If you see which parts of America have been most affected by the pandemic, it's the coastal cities on both sides. Lots of Tiongs (especially mistresses and illegitimate children of CCP officials, and various pro-China lobbyists).
It was a similar situation in Italy. The first outbreak happened in Milan and northern Italy, where there were plenty of Tiongs. They went back after their CNY holidays, and all hell broke loose.
Sinkieland... one of the first discovered cases was a couple from Wuhan who went to church and infected a large group of people there. LOL.
