Morgues in some areas of Italy are working to deal with the dramatic increase in bodies as the result of the coronavirus pandemic that has swept through the country. The New York Times reported that the Lombardy region, which is in the northern part of the country, has been hit particularly hard. Brother Marco Bergamelli, one of the priests at the Church of All Saints in Bergamo, told the paper that the church cannot keep up with the demand.

The number of people dying from the coronavirus pandemic in Mexico is five times higher than official government figures, according to health department insiders. A Sky News investigations team working in the country's capital Mexico City has documented cremations and funerals and gained access to morgues and storage rooms full of bodies - all indicate the official data is wrong. In much of Mexico City, the second largest city in Latin America, there is virtually no social distancing, with open air markets and some businesses operating normally, despite the coronavirus pandemic. The government claims that the virus curve has been...

Refrigerated trucks have been requested in Texas and Arizona as coronavirus deaths continue to rise. They are among the states that have recently seen a surge in COVID-19 cases. In San Antonio, Texas, there is an issue of morgue space at hospitals, so refrigerated trucks are at the ready, Bruce Davidson, director of communications for the San Antonio mayor's office, told CBS News on Tuesday. During a meeting on COVID-19 with San Antonio and Bexar County officials on Monday, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg also said refrigerated trucks were requested, adding that just 10 percent of hospital beds in the...

With intensive care units at Southern California hospitals nearly full because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMS) has directed ambulance crews not to transport patients with little chance of survival to hospitals, and to conserve the use of oxygen. Los Angeles and Southern California are dealing with one of the country's worst outbreaks of the novel coronavirus. ICU bed capacity plunged to 0% in Southern California last month, as more and more people were admitted to hospital seeking treatment for Covid-19. Now, many medical facilities simply do not have the space to take...

The Wuhan Institute of Virology kept live bats in cages, new footage from inside the facility has revealed, disproving denials from World Health Organisation investigators who claimed the suggestion was a “conspiracy”. An official Chinese Academy of Sciences video to mark the launch of the new biosafety level 4 laboratory in May 2017 speaks about the security precautions that are in place if “an accident” occurs and reveals there had been “intense clashes” with the French Government during the construction of the laboratory.

“Damning” science strongly suggests that COVID-19 is a man-made monster, optimized in a lab for maximum infectivity before hitting the outside to catastrophic effect, two experts said Sunday.Writing in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller pointed to two key pieces of evidence to support the claim, which has increasingly gained steam after long being derided as little more than speculation.[cut]Recently revealed emails by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, show that he was warned as early as Jan. 2020 that the virus may have been “engineered.” In a Senate...

Communist China detained a reporter from The Wall Street Journal who sneaked to the cave in southern China where the Wuhan Institute of Virology collected coronavirus samples approximately eight years ago after six miners became extremely ill, three of whom later died, after cleaning out the cave’s bat feces.The backstory about the six miners, which was reported nearly a year ago by The Sun, took place in a copper mine in the mountains of southwest China in the Yunnan province.“Chinese authorities have obstructed independent efforts to investigate the mine, setting up a checkpoint nearby where unidentified men stopped several foreign...

ANYBODY but this guy would be more suitable. Revered scientific journal The Lancet has created a ‘task force’ to investigate the origins of the coronavirus that caused a global pandemic, yet it has decided to employ as its leader the very guy who funded the dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan lab and subsequently allegedly ‘bullied’ other scientists into avoiding looking into the lab as a potential source of the outbreak. In the wake of renewed scrutiny of the lab leak hypothesis, the Lancet’s task force will reportedly “focus on analyzing data on all of the theories put...

Guarded by Chinese police and sealed off from the outside world, this former copper mine in Mojiang some 1118 miles away from Wuhan could be a smoking gun on the origin of the pandemic. The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) - a high security bio lab specalising in coronaviruses - is in the eye of the storm as questions rage whether Covid could have originally emerged from escaped from its campus. China and the lab furiously deny any allegations, but a new study has suggested the virus appears to have been manipulated and US President Joe Biden has ordered his...

The National Institute of Health provided more than $800,000 to Wuhan lab over 6 year period ------ In a Senate hearing late last month, top doctor Anthony Fauci told lawmakers the U.S. granted $600,000 in funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology over a five-year period, but documents provided by the Department of Health and Human Services Friday show the actual number was a third higher. Reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by Judicial Watch, found that between 2014 and 2019 $826,277 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the directive...

Former White House coronavirus testing czar Admiral Brett Giroir appeared on Fox News Thursday morning in what turned out to be a bombshell interview with Bill Hemmer.While discussing the virus’ origin and Dr. Fauci’s public statements, Giroir confidently said that “it is not outrageous to hypothesize that [COVID-19] could have been part of an offensive bioweapons program and leaked out accidentally”:"The most likely explanation is that it was gain-of-function mutation work that leaked out.The United States does not have an offensive biological weapons program. There are multiple open sources of intel that suggests that China has an extensive biological weapons...

New emails obtained by Buzzfeed through a Freedom Information Act show National Institute of Health Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was told by NIH scientist Kristian Andersen on January 31, 2020 that Wuhan coronavirus looked "potentially engineered." In other words, it was manipulated in a lab through gain of function research. "On a phylogenetic tree the virus looks totally normal and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir. The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to...

<p>Dr Fauci’s emails have been released via a Freedom of Information Act request, and there is some pretty interesting stuff in them, particularly one email where a researcher who funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology thanks Fauci for publicly dismissing the lab leak theory early on during the pandemic.</p>

Was Donald Trump right all along about covid-19? Did the world's worst pandemic for 100 years emanate from a laboratory in Wuhan, China? If so, where does all this leave Dr Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, and the face of the nation's response to Covid, who vehemently dismissed the engineered theory but has close and potentially conflicting ties to China's top scientists and the very lab under suspicion? These are some of the very uncomfortable questions now gathering ferocious momentum following President Biden's decision to order a new 90-day investigation by US intelligence agencies to 'redouble their efforts'...

More and more people and countries after countries are now refusing to believe in the theory of natural origin of Covid-19. Officially, the UK demanded an independent investigation to know how Covid-19 originated and turned into a pandemic. ... China did not give full access to the activities going on inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The WHO team that visited Wuhan in January this year was reportedly not allowed to see the files pertaining to the research undertaken by virologist Shi Zhengli... China’s “bat woman”... The researchers have based their theory on two broad counts: the absence of intermediary...

SENATOR Rand Paul went on yet another tirade against the nation's leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci over what he claims are lies spread by Fauci about American-funded research in the Wuhan lab where Covid is thought to have originated. Paul, who has had a fair number of jabs thrown at Fauci over the Covid-19 jab, said on Thursday that Fauci's emails newly made public due to a FOIA request show Fauci knew of American funds going to the Chinese lab. Appearing on Fox News, Paul said the thousands of emails showed Fauci could have been responsible for the...

This is turning into a banner day for evidence supporting the theory that the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of the virus leaking from a lab in Wuhan, China. Earlier today, RedState reported on the surprising flip-flop from the exalted Dr. Anthony Fauci.After over a year of dismissing the idea that the COVID-19 virus leaked from a lab, either purposely or inadvertently, Fauci’s now “not convinced” that the virus originated in nature (see: Fauci Admits He’s ‘Not Convinced’ COVID-19 Developed Naturally, Could Have Leaked From Lab). His change of heart is especially rich, given how combative he’s been with Sen....

Appearing Thursday on the Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom, Adm. Brett Giroir, former White House coronavirus testing czar, said there is “no data” to support Dr. Anthony Fauci’s claim of the coronavirus evolving from nature.

Evidence continues to point to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as the origin of SARS-CoV-2. Meanwhile, based on the now publicized emails sent to and from Dr. Fauci, it has become evident that there was a strong push to downplay this theory and convince the world the virus evolved naturally. The story grew thicker on Thursday. According to a report from Vanity Fair, last March, leading scientists aggressively tried to silence former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield after stating his belief on CNN that the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan. Following his public...

Update (1650ET): It appears former President Trump has read a few more of Fauci’s real ouchies exposed by the FOIA-driven email extravaganza and he doesn’t like what he’s reading. In a statement released via NewsMax’s Steve Cortes, Trump demands reparations from China for unleashing hell on the world… Now everyone, even the so-called “enemy”, are beginning to say that President Trump was right about the China Virus coming from the Wuhan Lab.The correspondence between Dr. Fauci and China speaks too loudly for anyone to ignore. China should pay Ten Trillion Dollars to America, and the World, for the death and...
