The “official” Coronavirus case count in China has hovered around 80,000 for about a month. Is it true though? In a new article, the UK government seems to think not. Not even close:

There is particular irritation in Downing Street about attempts to falsely blame a US Army delegation to the city of Wuhan, the outbreak’s epicentre, for causing the crisis.

A source said: ‘There is a disgusting disinformation campaign going on and it is unacceptable. They [the Chinese government] know they have got this badly wrong and rather than owning it they are spreading lies.’

Mr Johnson has been warned by scientific advisers that China’s officially declared statistics on the number of cases of coronavirus could be ‘downplayed by a factor of 15 to 40 times’. And No 10 believes China is seeking to build its economic power during the pandemic with ‘predatory offers of help’ countries around the world.

Of course, the Chinese Communist officials also know that the more disinformation they spew out, the more it’ll be distributed by a sizable minority of Americans who are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Though no scientific studies have yet been done, there appear to be growing anecdotal evidence linking TDS with decreased cognitive ability and apparent loss of logic and common sense. So it’s clearly a win-win from their perspective!

FDA Issues Emergency Authorization for the Use of Hydroxychloroquine to Combat Coronavirus Effective Immediately…

And in France;

“The French government has officially sanctioned prescriptions of chloroquine to treat certain coronavirus patients,” France 24 English reported Saturday.
 
“This ensures continued treatment of patients who have been treated for several years for a chronic condition with this drug, but also allows a temporary authorization to allow certain patients with coronavirus to benefit from this therapeutic route,” said France’s director general of health Jérôme Salomon.
 
The move comes after infectious diseases specialist Didier Raoult announced new clinical results, which can be accessed here, that show 78 out of 80 patients treated with chloroquine recovered within five days, reported Trustnodes.

More here: Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan has announced that there is preliminary evidence showing that “hydroxychloroquine kills the coronavirus.”

Of course… The Democrats, the media, and people who despise the president don’t want these trials to succeed. Three Democrat governors have gone so far as to ban the use of the drug cocktail. And one has even threatened action against doctors who prescribe it.

No one at SDA is dispensing medical advice but if you or a loved one are suffering from Covid-19 symptoms, you may very well want to bring this and this to the attention of your physician. h/t Quicksilver

Anyone who has been watching Scott Adams’ twice-daily videos will have heard that, in his opinion, the US and other governments are deliberately holding off on any definitive proclamations of Hydroxychloroquine/Azithromycin/Zinc sulfate being a cure for Covid-19 until there is sufficient supply of these drugs available. Let’s hope that, behind the scenes, production is being ramped up very quickly.

Remember, the chinese military school in Wuhan issued a “Lockdown Notice” on Jan 2nd, 2020. This lockdown was issued a FULL 18 days before the chinese communist party admitted to an epidemic. It’s now clear that the CCP was busy buying up all N95 masks and gear globally. https://t.co/QIfqbAChsq

Do you believe the Covid-19 numbers coming out of China? If so, can we interest you in some swamp land in Florida, Mr/Ms Naive Rube?

It is an embarrassing scene. @WHO Director General, Bruce Aylward, hangs up in an interview with RTHK when he is asked about reconsidering Taiwan’s membership. Ironically, despite being so close to China, Taiwan manages to keep the #coronavirus infection and fatality rate low. pic.twitter.com/bFWRXpCyHN

Genuine good news.

This is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.

I look forward to the day when we return to normal, and the public can go back to bashing big pharma.
