Reports from the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] indicated that China deliberately hid its novel coronavirus outbreak in October or November 2019 to stockpile supplies needed fight the deadly virus. “We assess the Chinese government intentionally concealed the severity of the Covid-19 from the international community in early January while it stockpiled medical supplies by both increasing imports and decreasing exports,” read the May 1 DHS report. While that’s an interesting theory, there’s no corroboration for the speculative report trying to ascertain motive to the Chinese government to delay the world knowing about the deadly, highly contagious SARS CoV02 outbreak in Wuhan. World Health Organization’s 55-year-old Ethiopian Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyseus said Jan. 14 that there was no “human-to-human” transmission in Wuhan, when in he knew better.
Going down the latest rabbit hole trying to ascertain motive, it gets a bit dicey when the DHS accuses China to deliberately stockpiling medial supplies and equipment to fight a raging infectious disease crisis, killing Chinese citizens in record numbers. Yet Tedros knew Dec. 31 that Wuhan was dealing with an infectious disease crisis similar but more deadly that the 2003 SARS outbreak. “We further assess the Chinese government attempt to hide the actions by denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of the trade data,” said the four-page DHS report. Chinese President Xi Jinping had bigger fish to fry than concealing trade data related to medical supplies. If the world knew that Wuhan was dealing with a deadly, highly contagious epidemic it would have decimated the Chinese economy, driving away U.S. and European trade for the foreseeable future.
Looking at the record, there’s no mystery what happened in Wuhan’s Institute of Virology where the novel coronavirus in all likelihood escaped. Chinese Communist officials and WHO demand proof, accusing 73-year-old President Donald Trump and 56-year-old Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of fabricating evidence proving that the virus leaded from Wuhan;s Institute of Vicrology, a Level 4 microbiology lab handling the most deadly viruses known to man. Reports of China playing around with bat-originated deadly coronaviruses come from multiple sources. But there’s no better proof that Xi’s own words Feb. 22 when he said he would tighten biosecurity to “protect the people” at China’s microbiology labs. Following Xi’s statement, China’s Ministry of Science and Technology issued new procedures for microbiology labs experimenting with novel coronviruses. If that’s not proof, then what is?
Looking back on the record to 2018, a State Department Report indicated from U.S. scientists visiting Wuhan’s Institute of Virology said U.S. scientists found egregious deficiencies in the Institute of Virology’s properly trained lab personnel, needed to deal safely with deadly viruses. Xi’s Feb. 22 remarks and those of the Ministry of Science and Technology prove that China was indeed experimenting with deadly coronavirus in Wuhan’s labs. Chinese officials appeal to skeptics in the U.S. press and Democrat Party hoping to upend Trump in November’s presidential election. China knows it can play the U.S. press like a fiddle, blaming Trump for inaction, rather that looking at what really happened. China has to pretend the novel coronavirus came naturally from bats in Wuhan’s wet market, something so improbable, defying what Xi and the Ministry of Science and Technology openly admitted Feb. 22.
What’s astonishing is the extent to which the mainstream press leaves out key details in reporting about the origin of the virus. When Deputy Foreign Minister Zhao Lijian blamed the U.S. military March 14 for the coronvirus, you knew China was in full-on cover-up over its responsibility for creating the worst global plague since the 1918 H1NI Spanish flu pandemic that killed up to 50 million people worldwide. Covering up the global pandemic was more than stockpiling medical supplies, it goes to the heart of China’s liability, worth trillions of dollars to some 200 countries dealing with the widespread devastation from the virus. Trump and Pompeo are holding China’s feet to the fire, expecting the Communist government to accept responsibility. Foreign Minister Spokesman Le Lucheng said April 29, that China can’t be held responsible for a naturally occurring disease.
Lucheng admitted that Wuhan was locked down Jan. 23, only nine days after Tedros declared that there was no “human-to-human transmission” in Wuhan. Trump banned Chinese flights from China Jan. 31 but is was already too late to stop the spread of the coronavirus to the United States and Europe. China allowed millions of infected tourists to vacation in the U.S. and Europe over the 2019 holidays and 2020 Chinese New Year. WHO finally declared March 11 a SARS CoV-2 global pandemic, only three days before Lijian blamed the U.S. military for the virus. “The U.S. government has ignored the facts, diverted public attention and engaged in buck-passing in an attempt to shirk the responsibility for incompetence in the fight against the epidemic,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang May 1. Shuang can’t account for Xi’s Feb. 22 promise to clean up microbiology labs.
