[edited] No, not an imminent attack by China - they've been doing that for decades! No, just presuming an economic onslaught from the Eastern hemisphere soon: another good graphic at The Visual Capitalist. Below it is clipped but the link has the full graphic and explanations of each quadrant and specific details. All of the countries in 80%-plus portion the high-mobility, high-recovery section - apart from Israel - are Far East/Australasia, logical in a way I guess with the westward global spread timeline. Worth noting that there will definitely be a 'lag' in the data so UK and Netherlands for instance are well behind when in reality as of this week much is opened/opening up. The numbers and data used obviously rely on the national governments for recovery rate calculations etc.
"COVID-19 has brought the world to a halt—but after months of uncertainty, it seems that the situation is slowly taking a turn for the better."... "Today's chart measures... two metrics for each country: the mobility rate and the COVID-19 recovery rate:
Mobility Index: change in activity around workplaces, subtracting activity around residences, measured as a percentage deviation from the baseline.
COVID-19 Recovery Rate: number of recovered cases in a country is measured as the percentage of total cases"

Excerpts from the report of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes intelligence agencies from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, were published by The Australian Telegraph in early May. As the newspaper wrote, the subject of the investigation of international special services was a new bat virus, which was studied in a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
There is not the slightest evidence that the coronavirus was created artificially or spread by someone else’s malice. Such crazy ideas are similar to those used by conspiracy theorists who claim that this is how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread around the world in the 1980s.
Sorry Roger, only seeing this comment today! (not used to comments around here any more hehehe).
I thought they assumed it was an accident. They were definitely working on several coronaviruses
Three years on...not so crazy now?
