human-to-human transmission beginning in [[Wuhan]]. As it metastasized, the World Health Organization (WHO) parroted the Chinese Communist Party line that the [[Wuhan virus]] could not be passed from one human to another, and that it was “[[racist]]” to refer to the virus by its place of origin.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/26/5-major-paradigm-shifts-the-wuhan-flu-crisis-has-revealed-americans-need/</ref>
