Actually, the whole of East Asia is convinced that it did start in the US, because US tourists were among the first detected cases in all Asian countries, and were the furthest along.
Mind you, spotting a new flu-like illness during flu season is akin to the haystack/needle thing, so it's only vaguely short of miraculous that Chinese doctors spotted it within a couple of weeks.

Here there is a new conspiracy-theory... it seems that there is some kind of "bio-research lab" in the near of Wuhan that many fingers are pointing as ground zero
EDIT: I just googled... as it seems there are more than one biotech companies over there

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Yup!
Never ignore a good conspiracy or hate theory!
They're always more fun than boring, mundane ol' reality.
The reality here is that a disease mutated, someone caught it, and it spread -- but where's the fun in that?
The only people who should care about where it mutated are the people who need to find out if the place where it started is likely to give rise to more nasty mutations.

If it was the case that it started in the US would that not imply that there would be evidence of infected US citizens that show they had it before the first case appeared in other countries? Unless perhaps the tourists created it to fill the boredom on the flight over...
Although I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the US would cover up any evidence that proved they started it, so who knows.

That's the problem, and it makes this conspiracy theory more believable than most.
AFAIK, no government official, from any of the East Asian nations, has made such a statement, so it's just more twitter fodder.

Why? It's OK for the australian convict to be rude but not the nice American? You are racist.

Jovially throwing in "bloody Americans" is not, by any means, on the same level as personal abusing another CP member.

But why wasn't the response jovial as well? It's all in how you read it. I thought the response was funny and didn't take it as a direct abuse of the member.

I have a Logitech wireless keyboard (K800) and mouse (M310). Recently I have experienced the loss of the settings for the K800 (specifically the disabling of both Caps-Lock and Ins keys). In desperation (after searching the Internet), I called Logitech Customer Support. After a fairly long conversation (1+ hours), I uninstalled all Logitech products and downloaded the latest version of Logitech Options. As an administrator I set the Caps-Lock and Ins keys disabled, and restarted the machine as a standard user. All worked as expected.
What went wrong? I was advised that Logitech updated the firmware for the K800 and M310 devices. Then, wholly separately, they made available an updated Logitech Options version (8.10.154). I was unaware of the firmware update and, because I use Windows 7, I was not advised through Windows Update. I was also advised that settings should be made from an administrator account.
I am disappointed in Logitech. They created turmoil for users of their wireless products. I suggested a solution to the CSR that I doubt will get to the developers. Too bad - I like the wireless keyboard and mouse.

I don't get it. How can not installing an update (AKA "not making changes") make something stop working?

If a firmware update is independent of a software update, the problem may occur. Generally between the time that the firmware is updated automatically and the time that the software is manually updated. In the case of Logitech, the firmware controls the actual devices and the software (Logitech Options) is the windows application that allows its users to communicate with the devices. So, if the two (software and firmware) get out of sync, difficulties can arise.
What is worse in this case is that the Win 7 user is unaware of the firmware update and does not know of the need to update the application software. Logitech should have been aware of the still-large number of Win 7 installations. Further, they should have been aware that Windows Updates is no longer applicable to Win 7. Their firmware design should have included a notification that a software update was required.
