I wouldn't take that pic serious. Take the Spanish flu as example. There are different theories where it originated but whoever made that pic did obvioudly choose "it came from China". I guess it's the same with some other ones.

Originated in. Not first recorded in. The evidence points to China and same for Swine Flu but the China propaganda machine managed to, at the very least put the latters origin somehow up in the air. 

Fuck China. I'll not be a China apologist for this when the downplayed and so fucking obviously lied and STILL continue to lie now calling it an American outbreak. Fuck them. The CCP deserve nothing less than being taken out of power by their people. 

I think you are blaming China unreasonably here. Your bias is a showing a little as well. When the American president calls it the Chinese virus, you can't really ,ale any claims about propaganda with a straight face unless you are neutral and not allied with or fighting against either. China didn't do the best job in stopping the virus but then again, China isn't to blame for the worst hit regions outside chins like US and Italy. Those countries weren't taking it seriously and the blame lies on them, not Chian for that. South Korea, Singapore and other regions handled it much better and the credit goes to the, as well. Anyone not taking this pandemic seriously is to blame. It doesn't really matter where it originated that much. It only matters who contained it and who didn't and when can a vaccine be made.
