Closer to 8 weeks. We know with almost 100% certainty that is the case:

Boy was I wrong. Can anyone tell me if they have ever experience a moment in their life where so many countries took such drastics measures ever?
I've never heard of multi-country lockdowns in history.

It's possible, but that would be pretty fast spread. The virus mostly likely jumped from animal to human in the third week of November.

Corrected, not confirmed in US since November, but possibly. But likely patient Zero was in November

LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- Counterfeit coronavirus test kits were intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers when they arrived at the LAX International Mail Facility, authorities said Saturday.
"On March 12, 2020, CBP officers discovered six plastic bags containing various vials, while conducting an enforcement examination of a parcel manifested as `Purified Water Vials` with a declared value of $196.81," CPB spokesman Jaime Ruiz said Saturday. "A complete examination of the shipment led to the finding of vials filled with a white liquid and labeled 'Corona Virus 2019nconv (COVID-19)' and 'Virus1 Test Kit'." https://fox5sandiego.com/news/coronavirus/fake-coronavirus-test-kits-seized-at-lax/

If you look at the actual tweet Zhao Lijian wrote, I don't think he was really accusing the US army of doing that at all.
He was mocking the initial US reaction to the Chinese coronavirus response.
When this started, the US was demanding answers asking, "how could this happen?" "who is patient zero? "was this released by the chinese military?"
So, now that the US is bungling our response, he was turning those questions back on the US mockingly—not actually accusing the US army of releasing the virus, as all the clickbait articles are trying to imply
Or at least that's what it seemed like to me...

The media has such a deep impact on society and its behavior that it has to be held accountable for its content now. It's disgusting.
Although I was ready to go ''China is asshoe'' when I saw the clickbait articles of China blaming USA, but @waves's proposition is more elegant.
@asante Do you know about Occam's razor? Reading some of your posts, it reminds me of when I thought the google AI was trying to steal my identity through my phone as we were reaching the Singularity. That was a side-effect of 3-MeO-PCP and no one could convince me at that time that it was. I was dead ass certain we were fucked. What's up with this writing, man? Is it serious? Just for shits and giggles, if anything, take a seroquel or an antipsychotic. If you don't see change, you're good. But, maybe you'll see things a bit more clearly and less dramatic. It doesn't cost much to try. I don't know, I can't help but feel worried when I read your weird ass wall posts.

Cash money in China is almost a thing of the past. Everything is by app and e-transfer in China. Even like little stall vendors. You can't take transit without a smart phone. It's how the government tracks you.

people are retarded I'm at work and nobody is even attempting to practice social distancing, everyone is rubbing their face, leaning into talk to me. I want to tell these people to get the hell out of my bubble but I'm at work.
We dont stand a chance at limiting the spread in the west. I assumed people would be able to use common sense to limit transmition when a pandemic was declared but it seems everyone is trying their best to spread as much disease around as possible.

Sad truth is that people are generally dumb animals. Now they are in panic. How disgusting is it that it takes an epidemic to make them consider washing their hands?

Italy slowed the rate of exponential growth for a while. The US is still seeing perfect unchecked exponential grown
(This is a logarithmic chart. Straight lines mean perfect exponential expansion. Curved lines mean rate is slowing or increasing. Steeper lines mean shorter case doubling times.)

Correlative to the amount of actual cases, or correlative to the amount that could be verified due to inability to test?

This is unknown. We don’t have any data on how much the virus has penetrated the population. The government isn’t saying howmany tests are done. As we get further in we won’t evem be able to know For sure that people died from covid.
I don’t think the testing situation has radically changed in the US. We only test extremely ill or people with known contacts. There are hundreds of people who test negative for common known viruses. They still don’t get tested for covid because we are rationing tests
