Is This Why WHO Peddled China's Propaganda on the Wuhan Coronavirus?
Townhall.com ^ | 3/4/2020 | Matt Vespa

China lied, and people died. That's a fact. It's also a fact that this pandemic originated in China. It's called the Wuhan coronavirus. Period. China discovered evidence of this pneumonia-like illness in December and ordered its scientists to destroy samples. China dragged its feet when it came to informing the public. It kept information about human-to-human transmission buried. It kept medical crews in the dark and strong-armed doctors who were trying to do the right thing. But somehow, it's not China's fault. I cannot eye-roll hard enough. And remember, the World Health Organization pretty much spread Chinese misinformation in January (via Fox News):

(tweet WHO)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet. The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China," the organization had said. It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak. The Chinese government reportedly knew the disease was spreading before the tweet was sent, according to the South China Morning Post.

The biggest question is why did they wait and try to cover up this pandemic. Why cover up a epidemic you didn’t create or cause? There is no reason so the CCP must have created this virus or stolen it.

They could have just accidentally leaked it from their lab. That would be embarrassing enough, I suspect.

Right now the task is to get control of the pandemic. The genie cannot be put back in the bottle. AFAIC, China is finished as an economic power, maybe for the next century. And if I can see this I’m sure a lot of other starter people in power can too. No matter who (and WHO) is being bribed by the CCP.

I would not rule out that lab rats, bats and other animals being studied in the Wuhan lab, found their way to the Wuhan wet market when they were done running tests on them.

Earlier this week Tucker Carlson did a segment on the origin of the coronavirus. Carlson, who has been pretty aggressive in his coverage of the virus, pointed out a Chinese research paper (since pulled by the author) which claimed the virus could not have arisen at the Wuhan wet market because the horseshoe bats where the virus arose were not for sale at the market. In fact, the bats are not naturally found anywhere within 900 miles of the market. However, bats were being studied for viruses they carried in two labs including one just a few hundred meters from the market.

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~!

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.

OH DEAR GOD!

"But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. "

Sorry for shouting at yah rightwingcrazy but note the date.

Thanks FRiend.

There is so much coming out that Google Chrome is running into delays with setting up some of these graphics.

I have gotten some heads up with knowledgeable medical people, some I have known for decades.

That the S**t will be hitting the fan re reality versus BS in the next 6+ weeks.
