Did the Coronavirus spread as a result of the Chinese traveling the world, or did it just happen to travel on its own?

chinese traveling from one country to another, people visiting China. The virus is transmitted through droplets and is not an air born disease.

Lots of people visiting China who panicked and returned home during the outbreak brought it back to their respective countries.

it only takes one infected person to infect a multitude of others. whether it was Chinese person travelling or a Italian on holiday in china , it really doesn't matter in the end, the harm was done

The first case in the state of Washington was confirmed to be a person who had returned to Seattle from Wuhan. The virus spread undetected to an unknown number of people, many of whom took it elsewhere in the US.

Some got out of China with Chinese carriers, but it spread just as much from business travelers from many countries going to China on business.

Non-Chinese also visit China and bring back infectious "souvenirs."
