Since I posted this yesterday one thing has been bugging me. If my theory is true and Corona spread to Italy via Wenzhou (not Wuhan), then how do the large number of cases in Iran figure into all this? Then I realised...https://twitter.com/moldbugman/status/1231981478138925058 …

I used to live in Zhejiang province where Wenzhou is located and I thought back to when I met Persians or Arabs. In every single case they were doing business in Yiwu - a town just 157 km from Wenzhou.pic.twitter.com/y7KQzS8eN5

Yiwu is the world’s largest wholesale market and caters more towards Middle Eastern traders rather than the West. There are about 4,000 traders from North Africa and the Middle East who have settled down in Yiwu alone.https://www.thechinastory.org/yearbooks/yearbook-2017/forum-all-i-have-to-do-is-dream/the-chinese-dreams-of-arabian-traders-in-yiwu/ …

The Yiwu-Tehran train is a key part of Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative and Beijing’s plans for regional integration.

Keep watching Wenzhou. If my theory is correct (which I am not saying it is, it’s just my pet theory) then France will be the next major outbreak centre.

Factories in Wenzhou are back open. I think your theories are on point, but what's the point of keep watching Wenzhou? I think the Chinese data is fake and they're just going to accept this virus.
