This is the People's Daily. It means the CPC is losing patience with the tsunami of excrement gushing forth from Washington.

1. Regarding the restarted avian influenza virus modification experiment last year, why does the US release no more updates?

2. The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) was previously closed. What is the truth behind that?

3. The US Department of Health and Human Services ran a scenario last year that was similar to the COVID-19 outbreak. Is this just a coincidence?

4. US intelligence officials warned of coronavirus crisis as early as last November. Why was the warning ignored?

5. Among the reported influenza deaths in the US, can the US clarify how many cases are actually infected with COVID-19?

6. When did the novel coronavirus first appear in the US? Did community transmission of the coronavirus start sooner than it was reported?

7. How did the US get the virus strains so soon to start the first human testing of a vaccine against COVID-19?

8. Why did the US government keep downplaying the pandemic while its officials privately dumped stocks?

9. Why are US experts not allowed to discuss COVID-19 in public?

10. What research is being done in the US overseas biological laboratories? Why does the US keep tight-lipped about it?

UPDATE Question No. 11: Why is Trump preventing his own top infectious-diseases expert from testifying to his own Congress?

DR. FAUCI BACKED CONTROVERSIAL WUHAN LAB WITH MILLIONS OF U.S. DOLLARS FOR RISKY CORONAVIRUS RESEARCH

The project proposal states: "We will use S protein sequence data, infectious clone technology, in vitro and in vivo infection experiments and analysis of receptor binding to test the hypothesis that % divergence thresholds in S protein sequences predict spillover potential."

In layman's terms, "spillover potential" refers to the ability of a virus to jump from animals to humans, which requires that the virus be able to attach to receptors in the cells of humans. SARS-CoV-2, for instance, is adept at binding to the ACE2 receptor in human lungs and other organs.

According to Richard Ebright, an infectious disease expert at Rutgers University, the project description refers to experiments that would enhance the ability of bat coronavirus to infect human cells and laboratory animals using techniques of genetic engineering. In the wake of the pandemic, that is a noteworthy detail.

The Trump administration decided to end a $200m early warning program designed to alert it to potential pandemics just three months before it is believed Covid-19 began infecting people in China.

The project, called Predict, had been run by the US Agency for International Development since 2009. It had identified more than 160 different coronaviruses that had the potential to develop into pandemics, including a virus that is considered the closest known relative to Covid-19.

A decision to wind down the program was made, however, in September, just three months before the first reports of people becoming infected with Covid-19 in Wuhan, China. The end of the program saw the departure of dozens of scientists and analysts working to identify potential pandemics in countries around the world, including China.

@Vitaliy....child like behavior is denying the truth, not questioning the denial. Never had a child ? That's what all parents learn. And yes...china was obligated to inform the international community in certain way. I believe that was/is international law. I'm sure we'll hear more about the legal aspects as the lawsuits proceed. Why would you think calling out their duty to inform the world is child-like behavior ? It was their responsibility, both legal and moral. US officials , up until this point, haven't been accused of allowing the virus to become pandemic by hiding fundamental truths ...i.e origin and existence. Trump's attempt to deny the viruses capacity was a stupid and frail attempt at saving the economy, not an attempt to cover his guilt. The virus was already pandemic when it arrived...unless of course someone can prove something about the USa being the true source. Of course, incompetence of their response could always be questioned, could throw them from power, or even be prosecuted...but they didn't let the tiger out of the cage. China did that. The question is....why would you protect them ? https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/coronavirus-china-legal-action-donald-trump-sue-beijing-missouri-mississippi-a9488991.html

@Vitaliy ...I don't agree. The fact is the ccp hid the virus for over a week....fact. They also hid the fact that it was contagious. These events didn't have anything to do with western elite pressitutes, and proves there's good reason, coupled with the fact we know they're trying to hide information about the viruses origin, to not believe a fuxin word they say.

@Vitaliy...but of course they are hiding stuff ....in order to survive.

@jleo...a confabulation of quotes from archive don't contradict the stupid theory put forth in the asiatimes article. In fact occams razor's truth is obvious. And per the kaiser report group, it's easy to see they aren't looking at the whole timeline, and don't mention numbers at all. As per articles saying the USa is under reporting....that could be true, but then ya'll are also saying that everyone but china was over reporting, including whatever cause of death as attributed to corona. So which is it ? I hate to agree with someone like pompeo, but the timeline is clear. And there were a number of anomalies of china's infection and death toll during the timeline that weren't logical, and at the same time chinese citizen journalist saying deaths were much higher, and china didn't respond to questions. Yes, alot of guesses. That's what someone has to do when the information is occulted . It boggles my mind why someone would believe any govt, especially a govt that controls information and arrests bloggers, and puts a million muslims in brainwash school. And not only, but they outlawed publishing any data that researches the viruses source. Next you're going to be telling me the virus escaped at that wet market. I read a chinese propaganda piece the morning feeding the wetmarket crapola. @Vitaliy...while all the evidence is anecdotal, for obvious reasons that people get arrested that contradict the official line, the "urn number" story as well as the "incinerator's going 24/7" story haven't been proven untrue.

@stacyherbert ( co-host of the Keiser Report)

The entire world saw China shutdown the entire city of Wuhan shuttering factories and the economy. Anyone with two eyes and half a brain could see they were ACTING as if this were very serious. I bought masks, hand sanitizer, lysol wipes at the end of January. Why didn't State?

Secretary Pompeo @SecPompeo >Apr 23 .. We strongly believe that #China didn’t report the outbreak of the new #coronavirus in a timely fashion to the @WHO . Even after the CCP did notify the WHO of the coronavirus outbreak, China didn’t share all of the information it had.

If Stacy and myself were able to see the situation clearly and respond early, why couldn’t our government? This isn’t rocket science. The Chinese were acting as if the world had ended in cities across the country and we’re supposed to believe U.S. leaders simply listened to what the CCP was saying as opposed to what they were doing? How does that make any sense?

It makes even less sense considering the Trump administration has been in an explicit cold war with China for almost two years. This concept that the American national security state just took China’s word for what was going on in the early days is preposterous. So what’s going on here? Similar to Russiagate, the increased focus on directing our ten minutes of hate at the Chinese provides cover for the elites, but Chinagate is far more dangerous because the narrative will prove far more convincing for many Americans.

China could have 50 times more coronavirus cases than claimed, Trump administration official says

Officials point to the existence of seven funeral homes inside Wuhan city with a total incineration capacity of about 2,000 corpses per day. They also flag recent reporting that incinerators have been in near-constant use for 24 hours per day over the past several weeks. They note that, at this rate, the city's incineration capacity nears 60,000 corpses per month.

I think CIA match overall US officials level lately.

Trump made the comments from the Rose Garden at the White House Monday after he was pressed by a reporter over a German newspaper report suggesting that China should be issued a $160 billion invoice for the impact on Europe's economy.

The president responded he had a "much easier" idea: "We have ways of doing things a lot easier than that," Trump told the coronavirus press briefing. "Germany’s looking at things, and we’re looking at things, and we’re talking about a lot more money than Germany’s talking about."

"We haven’t determined the final amount yet. It’s very substantial," Trump added, suggesting it would be significantly more than the $160 billion floated in German media.

My personal prediction - US will demand China to supply all products for free for at least 2-3 years.

The argument that Birx and Trump were making was clear. China’s number was way out of line with the others, lower by more than a factor of 10. Therefore, China’s report was a lie. But in her chart Birx omitted data coming from countries of East Asia and nearby that have been praised by the US media for their performance and whose data are unquestioned in the West. Here are some relevant omitted data, taken again from The New York Times of April 19, with China included again for comparison.

Deaths per 100,000 population

South Korea: 0.5

Japan: 0.5

Australia: 0.3

China: 0.3

Singapore: 0.2

Taiwan: < 0.1

Hong Kong: < 0.1

China’s number falls right into line with that of neighboring countries. Birx’s exercise, in fact, is a classic example of lying by omission, a half-truth being a full lie.
