Here’s A Timeline Of The Coronavirus Outbreak And China’s Coverup [Began in NOVEMBER!]

The U.S. State Department on Thursday released two timelines: The first about the coronavirus outbreak and the second about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) coverup of the outbreak.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained to Fox News’ Sean Hannity earlier this week to talk about China’s “disinformation campaign” regarding the coronavirus.

“This disinformation campaign, which began when we began to call out this risk that was created not only for the Chinese people, but now we can see people all across the world where the Chinese Government knew about this risk, had identified it, they were the first to know, and they wasted valuable days at the front end, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to leave Wuhan to go to places like Italy that’s now suffering so badly. They tried to suppress this information – you talked about the means by which they did it – instead of trying to actually do the work to suppress the virus, which is what the world demanded. And the Chinese Communist Party didn’t get it right and put countless lives at risk as a result of that,” Pompeo said.

Below is a compiled list of both the outbreak and coverup timelines.

November 17: The first case of someone suffering from COVID-19 occurs in Wuhan, according to the South China Morning Post

December 10: Wei Guixian, sold goods in Wuhan’s wet market, reportedly started feeling sick on this day. Thankfully, she was released from the hospital in January, The Wall Street Journal reported.

December 27: Zhang Jixian, a doctor at the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, sounds the alarm about a new disease that has already affected 180 patients, the Morning Post reported.

December 26-30: The first evidence of the new virus is revealed through Wuhan patient data, which had been sent to multiple Chinese genomics companies, Caixin Global reported.

Hubei’s health commission orders a genomics company to stop testing the new virus and destroy all samples, according to an anonymous source in Caixin Global.

December 31: More than a month after the first incident of COVID-19, Chinese officials alert the World Health Organization (WHO) China Country Office about pneumonia with an unknown cause affecting people in Wuhan, Caixin Global reported.

Chinese Internet authorities started censoring terms relating to the virus on social media, including “Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia,” “SARS Variation,” “Wuhan Seafood Market,” and anything critical of the government’s response to the disease, Citizen Lab reported.

January 1: Eight doctors, including Dr. Li Wenliang, are detained and questioned by the Chinese government, who condemn them for “making false statements on the Internet,” CNN reported. Li is then forced to write a letter saying his warnings “had a negative impact,” the Journal reported.

Caixin Global reported that the Hubei health commission ordered genomics companies to stop testing the virus and destroy samples, confirming its earlier report.

The Wuhan seafood market where the virus allegedly first broke out was finally closed, though it is then “disinfected” without swabbing the individual animal cages or drawing any blood from the workers, meaning the evidence of what may have been the source of the virus was destroyed, the Times reported.

January 3: China’s National Health Commission issued a gag order and ordering pneumonia samples moved to designated testing facilities or destroyed. The Commission also orders institutions not to publish any information about the still unknown disease, Caixin Global reported.

January 5: Professor Zhang Yongzhen of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center provided the genomic sequence of the virus to Chinese authorities. On the same day, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission stopped releasing daily updates on new cases, the Journal reported.

January 9: WHO released a statement about the cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, suggesting the cases pointed to a coronavirus as the possible pathogen causing the issues. The statement also said China ruled out SARS, MERS, influenza, bird flu, and other common pathogens.

January 10: Wang Guangfa, a prominent People’s Republic of China government expert, told state broadcaster China Central Television that the pneumonia outbreak was “under control” and downplayed the virus as a “mild condition,” the Times reported.

January 11: Because the Chinese government took no action on Yongzhen’s genomic sequence, he published the data online to help the world work on testing methods, the Morning Post reported.

January 12: The National Health Commission shared the virus genomic information with the WHO for the first time, Caixin Global reported. On this same day, Youngzhen’s lab in Shanghai is closed for “rectification,” the Morning Post reported.

January 14: WHO said there may have been human-to-human transmission of the virus, Reuters reported. Also on this day, Chinese police wearing plainclothes start detaining journalists trying to report on the outbreak at Wuhan’s Jinyintan Hospital. The journalists are forced to delete any footage taken and hand over their phones and cameras for inspection, Business Insider and the Times reported.

January 15: Li Qun, head of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) emergency center, claims the risk of human-to-human transmission is “low,” the Journal reported.

January 17: After 12 days, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission started giving daily updates on new cases of the coronavirus.

January 18: Despite the presence of the coronavirus, Wuhan holds a “potluck” banquet for 40,000 families to try and break a world record, The New York Times reported.

January 20: Dr. Zhong Nanshan, who helped fight SARS, says in a TV interview that the coronavirus is spreading from person to person. Nanshan also said later that if the Chinese government had acted in December or early January to contain the virus, “the number of sick would have been greatly reduced, the Journal reported.

This same day, Wuhan Mayor Zhou Xianwang said Beijing rules kept him from disclosing information about the threat of the coronavirus, the Journal reported.

January 23: Wuhan is finally locked down, even though about 5 million people had already left the city without being screened by that time.

February 6: China President Xi Jinping orders the country’s Internet watchdog to further control social media platforms, the Morning Post reported. On this same day, citizen journalist Chen Qiushi, who was also a former rights attorney, disappeared in Wuhan after posting footage from overcrowded hospitals and panicking families, the Times reported.

February 7: Dr. Li Wenliang dies of the coronavirus, which he contracted from a patient. Wenliang was detained for sounding the alarm on the virus, the Journal reported.

February 9: Another citizen journalist, Fang Bin, who was also a local businessman, disappeared after posting videos from Wuhan on Chinese social media, the Times reported.

February 15: President Xi tightened control over Internet discussion even further, the Agence Free-Presse reported. On this same day, activist Xu Zhiyong was arrested for a February 4 essay calling for Xi to resign for suppressing information about the coronavirus. Xu had been on the run for two months, NPR reported.

February 16: Professor Xu Zhangrun was put on house arrest and banned from social media and the Internet for publishing an essay stating “The coronavirus epidemic has revealed the rotten core of Chinese governance,” The Guardian reported.

February 19: Reporters for the Journal had their press credentials revoked by Beijing over their coverage of the coronavirus outbreak, the Journal reported.

March 14: Another activist, Ren Zhiqiang, disappeared in Beijing after criticizing the way Xi responded to the coronavirus, the Times reported.

I had the flu/bronchitis around New Years. I’m just beginning to wonder if I had it already. Though I don’t remember any shortness of breath.

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

CHICOMS wanted this to grow sufficiently inside China’s population in order to have it reach America.

It would be interesting to check to se if there were an uptick in deaths from flu/pneumonia in the US around November 17th. (It wouldn’t be diagnosed as COVID at the time.) No reason it couldn’t have been from Dec 1st, at latest.

He and other Senators were supporting the House impeachment activities. Articles of impeachment voted on December 18, 2019, roughly a month after the latest date verified for know Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. House Intel Committee may have known earlier. How can the Democrats justify their actions when Pelosi said it would be fruitless since a conviction was seen as impossible? Did they have other motives? The impeachment calendar needs to be compared to this list.

We are at war. Few people know.

Its undeclared bio-warfare.Its the art of war without going to war....right out of Sun Tzu’s art of War.

The Red Chinese did everything they could to obscure COVID-19 and information related to the outbreak, covering it up when the Red Chinese first encountered the virus in November.

Read it right here:

Its all about China’s bio-warfare espionage conducted world wide, including control of the WHO :

Very thorough and organized. Lengthy and organized historically. Its just the way of India’s academic approach to some issues in journalism.It is updated as more facts come to light. Their premise at first seems far fetched, but the array of facts just keeps slowly accumulating

Their outline:

Contents

1 South China Seafood Market: the controversial “source of epidemic”
1.1 The Internal Circular
1.2 Destroying the “Crime Scene”
1.3 China CDC’s Statements
1.4 The explosive Lancet Papers
1.5 Diagnostic Criteria
2 Virological Evidence: Gene Variation in Wuhan New Coronavirus COVID-19
2.1 E Protein
2.2 The Zhoushan virus
2.3 S Protein
2.4 Molecular Evolution Clock & Recent Common Ancestors
3 Shi Zhengli: Mystery of cross-species Coronavirus infection
3.1 Special relationship between S protein and ACE2 receptor
3.2 Key to Coronavirus Cross-Species Infection
3.3 Academic Controversy
3.4 New horseshoe bat virus RaTG13
4 Pangolin Mystery: the sudden “intermediate host”
4.1 The Special Pangolins
4.2 Do Pangolin Coronavirus infect Humans?
5 Wuhan Institute of Virology: the epicenter of Coronavirus outbreak
5.1 The Sino-French Collaboration
5.2 China’s Secret Biological Weapons Program
6 GreatGameIndia investigation on Coronavirus Bioweapon
6.1 White House Coronavirus Task Force
6.2 Coronavirus Bioweapon
6.3 Assassination of Frank Plummer
7 GreatGameIndia Coronavirus Coverage

READ AT LINK:

https://greatgameindia.com/covid19-files-scientific-investigation-on-mysterious-origin-of-coronavirus/

Red China has advanced a huge attack on think tank Great Game India’s credibility , saying their facts are debunked. I see nothing that has been actually debunked in their reporting. You have to remember that Indian journalists have been working to expose Red Chinese subterfuge for a very long time, since about 1949.This is not their first “rodeo,” given Chinese pressure on the Sino-Indian border and the propaganda Red China has published over the years to justify Red China’s expansionist agenda, resulting in border conflicts in the Sikkim area, for example, and other border conflicts involving India’s military and Red China’s support military support of Pakistan.

So I am reading what Great Game India has written about the COVID-19 issue with an open mind. It bears watching.There is a lot going on between our country and China behind the scenes.China refuses to allow US medical teams to visit Wuhan, despite repeated attempts. I suspect that President Trump knows the truth of the matter. He certainly is acting that way on several fronts.

The Red Chinese pown the WHO as a part of their world wide bio-warfare initiative.

In this instance, China has become a financial winner, buying up stocks and other investments at bargain basement prices and avoiding losing the Trade War with President Trump or at the very least postponing the trade war.

Freeper Fred Nerks points this out via referencing this article:
