Despite months of constant news coverage telling the public the source of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was seafood markets located in Wuhan , China , mounting evidence indicates the origin of the virus may be related to joint research funded by the United States and Chinese governments .
New records viewed by the Mail on Sunday , studies examining the outbreak of the virus , and questions posed by an increasing amount of researchers are poking holes in the narrative put forth by the government and media .
On Saturday , Mail on Sunday reported that scientists with the Wuhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of a project funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) .
The Mail reported that they have obtained documents detailing the relationship between the Wuhan Institute and the NIH , including the use of U.S. funding to carry out research on bats .
The Wuhan Institute also worked with the University of Alabama , the University of North Texas , Harvard University , and the National Wildlife Federation .
The documents reportedly detail how the U.S. government provided a $ 3.7 million grant for the Wuhan Institute to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yunnan , more than 1,000 miles away from Wuhan .
According to the Mail , scientists working with funds from the U.S. NIH grew a strain of coronavirus in a lab and injected it into piglets .
The report also states that after some piglets died they were fed to the remaining piglets .
The importance of the connection to the caves in Yunnan can not be overstated .
According to a genetic analysis of the novel coronavirus ’ genome , it is “ 96 % identical at the whole-genome level to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin , ” also connected CoViD-19 to a coronavirus originating from Yunnan .
The study stated , “ We then found that a short region of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase ( RdRp ) from a bat coronavirus ( BatCoV RaTG13 ) —which was previously detected in Rhinolophus affinis from Yunnan province—showed high sequence identity to 2019-nCoV.
” Following the revelations , U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz called for an end to U.S. government funding of “ cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the global spread of CoViD-19.
” While these new revelations counter the mainstream narrative regarding the origin of the virus , they line up with previous studies .
In late February , UPI reported that Chinese authorities said the first patient known to contract the novel coronavirus had no connection to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan .
“ Eastern Broadcasting Co. and Liberty Times reported Thursday that China ’ s first patient had shown symptoms of CoViD-19 as early as Dec. 8 .
Chinese authorities have previously said the outbreak began on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Additionally , UPI reported that a research team with China ’ s Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden , Huanan Agricultural College , and the Chinese Institute for Brain Research have also said the seafood market is not the source of CoViD-19 .
Both the U.S. and Chinese governments have been tight lipped on potential alternative explanations for the origin of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and CoViD-19 , the resulting disease .
Both nations have also been quick to dismiss the idea that either were involved in developing any sort of germ or biowarfare—except when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In fact , a recent report from the Guardian details how two websites for Chinese universities recently published and then removed pages referencing a new policy requiring all academic papers related to CoViD-19 to be submitted for extra vetting prior to publication .
“ In terms of priority , controlling the narrative is more important than the public health or the economic fallout , ” he said .
“ It doesn ’ t mean the economy and public health aren ’ t important .
But the narrative is paramount , ” Prof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China Institute in London , told the Guardian .
What About the Harvard Arrests ?
The revelations regarding the U.S. funding of Chinese research into viruses spawned from bats and the attempts at controlling the narrative are sure to rekindle theories regarding the arrests of a Harvard professor who has been accused of lying about his connections to the Chinese government ’ s Thousand Talents Plan , an effort to attract Chinese scientists and entrepreneurs back to their homeland .
Harvard department chair Charles Lieber is alleged to have accepted more than $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese government .
Harvard University called the charges against him “ extremely serious.
” Lieber was arrested on January 28 .
Two Chinese nationals were also charged including Zaosong Zheng who was detained on December 30 and Yanqing Ye who is currently in China .
Although there is not yet clear evidence that Lieber was arrested in relation to research related to COVID-19 , his arrest does deserve further scrutiny .
According to the statement from the Department of Justice , since 2008 Lieber received more than $ 15,000,000 in grant funding from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ require the disclosure of “ significant foreign financial conflicts of interest.
” The complaint states that beginning in 2011 Lieber also became a “ ’ Strategic Scientist ’ at Wuhan University of Technology ( WUT ) in China and was a contractual participant in China ’ s Thousand Talents Plan from in or about 2012 to 2017.
” This complaint connects Lieber to research in Wuhan , his involvement with the NIH—which was also funding Chinese research into bats—and makes clear his involvement with the Thousand Talents Plan .
The DOJ describes the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most prominent Chinese Talent recruit plans that are designed to attract , recruit , and cultivate high-level scientific talent in furtherance of China ’ s scientific development , economic prosperity and national security .
These talent programs seek to lure Chinese overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China and reward individuals for stealing proprietary information.
” Although the complaint alleges that Lieber lied about his involvement in the program in April 2018—prior to the CoViD19 outbreak—his involvement with the program continued into 2019 .
If Lieber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bats , or secretly funneling out U.S. research into viruses , he would have been working on such matters prior to the outbreak .
Although FactCheck states that , “ While his work has recently focused on coming up with novel ways of using nanowires in cells , he is not a biologist , nor does he have expertise in viruses , ” a 2004 report quotes Lieber as researching nanowires for detecting the presence of virus .
Coincidentally , Lieber himself states , “ Viruses are among the most important causes of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as possible agents of biowarfare and bioterrorism.
” Nature Index recently reported that during an April 2018 hearing organized by the U.S. House of Representatives , Michael Wessel , the commissioner of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission , asked Congress to cut federal grants , loans , or other assistance to participants of the Thousand Talents Plan .
Representative Lamar Smith , chairman of the House Committee on Science , Space and Technology , also warned that China was using “ sleeper agents at our research universities to steal our scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Francis Collins , director of the NIH , sent a letter to thousands of research institutes on August 20 , 2018 , warning that foreign nations were attempting to use “ systematic programs to influence NIH researchers and peer reviewers.
” When considering these warnings in conjunction with Lieber ’ s arrest and involvement with the Thousand Talents Plan , it ’ s easy to understand why some readers and researchers believe there might be an as yet unproven connection between Lieber , the U.S. NIH funding of experiments in China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to influence scientists within the United States .
The U.S. and Chinese governments have both been accused of lying about the true impact of SARS-CoV-19 and the public has an increasing distrust for media reports that are often seen as exaggerated or downplayed .
All of this begs the following questions : Was Lieber involved with the research into bats found in the caves of Yunnan ?
What was the true nature of the U.S.-government sponsored experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology ?
How deep did this collaboration between the governments go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of SARS-CoV-19 and COVID-19 relate to these experiments ?
The answers to these questions remain to be seen , but the public must continue to question the narratives that are being spun right in front of our eyes .

Harvard department chair Charles Lieber is alleged to have accepted more than $1 million in grant money from the Chinese government. Harvard University called the charges against him “extremely serious.” Lieber was arrested on January 28. Two Chinese nationals were also charged including Zaosong Zheng who was detained on December 30 and Yanqing Ye who is currently in China.

weareanonymous--2020-04-14--A Shocking 17 Million Americans Have Filed For Unemployment In Past 3 Weeks

Two weeks ago it was a record 3.3 million initial claims ; last week it was an additional ( upwardly revised ) 6.875 million in initial claims , and this week another 6.606 million claims ( almost exactly our expectation of 6.5 million ) .
That is a shocking 16.78 million people who have applied for unemployment benefits in the last three weeks .
And of course , last week ’ s “ initial ” claims and this week ’ s “ continuing ” claims… the highest level of continuing claims ever .
The three-week tally implies an unemployment rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , surpassing the 10 % peak reached in the wake of the last recession .
Put another way , we have lost 1132 jobs for every confirmed US death from COVID-19 ( 14,817 ) .
This is simply stunning .
“ The U.S. labor market is in free-fall , ” said Gregory Daco , chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics in New York .
“ The prospect of more stringent lockdown measures and the fact that many states have not yet been able to process the full amount of jobless claim applications suggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And another important note is that weekly jobless claims data are based on “ hard facts ” , UBS points out , which is subject to quirks around : a ) some of the treatment of supply chains , which has flattered data , b ) the fact that many respondents will not be replying to surveys during the virus disruption period , and c ) survey data will give more accurate assessments during ‘ normal ’ times , perhaps not as much in unusual times .
Of course , the government is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ result of the freshly-passed ‘ relief ’ bill , self-employed and gig-workers who previously were unable to claim unemployment benefits are now eligible .
In addition , the unemployed will get up to $ 600 per week for up to four months , which is equivalent to $ 15 per hour for a 40-hour workweek .
By comparison , the government-mandated minimum wage is about $ 7.25 per hour and the average jobless benefits payment was roughly $ 385 per person per month at the start of this year .
“ Why work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financially and health wise ?
” said a Sung Won Sohn , a business economics professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles .
With more than 80 % of Americans under some form of lockdown , up from less than 50 % a couple of weeks ago , this is far from over .
Picking up on our analysis from last week , BofA notes that data from Google Trends reveals further pickup in searches for “ unemployment benefits ” and “ filing for unemployment , ” which could argue for even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the final numbers will likely be worsened due to the bailout itself : as a reminder , the Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security ( CARES ) Act , passed on March 27 , could contribute to new records being reached in coming weeks as it increases eligibility for jobless claims to self-employed and gig workers , extends the maximum number of weeks that one can receive benefits , and provides an additional $ 600 per week until July 31 .
A recent WSJ article noted that this has created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their employees , knowing that they will be covered financially as the economy is shutdown .
Meanwhile , those making below $ 50k will generally be made whole and possibly be better off on unemployment benefits .
Amazon Bans Sale Of N95 And Surgical Masks To General Public – Where Can I Buy N95 Masks Now ?
Amazon has banned the sale of N95 and surgical masks to the general public , claiming it would restrict sales to hospitals and government organizations dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic .
The ban took effect April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the company said in a forum for Amazon sellers that the ban includes “ facial shields , surgical gowns , surgical gloves , and large-volume sanitizers.
” Ok , but where can I Buy N95 masks now ?
With Pharmacies , Walmart and nearly all other physical stores out of stock , Amazon out of the game and ebay selling mostly gas masks from China , there ’ s not much place left to buy N95 masks to protect yourself in th Covid-19 crisis and even if they claim to sell N95 masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks that won ’ t offer any protection at all : As you may already know , the Darknet is selling pretty much everything that is hard to get by in stores or completely illegal .
So even if you come by to find a shady shop or entity selling overpriced masks , you never know if they really are what they are advertised ( N95 standard ) and work and you also never know if they will ever arrive .
However , there are still some online shops that are selling the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them being a small company called Amazyble.com .
Should I Wear Face Masks in Public ?
Here ’ s What Science Says With the coronavirus pandemic quickly spreading , U.S. health officials have changed their advice on face masks and now recommend people wear cloth masks in public areas where social distancing can be difficult , such as grocery stores .
Research on SARS , another coronavirus , found that N95 masks were highly effective at blocking transmission of that virus .
Even ill-fitting medical face masks have been found to interrupt airborne @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reaching as far when someone sneezes .
The universal use of mouth and nose covering with masks is a low-risk intervention that can only assist in reducing the spread of this terrible illness .
If everyone wears a mask , individuals protect one another , reducing overall community transmission .
It could even remind people not to touch their faces after touching potentially contaminated surfaces .

Two weeks ago it was a record 3.3 million initial claims; last week it was an additional (upwardly revised) 6.875 million in initial claims, and this week another 6.606 million claims (almost exactly our expectation of 6.5 million).
That is a shocking 16.78 million people who have applied for unemployment benefits in the last three weeks. And of course, last week’s “initial” claims and this week’s “continuing” claims… the highest level of continuing claims ever.
The three-week tally implies an unemployment rate of around 13% or 14%, surpassing the 10% peak reached in the wake of the last recession. Put another way, we have lost 1132 jobs for every confirmed US death from COVID-19 (14,817) . This is simply stunning.
“The U.S. labor market is in free-fall,” said Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics in New York.
“The prospect of more stringent lockdown measures and the fact that many states have not yet been able to process the full amount of jobless claim applications suggest the worst is still to come.”
And another important note is that weekly jobless claims data are based on “hard facts”, UBS points out, unlike survey data
which is subject to quirks around:
a) some of the treatment of supply chains, which has flattered data,
b) the fact that many respondents will not be replying to surveys during the virus disruption period, and
c) survey data will give more accurate assessments during ‘normal’ times, perhaps not as much in unusual times.
Of course, the government is coming to the rescue. As a result of the freshly-passed ‘relief’ bill, self-employed and gig-workers who previously were unable to claim unemployment benefits are now eligible. In addition, the unemployed will get up to $600 per week for up to four months, which is equivalent to $15 per hour for a 40-hour workweek. By comparison, the government-mandated minimum wage is about $7.25 per hour and the average jobless benefits payment was roughly $385 per person per month at the start of this year.
“Why work when one is better off not working financially and health wise?” said a Sung Won Sohn, a business economics professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
With more than 80% of Americans under some form of lockdown, up from less than 50% a couple of weeks ago, this is far from over.
Picking up on our analysis from last week, BofA notes that data from Google Trends reveals further pickup in searches for “unemployment benefits” and “filing for unemployment,” which could argue for even more upside from here.

“What mother wants to lose their baby to a virus that we can’t see?” she said. “For $20.64 they could’ve bought a box of gloves to give them. They could’ve kept that paycheck. She did this from her heart, not for the money.”
In response to Shepherd’s MSNBC interview, Giant Food said at the time of Jordan’s last day of work, the CDC was not recommending associates or customers wear masks, so they were not being provided by the stores.
“The CDC has recently updated its recommendations and we have supplied all of our associates with plastic shields to wear if they choose,” the company said in an email to CBS News. The company said stores always had hand sanitizer and/or cleaning products available. Employees have also always been allowed to wear gloves, but are only mandated to do so if they work as a food service associate, Giant Food said.
The company said it has been “supporting Leilani’s family during this difficult time and have been in direct contact with her mother to address her needs.”
“Our Giant Food family is mourning Leilani’s passing, along with her family, as she was a valued associate who has been part of our Giant Food family since 2016,” the statement reads. “Caring for associates in times of need is at the heart of our commitment to our associates. We are committed to providing resources and support to Leilani’s family during this difficult time.”
The company said that as an essential business, it is “committed to providing food and essential products to our communities, but we want our team to stay home if they are having any symptoms and feel unwell or are uncomfortable coming to work.”
This week, Giant Food announced on its website that it was implementing additional social distancing policies in all of its stores, limiting the number of customers allowed in at a time and making aisles one-way traffic only.
Jordan’s family has made a website to memorialize her, writing that they are facing medical bills and need assistance caring for her service dog, “who has become part of the family.” They have started a GoFundMe to raise funds for medical bills and Jordan’s funeral.

weareanonymous--2020-04-12--“This Should Trouble Us Deeply” – Chilling Documentary Maps Out Likely Origin Of COVID-19

While The Epoch Times began publishing reports of the CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ) virus on Jan. 2 , most outlets had yet to pick up on the story because of the CCP ’ s lockdown on information .
Three months later , over 200 countries and territories have been infected and the CCP virus has caused over 85,000 deaths infecting at least 1.4 million , but information is murkier than ever .
“ We ’ ve pretty much heard every rumor under the sun .
We ’ ve heard every theory , every crazy rumor , we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said Joshua Philipp , award-winning investigative reporter and host of the show “ Crossroads.
” The rumors aren ’ t by accident : The CCP has been actively engaging in a disinformation campaign , and media outlets around the world have parroted the propaganda .

The result is the just-premiered documentary “ Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus , ” which is available to watch online .
Less than two days after its premiere , the documentary has around 1.6 million views across different platforms .

In it , Philipp pieces together the development of the virus and includes interviews that shed light on the Chinese regime ’ s actions and intentions .
It should be very telling that the nine-person panel the CCP created to address the pandemic , once it finally acknowledged the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ propaganda officials , said China affairs columnist Gordon Chang in the documentary .
Many countries have accepted or bought faulty equipment from China , for example , and “ they ’ re getting duped , ” Philipp said .
“ And , of course , this is because they don ’ t understand the Chinese Communist Party , they don ’ t understand how [ the CCP ] works , and , even as we speak right now , the Chinese Communist Party is claiming it ’ s over in China when it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows , the CCP ’ s delay in sharing information about the virus with other countries was not mere oversight .
And beyond covering up the epidemic , China ’ s current actions and disinformation continues to endanger lives around the globe .
The CCP has gone from denying the existence of the virus to spreading as many lies as it can to obscure the truth .
Why Would the CCP Lie ?
From the beginning , the CCP has not been forthcoming .
“ We don ’ t know what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Communist Party is covering this up should trouble us deeply , ” Chang said .
Those unfamiliar with the CCP will likely be shocked to discover the regime ’ s motives .
Philipp ’ s investigation of the CCP virus in this documentary goes back to the outbreak of SARS nearly two decades ago .
The CCP tried to cover up the SARS outbreak as well , and The Epoch Times was one of the few media to expose this .
There is precedent of the regime being untrustworthy in the event of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the CCP since 2008 , and gave an example of its military approach to shed light on how the CCP can profit off this pandemic most consider a tragedy .
“ One important thing to understand is they talk about war without morals .
They talk about ‘ unrestricted warfare ’ : war that does not take into account any concept of human rights , human dignity , human life .
It is victory by any means .
There is nothing they will not do , and we see the same thing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the medical system where altering the human genome is not a big deal to them , ” Philipp said .
The documentary ’ s experts remind us : this is a nation that currently holds at least 1 million of its own people in concentration camps .
“ They don ’ t care about human life when it comes to this regime—we ’ ve seen that in their human rights abuses , ” Philipp said .
The documentary shows another link to SARS , and how one of China ’ s top virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan Institute of Virology led to breakthroughs in creating a coronavirus to infect humans .
But to what end ?
“ The Chinese Communist Party has been very open about its biological warfare ambitions , they don ’ t even try to hide it .
And it ’ s been a huge injustice that people have not held them to stronger account than they should have , because the Chinese Communist Party is able to act with impunity and nobody criticizes what they do , ” Philipp said .
The documentary is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and what has happened , and Philipp hopes it can allow nations to make better-informed decisions .
The information is perhaps more vital than ever , because while countries are turning to the World Health Organization for information , WHO is turning to the CCP .
General Robert Spalding , senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former National Security Council senior strategy director , was in China when SARS broke out ; he was evacuated , but he knows what a cover-up looks like .
How the CCP handled the SARS cover-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one .
He is among several experts who say the CCP clearly has no intention of ending the epidemic or curing the virus .
“ You can see that the WHO is essentially following the Chinese Communist Party ’ s guidelines , ” Spalding said .
The WHO isn ’ t the only organization doing so ; international organizations to individual academic institutions around the world are afraid to say something that may anger the CCP .
In recent weeks , Philipp had reached out many well-known scientists who once suggested the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a lab , but they no longer wanted to talk .
From the beginning , the CCP prevented organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from studying the origin of COVID-19 , Gordon Chang said .
The CCP ’ s actions speak to a problem deeper than the virus .
“ Every country has diseases , but in China they become national emergencies and global emergencies , because the real disease here is communism , ” Chang said .

While The Epoch Times began publishing reports of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus on Jan. 2, most outlets had yet to pick up on the story because of the CCP’s lockdown on information. Three months later, over 200 countries and territories have been infected and the CCP virus has caused over 85,000 deaths infecting at least 1.4 million, but information is murkier than ever.
“We’ve pretty much heard every rumor under the sun. We’ve heard every theory, every crazy rumor, we’ve heard all these different narratives,” said Joshua Philipp, award-winning investigative reporter and host of the show “Crossroads.”
The rumors aren’t by accident: The CCP has been actively engaging in a disinformation campaign, and media outlets around the world have parroted the propaganda. As a result, entire nations have been operating under false information as they try to battle the pandemic within their borders.

Lives at Stake
It should be very telling that the nine-person panel the CCP created to address the pandemic, once it finally acknowledged the virus in January, is filled with propaganda officials, said China affairs columnist Gordon Chang in the documentary.
Many countries have accepted or bought faulty equipment from China, for example, and “they’re getting duped,” Philipp said.
“And, of course, this is because they don’t understand the Chinese Communist Party, they don’t understand how [the CCP] works, and, even as we speak right now, the Chinese Communist Party is claiming it’s over in China when it’s not.”
“And what that means is, as they open things up and reopen flights, there’s a major risk to other countries,” Philipp said. “If [these countries] don’t have accurate information, then what can they base their information on?”
As the documentary shows, the CCP’s delay in sharing information about the virus with other countries was not mere oversight. And beyond covering up the epidemic, China’s current actions and disinformation continues to endanger lives around the globe. The CCP has gone from denying the existence of the virus to spreading as many lies as it can to obscure the truth.
“This is an issue of human life,” Philipp said.
Why Would the CCP Lie?
From the beginning, the CCP has not been forthcoming.
“We don’t know what’s there, but the fact that the Communist Party is covering this up should trouble us deeply,” Chang said.
Those unfamiliar with the CCP will likely be shocked to discover the regime’s motives.
Philipp’s investigation of the CCP virus in this documentary goes back to the outbreak of SARS nearly two decades ago. The CCP tried to cover up the SARS outbreak as well, and The Epoch Times was one of the few media to expose this. There is precedent of the regime being untrustworthy in the event of an epidemic.
Philipp has been researching the CCP since 2008, and gave an example of its military approach to shed light on how the CCP can profit off this pandemic most consider a tragedy.
“One important thing to understand is they talk about war without morals. They talk about ‘unrestricted warfare’: war that does not take into account any concept of human rights, human dignity, human life. It is victory by any means. There is nothing they will not do, and we see the same thing in many parts of their system, including the medical system where altering the human genome is not a big deal to them,” Philipp said.
The documentary’s experts remind us: this is a nation that currently holds at least 1 million of its own people in concentration camps.
“They don’t care about human life when it comes to this regime—we’ve seen that in their human rights abuses,” Philipp said.
The documentary shows another link to SARS, and how one of China’s top virus experts’ study of SARS at the Wuhan Institute of Virology led to breakthroughs in creating a coronavirus to infect humans. But to what end?
“The Chinese Communist Party has been very open about its biological warfare ambitions, they don’t even try to hide it. And it’s been a huge injustice that people have not held them to stronger account than they should have, because the Chinese Communist Party is able to act with impunity and nobody criticizes what they do,” Philipp said.
The documentary is a comprehensive look at what the virus is and what has happened, and Philipp hopes it can allow nations to make better-informed decisions.
Talking Points
The information is perhaps more vital than ever, because while countries are turning to the World Health Organization for information, WHO is turning to the CCP.
General Robert Spalding, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former National Security Council senior strategy director, was in China when SARS broke out; he was evacuated, but he knows what a cover-up looks like. How the CCP handled the SARS cover-up is exactly how they have handled this one. He is among several experts who say the CCP clearly has no intention of ending the epidemic or curing the virus.
“You can see that the WHO is essentially following the Chinese Communist Party’s guidelines,” Spalding said.
The WHO isn’t the only organization doing so; international organizations to individual academic institutions around the world are afraid to say something that may anger the CCP. In recent weeks, Philipp had reached out many well-known scientists who once suggested the virus causing this mysterious COVID-19 disease was created in a lab, but they no longer wanted to talk.
From the beginning, the CCP prevented organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from studying the origin of COVID-19, Gordon Chang said.
The CCP’s actions speak to a problem deeper than the virus.
“Every country has diseases, but in China they become national emergencies and global emergencies, because the real disease here is communism,” Chang said.

Amazon Bans Sale Of N95 And Surgical Masks To General Public – Where Can I Buy N95 Masks Now?
Amazon has banned the sale of N95 and surgical masks to the general public, claiming it would restrict sales to hospitals and government organizations dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ban took effect April 1, according to Recode, after the company said in a forum for Amazon sellers that the ban includes “facial shields, surgical gowns, surgical gloves, and large-volume sanitizers.”
Ok, but where can I Buy N95 masks now?
With Pharmacies, Walmart and nearly all other physical stores out of stock, Amazon out of the game and ebay selling mostly gas masks from China, there’s not much place left to buy N95 masks to protect yourself in th Covid-19 crisis and even if they claim to sell N95 masks, it’s mostly cheap fake masks that won’t offer any protection at all:
As you may already know, the Darknet is selling pretty much everything that is hard to get by in stores or completely illegal. So even if you come by to find a shady shop or entity selling overpriced masks, you never know if they really are what they are advertised (N95 standard) and work and you also never know if they will ever arrive. However, there are still some online shops that are selling the very last N95 masks, one of them being a small company called Amazyble.com.
Should I Wear Face Masks in Public? Here’s What Science Says
With the coronavirus pandemic quickly spreading, U.S. health officials have changed their advice on face masks and now recommend people wear cloth masks in public areas where social distancing can be difficult, such as grocery stores.
Research on SARS, another coronavirus, found that N95 masks were highly effective at blocking transmission of that virus. Even ill-fitting medical face masks have been found to interrupt airborne particles and viruses, keeping them from reaching as far when someone sneezes.
The universal use of mouth and nose covering with masks is a low-risk intervention that can only assist in reducing the spread of this terrible illness. If everyone wears a mask, individuals protect one another, reducing overall community transmission. It could even remind people not to touch their faces after touching potentially contaminated surfaces.
