Another person dies from coronavirus in Oregon, 76 new cases reported

 

Fairly sure the vaccine for COVID-19 is tiger blood.

All the signs were there. Tiger King, etc, etc, etc.

 

Honestly my daily life has barely changed. I thankfully still have my job which (due to it being essential) I am required to attend. Public transport is less busy, and my weekly after work drinks with my mates is now via video chat instead of at a bar, they’re about the only differences.

Vanquish the Virus? Australia and New Zealand Aim to Show the Way

 

Trump and his goon task force must be on a whole other down level.

 

My mayor is opening phase 1.

 

Lancaster is pretty lucky that no one outside of Lancaster would ever step foot within the city limits!

 

Ouch!

 

He ain’t lying FAMS!

 

Are you saying we will now be hearing sly speak in cat?

UK Government removes China from its official coronavirus death toll comparison list

has removed from the list of other countries it uses to compare the spread of the coronavirus - in a snub to Beijing amid widespread anger at the nation's apparent cover-up of the seriousness of its coronavirus outbreak.

It is another diplomatic attack on China in the wake of Donald Trump's accusations that the World Health Organisation (WHO) colluded with Beijing to downplay its coronavirus outbreak, and global disbelief over China's claim to have only 4,636 dead from the virus.

The people of Wuhan believe the death toll in their city that was the epicentre of the outbreak is 42,000 - not the 3,182 claimed by China.

In America, the Trump administration is ramping up its attacks on Beijing - blaming President Xi's government for letting COVID-19 spread across the globe unchecked while the Communist regime saved face.

Trump is backed by large numbers of Republican politicians amid claims from the US intelligence community that the virus escaped from a lab near Wuhan in an accident involving an intern.

Trump has suspended $500million in US funding for the WHO after claiming it had 'accelerated' the deadly contagion because chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus initially swallowed China's claims that coronavirus was not transmissible between humans.

There is also global outrage at Chinese officials for waiting six days to warn the public after becoming aware that a viral outbreak was causing a rash of deadly pneumonia cases in Wuhan.

While Beijing waited, residents in Wuhan hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people, and millions began traveling for Lunar New Year celebrations.

How China 'covered up' coronavirus outbreak
Lab Accident?

US intelligence sources have claimed to media that corona virus escaped from a lab in Wuhan. They say an intern at the lab was infected in an accident, which she then covered up before infecting her boyfriend.

Chinese officials were quick to blame bats sold at the wet market in Wuhan as the source of the outbreak.

Delay in admitting human-human transmission

Covering up death toll

China still only claims to 4,636 dead from virus.

The people of Wuhan believe the death toll in their city that was the epicentre of the outbreak is 42,000 - not the 3,182 claimed by China.

Silencing whistleblowers

Eight Wuhan medical workers who sounded the alarm on the virus at the end of December were accused of spreading fake news and reprimanded by police.

President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day after top Communist Party leaders learned of the outbreak, January 20.

In the meantime, the Chinese government arrested or silenced doctors and citizens in Wuhan who tried to speak out about the disturbing new outbreak.

Even the mayor of Wuhan suggested in an interview with Chinese state television that Communist Party leadership prohibited him from warning the public until January 20.

By the time Xi issued the public warning, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.

The delay from January 14 to January 20 by the first country to face the new coronavirus came at a critical time - the beginning of the outbreak.

Until Thursday, ministers had been showing China on charts detailing cases and deaths in other countries in the government's daily press conference, comparing them to those in the UK. China's figures have since disappeared.

 

Why am I not surprised?...needless to say, this mofo is nuts.

"It looks like President Trump is going into hiding -- from the press, that is. Facing an avalanche of controversy over his bizarre comments on sunlight and dangerous comments regarding disinfectants, the President held a record short briefing Friday evening (sans Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx), abruptly ending it after 22 minutes of statements without taking any questions from the press.
On CNN, Wolf Blitzer called Trump "chicken" and said he was "probably afraid" of the grilling he was all but certain to face over the "flat lie" he told the day before regarding disinfectants. Later in the night, Anderson Cooper, who argued Trump was guilty of "Soviet"-like spin for pretending his comments were sarcastic during a bill signing, said he "cut and ran" because he knew he'd face hard questions."

The move comes after Trump even started receiving criticism from Fox. When he tried to claim that he was merely being sarcastic with his disinfectant remarks, anchors like Neil Cavuto and Bret Baier pushed back. "Wow, that is a little unsettling," said Cavuto. "Got to clarify this. The president was not joking in his remarks yesterday." And Baier said Trump "clearly stepped in it" and did not appear to be joking.
>> Worth noting: While some on Fox pushed back against Trump's remarks, AP's David Bauder pointed out that the network didn't question them on Thursday. The network's news site also questioned whether critics had "twisted" Trump's words. And Trump's biggest defenders on the network still are not challenging him. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump does an on-air chat sooner than later with one of his friends on Fox while he dodges questions from the press..."
