The CDC has been monitoring the coronavirus in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China since August of 2019. The virus did not make the news until December of 2019.
The virus causes respiratory illness. Virus can only live outside of the body anywhere from seconds to 48 hours.
So why are Chinese spraying their cities with some currently unknown chemical, though it is suspected to be bleach. Check out the videos, I see no smooth surfaces anywhere, so what is the point?
Thoughts?

No intel, but I questioned from the early days of this outbreak why people were being told to eat indoors only, and why disinfectant was being sprayed everywhere. That's when I learned that hantavirus has long been a problem in Wuhan and Hubei. Nowadays, people are vaccinated against it. Housing conditions in Hubei have improved, but not for everyone. There are still occasional cases of hantavirus in Hubei, and the area is ideal for its spread -- marshy, lots of bodies of water, etc. It is endemic.
Why the elderly? Who gets the hantavirus vaccine?
Look to the problem of treatment-resistant TB as to the living conditions for many elderly in Wuhan and the countryside of Hubei. The inferior, overcrowded, unhygienic living conditions that contribute to the spread of TB are also ideal for mice and rats, which carry hantavirus.
I'd really like to know how many of the coronavirus desths occurred in people with these two conditions, buts the thought that multiple viruses and infections circulating at the sane time is a matter of grave concern.
Of course the spraying could be due to spitting, public urination and defecation, people dying in the streets or sonething else, but I think it is something more, something that is everywhere. Rodents, pigeons? I don't know.
