How China spread the Coronavirus to the US

NY Times:

430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced

There were 1,300 direct flights to 17 cities before President Trump’s travel restrictions. Since then, nearly 40,000 Americans and other authorized travelers have made the trip, some this past week and many with spotty screening.

This is why it was a real problem that China did not disclose what it knew about the virus and the same goes for the World Health Organization that said it was not passed by the human to human contact.

Rush Limbaugh points out the spread coincided with the Chinese New Year which occasions huge travel to and from China.

...
Now, one of the factors that I have not seen mentioned in any recent attempts to explain the worldwide spread of this virus is the Chinese new year. It’s the largest human migration on the planet, people coming and going from China. It’s a 40-day period. The Chinese people from all over the world head home to celebrate the lunar new year spring festival, and then they go back. It’s January 10th to February 18th, right at the height of the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan.
...

Now we move forward 10 days, January 20th, 2020, the Washington Post, of all places. Headline: “China virus: Expert says it can be spread by human-to-human contact, sparking concerns about the massive holiday travel underway.” This is one of the very few mentions that I could find of any connection between the 40-day Chinese lunar new year and the coronavirus.

Now, the article in the Washington Post notes that the Chinese finally admitted that coronavirus can transmit between humans more than a month after the first case. Even so, the ChiComs did nothing to seal their internal or external borders, even though they were being flooded with three billion travelers. Now, remember, many of those leave. These are people that return to China from all over the world, including United States, for the lunar new year holiday, and then after the 10 day, 40-day period, whatever, they return to wherever they arrived to China from. And so the Washington Post story says, “Expert says it can be spread by human-to-human contact, sparking concerns about the massive holiday travel underway.”...

The timing could not have been worse for spreading this disease if it were planned.
