"I scrambled up to the crest of Primrose Hill, the Martians camp was below me. A mighty sight it was, and scattered about it, in their overturned machines, were the Martians, slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest creatures on the earth: bacteria. Minute, invisible, bacteria.Directly the Invaders arrived and drank and fed, our microscopic allies attacked them. From that moment - they were doomed!"The conclusion to be drawn is that the Chinese had advance warning of the alien invasion, and developed Covid-19 as a way of killing off the aliens - unfortunately it managed to escape and wreak havoc among humans, but it is still there, ready and primed to deal with the aliens when they arrive.
