Coronavirus
Daly cases outside China [1]; approximations from 2020.03.12
The optimistic forecasts happen to be far from the reality
Coronavirus коронавирус is disease reported to spread since year 2019, mainly in China. At the beginning of year 2020, the special names are used for the virus that causes speeding epidemic disease: covid19 (Cocid-19) [2][3] and 2019-nCoV [4][5][6]. These two names seem to denote the same.
Warning. The main goals of this article is analysis of spreading of information about Coronavirus and, especially, 2019-nCoV: identification, classification, qualification of sources of the information.
For information about the disease and is spreading, the cited literature should be used rather than this article.
General
The danger of pandemic is announced at least since year 2015 [7]
The cause or Coronavirus epidemic is believed to have virus origin (and form second part of the name).
The World Health Organization suggests [8] the description below:
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
The incubation period of the new (2020) coronavirus is believed to be about 10 days, with the shortest being one day and the longest 14 days. [9]. Up to 2020.01.26, yet, no vaccine against coronavirus is reported.
The general trend is almost exponential; attempts to fit it with various bells, at least until 2020.03.15, fail. Until 2020.03.15, the number of daily new case registered outside of China, roughly, doubles every 4 days.
Spread
Look from 2020 January
2020.02.27, the New York Times suggests the map of the spreading of the decease for 2020.02.26, shown in first figure. [10]. Of order of 3000 people are believed to be infected, mainly in China.
The total tall for 2020.01.26 is estimated to be 80 people. [11]
2020.01.28, the first human-to-human case in Europe is reported. [12]
However, the reports about coronavirus contradict each other; one example of such a contradiction is shown in the first figure. Comparison of data for 2020.01.26 by NYT [10] to those for 2020.02.03 by rbc [13] indicates, that in during a week, in China, the amount of infected patients reduced from more than 27000 to 17205, id est, roughly, 10^4/week. The primitive extrapolation indicates, that to March, the epidemic should finish, at least in China.
Bioweapon
Alarmistic publications about the coronavirus are observed in 2020. Among them, the hypothesis is suggested that the Coronavirus (actially, the 2019-nCoV) is kind of biological weapon [14][15][16][17].
The infection is supposed to be in favor of the Russian administration, that is qualified as beneficiant.
[18].
At least since century 19, the top of the Russian administration is believed to consider themselves as "Russia" (excluding from this therm the most of population)
[19].
2020.01.24, The Guardian indicates that in 16 weeks, drugs against the new modification of the coronavirus may enter the testing stage [20].
2020.01.27, Онищенко Геннадий Григорьевич (Russia) declares, that there already exist of order of 30 drugs against the new Coroavirus [21].
Doing in 3 days of works, declared to require 16 weeks looks fantastic. However, the secret drugs against the biological weapon could be created in the USSR or in post-Soviet Russia together with elaboration of the dangerous virus.
Several authors indicate, that the coronavirus is not a human-developed weapon because it (perhaps, namely 2019-nCoV) is found in the bat population [22][23][24]
2020.02.01, halturnerradioshow indicates, that, contrary, the bat-odigin virus could be adopted to affect humans only in a military laboratory. [25]
Fiction
World-side spreading of decease that is dangerous for existing of human civilization is used as subject of art.
1910, Jack London describes the attack on China with biologic weapon in novel The Unparalleled Invasion. [26][27]
Video Prazdnik
Soviet researcher "Voskresenski" (Воскресенский), who developes the biologic weapon during World War II is described in video Праздник (2019, In Russian) [28]
Apparently, the movie refers to the biggest biologic institute in Peterburg, Нииочб (Институт особо чистых биологических препаратов).
In year 2019, the Russian administration prohibits demonstration of that movie in movie theaters. Such a censorship indicates, that the staff of Нииочб still continue to work on bioweapon, and the Russian authorities try to hide this idea from the public.
2020 February, this hypothesis gets an additional verification. At the server of Нииочб, the sites about scientific research and sites about staff who perform the research become unreachable.
This can be interpreted as indication, that the big goal is achieved, and the persons who had worked on it are "eliminated" (killed or jailed) in order to avoid spreading of information about research performed in Нииочбп.
Such a hypothesis can be checked (verified or rejected). Within this hypothesis, it is expected, the researchers from at least one of laboratories of Нииочбп, will never more appear in program a program of any international conference. Within this hypothesis, one may expect, no staff of Нииочбп, mentioned at their site in 2019, will appear at any international meeting on virology since year 2020.
Russian mission in Italy
March 25, the news appear, that the Italian government allow the Russian military troops to handle the coronavirus cases at Italy. Initially, the goals were declared to be a fight against virus; but the activity of the Russian troops do not match the goals declared [29]
The Russian mission into Itay is considered as a way fo flood the country with Russian militaries. [30]

Any fight against the desease (or against "bad people" who make business on this decease) is not an element of set of these goals.

We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019- nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV-1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/ COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS / CASES There are currently 95,500 confirmed cases and 3,286 deaths from the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak as of March 05, 2020, 07:35 GMT.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals, including humans, and birds. In humans, the virus causes respiratory infections which are typically mild but, in rare cases, can be lethal. In cows and pigs they may cause diarrhea, while in chickens it can cause an upper respiratory disease. There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment.// Coronaviruses are viruses in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, in the order Nidovirales.[4][5] Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and with a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genomic size of coronaviruses ranges from approximately 26 to 32 kilobases, the largest for an RNA virus.// The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona and the Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, "garland, wreath"), meaning crown or halo. This refers to the characteristic appearance of virions (the infective form of the virus) by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a royal crown or of the solar corona. This morphology is created by the viral spike (S) peplomers, which are proteins that populate the surface of the virus and determine host tropism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Wuhan_coronavirus_outbreak A new coronavirus, designated 2019-nCoV,[31] was identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, after people developed pneumonia without a clear cause and for which existing vaccines or treatments were not effective. The virus has shown evidence of human-to-human transmission and its transmission rate (rate of infection)[32] appeared to escalate in mid-January 2020,[33] with several countries other than China reporting cases. The incubation period (time from exposure to developing symptoms) of the virus is between 2 to 14 days and it remains contagious during this time.[34][35] Symptoms include fever, coughing and breathing difficulties and it can be fatal.[36] ..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_biological_weapons_program The Soviet Union began a biological weapons program in the 1920s. During World War II, Joseph Stalin was forced to move his biological warfare (BW) operations out of the path of advancing German forces and may have used tularemia against German troops in 1942 near Stalingrad. ..
