China Knew and Now We Have Something Deadlier Than the Flu

China lied and people died. That’s a fact. Tired of being cooped up inside, do you miss sports, do you miss being outside with friends at BBQs and bars? We all do—and you should blame China for torpedoing pretty much everyone’s lives because of their incompetence. This government, which already kills its own people, decided to go for a grand slam hit of spreading this pneumonia-like virus, known as the Wuhan coronavirus, everywhere. It’s a pandemic. Oh, and now the Associated Press reports that China knew this virus would become a global pandemic, but sat on its hands for nearly a week—A WEEK:

In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations.

President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.

Six days.

That delay from Jan. 14 to Jan. 20 was neither the first mistake made by Chinese officials at all levels in confronting the outbreak, nor the longest lag, as governments around the world have dragged their feet for weeks and even months in addressing the virus.

But the delay by the first country to face the new coronavirus came at a critical time — the beginning of the outbreak. China’s attempt to walk a line between alerting the public and avoiding panic set the stage for a pandemic that has infected more than 2 million people and taken more than 128,000 lives.

China kept its medical crews in the dark, prevented doctors from reporting new cases, and disappeared blogger and medical professional who tried to raise the red flag. But we can’t blame China, says Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) because Trump is president. Reagan wrote up what looks like the Connecticut liberal’s interview to become China’s de facto Senate liaison in spreading misinformation on the Hill. 

Many Democrats seem constitutionally incapable of admitting that China covered up this plague and deserve any blame whatsoever https://t.co/LodIOTsTul— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) April 15, 2020

I’m just surprised to see a headline that admits it’s worse than the flu.

Trump needs to show the world the WHO press releases and documents from January and early Feb. It’s not enough to just harangue them about the inaction.

Show the documents.

WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on the information currently available on this event.

The fake news political operatives won’t show their viewers this info. Trump needs to show American the misleading releases and statements.

If they can nail people’s front doors shut, they can stop people from traveling abroad.
Nobody in China travels abroad without permission of the government. Nobody stays abroad without that permission.

this was the opening stage of WWIII.

China released proudly its planned
HIV-laden ACE-2 binding coronavirus du jour
which it made from Pangolins and bat RNA
using Gates/soros/WHO encouragement and funding
to murder most of the planet
through chronic brain infections
and ebbing immune systems.

> this was the opening stage of WWIII.

As this goes on and the stated purpose of the shutdown evolves to distance it from the original forecast of American deaths and health system collapse, the more it seems that this is a premeditated and coordinated attack by Globalists and the ChiComs against the United States which was launched a few months too early ...

It was not incompetence. It was intentional.

And many who are allowed to travel,abroad are faithful Chicomm party members. They won’t openly declare it, but it’s true.

I don’t think they would release it in their own population. I think this comes down to one tragic error of lab containment standards.

How many of these faithful Commies were infected and ordered to infect the West .
I suspect many of these student/spies were planted bio weapons fir the motherland .
The person who infected Seattle was a China Green card .
The two China students who first infected S Calif .
The student who first infected Boston .

Then China quietly flew them all home on Charters .

Mission accomplished !

I don't think they would send 20,000 soldiers up a hill knowing that 19,000 will be cut down by American machine guns, just to have 1000 guys on the hill at the end of the day. Oh, wait...

Human lives is one resource China has always had in great quantity, and culturally they have never been shy about spending it.

It is reassuring to see my senator Chris Murphy covering for the Chinese, once again. The voters in Connecticut are idiots.

I think they deliberately used Hubei province as a human incubator, released the virus in time to infect a large number of people who returned home for the lunar new year, and then sent them out into the world. I don’t think they cared what happened to most of them.

There is a reason Hubei was locked down internally from the rest of China, but they allowed international travel from there.

A meaningless tweet and a soon to follow CYA statement about doing nothing.

The WHO dragged it’s feet on recommending against travel during the Chinese New Year. Extremely incriminating.
