Category: Wuhan Flu

The World Health Organization declared the outbreak sparked by a new virus in China that has spread to more than a dozen countries as a global emergency Thursday after the number of cases spiked more than tenfold in a week.

The U.N. health agency defines an international emergency as an “extraordinary event” that constitutes a risk to other countries and requires a coordinated international response.

Unrelated: BUT THE FLU! BUT THE FLU!. I’m not sure why the Official Establishment Calmers keep talking about the flu. Thousands die each week from cancer, too. So what?

More.

2) As mentioned earlier, the new #coronavirus has now exceeded SARS’s 8000 cases. It took SARS 3 month, but the new 🦠 just 1 month. https://t.co/QGvL9syy26 https://t.co/jPu4hbqgqr

A longer discussion from Jan.24th here.

And then, there’s this thread.

“Where did the 🦠 come from?” is one of the most asked questions. First, I don’t like unsupported conspiracy theories, but it’s a lingering question. @sciencemagazine examined this based on Lancet article. Nobody knows, but seafood market isn’t whole story https://t.co/z8YFaWNHP8

And finally, someone who truly deserves to catch this thing. For the planet.

So patient had symptoms on plane. Didn’t report/say anything until 911 is called days later. Even then paramedics aren’t told. But AFTER the fact follows protocol?! And officials say that shows system works? Gotcha!

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

China may have used its status as a major superpower to pressure the World Health Organisation into not declaring international emergency over coronavirus https://t.co/w27pL9FeX5 #coronavirusoutbreak

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD – the new coronavirus is a 3.8!!! How bad is that reproductive R0 value? It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad – never seen an actual virality coefficient outside of Twitter in my entire career.

Not a good time to be an anti-vaxxer. Let’s hope one comes soon.

Washington Times;

The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.

Radio Free Asia this week rebroadcast a local Wuhan television report from 2015 showing China’s most advanced virus research laboratory known the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Radio Free Asia reported.

The laboratory is the only declared site in China capable of working with deadly viruses.

Flashback: Bio-warfare experts question why Canada was sending lethal viruses to China

In a table-top pandemic exercise at Johns Hopkins University last year, a pathogen based on the emerging Nipah virus was released by fictional extremists, killing 150 million people.

A less apocalyptic scenario mapped out by a blue-ribbon U.S. panel envisioned Nipah being dispersed by terrorists and claiming over 6,000 American lives.

Scientists from Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) have also said the highly lethal bug is a potential bio-weapon.

But this March that same lab shipped samples of the henipavirus family and of Ebola to China, which has long been suspected of running a secretive biological warfare (BW) program.

No way on earth this could be related: The World Health Organization says it will decide on Thursday whether to declare a global emergency over the outbreak of a new flu-like virus spreading from China.

Update.

BREAKING: Chinese officials say a 4th city, Xianning with a population of 2.5 million, will be put on lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus
