Revisiting a bit of old news denied by China, 73-year-old Donald Trump stunned the media today saying that the coronavirus AKA SARS CoV-2 or Covid-19 came from a laboratory in Wuhan’s Institute of Virology. China’s 57-year-old Deputy Foreign Minister Le Lucheng said April 29 that the coronaviurs was naturally occurring and therefore China was not responsible for it. Lucheng reversed the statement from his colleague at the Foreign Ministry Zhao Lijian who said March 14 that the coronavirus was planted in Wuhan by the U.S. military. Trump’s now closing in on China’s unending lies about the origin of global pandemic that’s spread to 3,308,233 people with 234,195 deaths worldwide. No country has been hit harder than the United States with 1,095,210 cases and 63,961 deaths or 27.3% of world mortality. Lucheng said yesterday that no country can be blamed for a disease.
Asked today about evidence that the coronavirus was leaked out of Wuhan’s Institute of Virology bioweapons lab, Trump declined to comment. “I’m not allowed to tell you that,” Trump said at his daily briefing. One journalist asked Trump if he knew that the coronavirus was “not manmade or genetically modified,” according to the “Office of the Director of National Intelligence.” While Trump didn’t respond, the question is old news, used by China as a smokescreen to say the coronavirus didn’t come from Wuhan’s Institute of Virology. China was prohibited by the 1976 Biological Weapons Convention from experimenting with deadly viruses, part of biological warfare research. Yet the press wants to find any reason to discredit the obvious that the deadly, contagious virus leaked from Wuhan’s bioweapons’ lab, infecting the city’s population in late October or early November 2019.
Lucheng thought he was doing his government a favor when he said yesterday that the Chinese Government locked down Wuhan Jan. 23, only nine days after World Health Organization [WHO] Director-General said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated Jan. 14 that there was no “human-to-human” transmission in Wuhan, China. Lucheng sets the record straight that things were so bad Jan. 23 that they totally shut down the city, closed all factories and businesses and ordered residents to stay in their homes. But somehow were asked to believe that China and Tedros didn’t know Jan. 14 that they were dealing with a spiraling SARS CoV-2 epidemic, dropping Chinese citizens like flies. At the time Tedros said there was no “human-to-human transmission,” Wuhan’s 14 crematoriums couldn’t keep pace with coronavirus-infected corpses. Trump statement today refutes China’s feeble explanation.
Trump shared the fact that he had seen U.S. intel that indicates that the virus leaked from Wuhan’s Institute of Virology, either by human-to-human infection or from infected laboratory animals, most likely pangolins on which the bioweapons lab were experimenting. Reports of Chinese lab workers selling infected pangolins into China’s wet markets and food chain have come from multiple sources. But however the deadly SARS CoV-2 outbreak leaked from the Level 4 bioweapons lab, it infected Wuhan’s population, spreading like wildfire. Lucheng insists China locked down Wuhan, namely from other Chinese citizens, but allowed Wuhan’s infected population to vacation to Europe, the United States and parts beyond, infecting the world with the deadly virus. Lucheng said China has been “upfront” about handling the deadly pandemic, accepting zero responsibility for unleashing plague on the planet.
Trump let the press know today that he will release the intel at the appropriate time, tying the deadly coronavirus to Wuhan’s Institute of Virology. “This is something that could have been contained at the original location, and I think it could have been contained relatively easily,” Trump said. China and WHO’s Tedros kept the dirty little secret about the Wuhan epidemic until finally declaring a global pandemic March 11. By that time it was too late, the world was infected by hordes of Chinese citizens vacationing around the planet. WHO’s Tedros was complicit with China preventing the world from knowing the extent to the outbreak. Tedros slammed Trump Feb. 3 three days after Trump instituted a travel ban from China Jan. 31. Lucheng’s clever PR offensive was designed to seduce the anti-Trump press into blaming Trump for not acting quickly enough to contain the U.S. outbreak.
Trump told the press he’d find out what happened with the coronavirus outbreak, both it’s origin and WHO’s lack of a response. Trump suspended all U.S. funding April 14 from WHO pending an investigation. Tedros should have resigned weeks ago but continues to cover-up his gross negligence in failing to do his job. “They could have stopped it,” Trump said. “They are a very brilliant nation, scientifically and otherwise. It got loose, let’s say, and the could have capped it. They could have stopped it, but they didn’t.” With Lucheng admitting yesterday that Wuhan was locked down Jan. 23, it shows that the deadly crononavrus had spiraled out of control in November and December 2019 and January 2020. WHO’s failure to take urgent action can only be explained by a personal favor to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who was responsible for helping Ethiopia and getting Tedros the WHO job July 1, 2017.
