  • Coronavirus began months earlier and not in Wuhan

    Coronavirus began months earlier and not in Wuhan, bombshell UK report claims

    https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/lat...r-not-21882132
    While coronavirus was previously believed to have originated in a wet market in Wuhan at the end of last year, new research suggests it may have actually came from further south – and began spreading among humans as early as September 2019.

        The Lancet, is one of the most venerable medical journals in the world. They minced no words in this blistering editorial criticizing Trump's Covid-19 response.

        With more than 600 000 confirmed cases and close to 27 000 deaths, the USA has become the current centre of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Fewer than 3 months have elapsed since the first severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in Washington State was confirmed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Initially appearing slow moving and constrained in contrast to the scale of outbreaks in China and Italy, COVID-19 has given way to a nationwide public health catastrophe. For the first time in US history, a disaster declaration has been put in place for all 50 states and most US territories, and 95% of Americans are at least temporarily under some form of stay at home order. The increasing gravity of the situation in the USA has drawn public health and infectious disease experts, policy makers, and partisans across state and federal government into a fitful clash for control and direction of the COVID-19 response. Putting the USA at odds with the international community and global pandemic strategy efforts, President Trump announced his intention to withdraw funding from WHO (about 22% of its budget). Caught amid the chaos are the American people grappling with the fear of a deadly and poorly understood virus, conflicting messaging around their protection and safety, fear of financial fallout, absence of a cohesive national strategy, and volatile, incompetent leadership.
        As Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has suggested, sluggish decision making by the federal government at the outset of the COVID-19 crisis lost precious time: had “you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives”. It was not until late February, 2020, after local transmission of COVID-19 was established in additional clusters in Oregon and New York states, that the CDC updated guidance to authorise testing for individuals who had not travelled recently, substantially widening the scope of cases that could be detected. During the brief window when containment of the virus might have been a possibility, the CDC retained control of all testing, preventing external academic and commercial test development, and processing only about 100 samples per day. The US Food and Drug Administration has also created barriers through its requisite approval scheme for all diagnostics. Even with the slow scale-up of testing, private facilities and laboratories tasked with processing samples have been severely overwhelmed with thousands of backlogged cases. Point-of-care and clinic testing for active infections is still pressing, especially in regions where outbreaks are predicted to occur, but there must now be a shift in urgency to develop and expand testing capacity for previous COVID-19 infections.


        Testing might rely on the ability to innovate, but simple and effective prophylaxis against COVID-19 has been hampered and delayed by Trump's prevarication. Dynamic models predicting the rates of mortality and hospital admission, such as the IHME COVID-19 projections as well as previous pandemic preparedness plans, have been available to help states get ready for surge responses, through increasing the number of hospital beds and ventilators available. Yet shortages and inadequate personal protective equipment have and continue to put front-line health-care workers at great risk. After sparring with governors over access to the Strategic National Stockpile, Trump has not invoked the Defense Production Act, ordering private businesses to manufacture needed goods, leaving states, philanthropists, and health-care advocacy groups to source equipment, often directly competing with the federal government for goods. Anticipating a protracted fight against COVID-19 that could involve multiple waves of outbreak, reinforcing that availability and equitable distribution of essential medical supplies should be the priority of existing federal agencies.

        In hard-hit states such as New York, although hundreds of COVID-19 deaths are still occurring daily, hospital admissions appear to have plateaued. Credit might be due to effective physical distancing measures that limit community mobility. But progress in preventing the spread of COVID-19 has come with economic havoc—at least 17 million Americans are unemployed, a number that could ultimately surpass the Great Depression, and take years to correct. A new impasse is forming around the Trump administration's eagerness to boost the economy by lifting restrictions, just as mitigation efforts by the states are yielding results. The degree to which the USA stalled in taking aggressive action to curtail the spread of COVID-19 is directly the product of an administration marked by consistently poor timing, intent on making decisions in favour of economic interests instead of those that are guided by science and to protect health. The rush to reopen the country puts dollars over deaths.

          All this opinion and yet it is nothing but sitting back and making decisions based on past events.
          Just where were all these great minds during the storm? The entire Democrat party has done nothing of value but try to position it self to take down Trump.

            Opinions are offered up on this site all day long.
            Why is an opinion, from a respected Medical journal, belittled to the point where you feel it has no credence ?
            The answer to where were "all these great minds" ? Educating themselves with facts and statistics would be my guess.

              My advice would be to look through the evidence provided in this thread that shows those voices reaching out and being ignored.

              Some of those voices were from the intelligence community as well as former administration staff.

                  It was once seen as something of a success story - a region that worked to contain, trace and isolate the virus - leading to a huge drop in numbers. But Hokkaido is in the spotlight again as it struggles to deal with a second wave of infections.

                  In late February, Hokkaido became the first place in Japan to declare a state of emergency due to Covid-19.

                  Schools were closed, large-scale gatherings cancelled and people "encouraged" to stay at home. The local government pursued the virus with determination - aggressively tracing and isolating anyone who'd had contact with victims.

                  The policy worked and by mid-March the number of new cases had fallen back to one or two a day. On 19 March the state of emergency was lifted, and at the beginning of April, schools re-opened.

                  But now, just 26 days after the state of emergency was lifted, a new one has had to be imposed.

                        When something this big is happening and affecting everybody like this, in this day and age, I, personally, find it hard to believe that this thing is something that spread naturally. I'd say it's a weapon. From who? I don't know.
                        I find it too hard to believe something just came out of the blue and stopped the whole world....with all of the scientists and doctors and drug companies and all.

                          4 workers died from coronavirus at a Tyson Foods poultry plant
                          As multiple pork processing facilities across the country shutter due to an increasing number of coronavirus outbreaks among workers, poultry plants may be next.
                          A poultry processing plant in southwest Georgia has reported four employee fatalities as a result of coronavirus infections, according to the Associated Press (AP).
                          The owner of the chicken processing plant is Tyson Foods, which recently closed its pork processing facility in Columbus Junction, Iowa, after multiple employees contracted the novel virus.
                          The company told AP that they have implemented new safety procedures in the Camilla location, including taking employees’ temperatures and requiring face coverings during work.
                          The union representing 2,000 workers at the Camilla plant, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said that many other employees are “sick or in quarantine.”
                          AP notes that the union has further asked poultry plants to require employees to quarantine themselves for the standard 14 days and pay them sick leave when exposed to coworkers who tested positive for the coronavirus.

                                Another article related to this (Cui Bono) as I have said before, who benefits form this certainly isn't China?

                                https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2020/...global-economy



                                "This is very interesting news that Israel is now saying that US intelligence warned them in November about a potentially catastrophic pandemic in Wuhan, China, and apparently other US allies were also warned in November.

                                This confirms what ABC News reported earlier this week and, of course, the Trump administration denied it. You’re not supposed to believe anything until it’s been denied maybe twice or three times. So we'll have to wait for a couple more denials before we can be sure that this is true.

                                But assuming it is—and we’ve got these different sources now telling us that this is true—this is quite mind-blowing, because China did not become aware of this problem until December 31st. So if US intelligence knew that there was a potentially catastrophic pandemic developing in Wuhan, China, in November, it means US intelligence knows what’s happening in Wuhan, China, better than the Chinese do. And the only reason that that would be the case would be if the US had planted the virus there."
