Chinese government sensors have been rapidly erasing the report from the Chinese internet.
According to the Caixin report, several genomics companies were able to sequence the Wuhan virus by December 27 from samples from patients who became sick in Wuhan.
There was a startling resemblance between the new virus and the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) coronavirus that claimed the lives of 800 people from 2002 to 2003. However, this news was only shared with a small group of medical professionals and party officials.
The laboratory findings were sent to officials in Beijing at the Centre for Disease Control (CDC). The information was supposed to have alerted national health leaders about a looming crisis. Instead, on January 3, the National Health Commission, China’s leading medical authority, issued its own gagging orders. Laboratories were instructed to not release any information and to turn over or destroy the samples.

ICE Shutting Down Most Immigration Enforcement During Coronavirus Epidemic
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Officers arrested 271 criminal aliens last week in an enforcement action targeting individuals who pose a threat to public safety and immigration violations. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers made the arrests across the state of Florida, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Wednesday that the agency would cease most of its immigration enforcement operations during the nationwide coronavirus emergency, a move that leaves many spectators concerned about the possibility of illegal aliens taking advantage of the agency’s freeze.
An official ICE statement on the change in approach confirmed that for the time being, the agency is returning to its old Obama Administration-era priority of focusing solely on illegals with felony convictions. The vast majority of illegal immigrants won’t be targeted for immigration enforcement during this time.
The agency will not “will not carry out enforcement operations at or near health care facilities, such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, accredited health clinics, and emergent or urgent care facilities, except in the most extraordinary of circumstances.”
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) “will exercise discretion to delay enforcement actions until after the crisis or utilize alternatives to detention, as appropriate.”
At the very least, immigration enforcement actions by the agency are being delayed until the presence of the virus passes over.
The approach is similar to that adopted by the law enforcement agencies of several major American cities. Philadelphia’s District Attorney and Police Department have already issued an internal memorandum ordering that individuals committing nominally “petty” crimes such as burglary, vandalism, property theft and prostitution won’t be arrested during the height of the pandemic. Officers will instead retain their information for criminal prosecution at a later date.
However, Customs and Border Patrol is said to be turning away all asylum seekers and illegal immigrants seeking access at the nation’s borders. Federal refugee resettlement has also been suspended for the time being.

Allowing a free path to residency for China’s richest multi-millionaires and billionaires almost certainly would provide the Chinese government a means of entryism into major American institutions and society, in an age where the American public is more distrustful and skeptical of Chinese influence than ever before.

American citizenship is not a mere bauble to be offered for sale in a time of crisis, especially considering the EB-5’s dubious benefits on the American economy. The verification mechanisms for the visa recipients’ investments in American jobs are notoriously weak, to the extent that both major parties agreed to scale back the program last year.

Levitt has gained international attention in recent weeks thanks to his successful prediction of the rate of infection slowing down in mainland China last month.
By looking at statistics on the infection rates and the number of deaths, Levitt identified a limited growth pattern, indicating that instead of the infection rate increasing exponentially, it has started tailing off.

Levitt believes that it is almost impossible to do country by country comparisons, because each government is recording cases in a different matter.

Biden Wants a Woman as VP to Promote Government-Sponsored Baby Killing
On Sunday, March 15, 2020, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to name a woman as his vice-presidential running mate.
In addition, the former vice president promised to appoint the first black woman to the Supreme Court if he’s elected. He also indicated that he is no longer against the the Hyde Amendment, which bans the federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger.
“If I’m elected president my cabinet, my administration, will look like the country,” Biden remarked. “And I commit that I will in fact appoint a – I’d pick a woman to be vice president. There are a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow. I would pick a woman to be my vice president.”

bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-20--Brazilian ‘Christ the Redeemer’ Statue Illuminated With Flags of Nations Fighting Coronavirus

The Chinese communist regime is owning up to their mistreatment of the 34-year-old ophthalmologist Li Wenliang , a COVID-19 coronavirus whistleblower who would go on to lose his life because of the illness .
Wenliang was the man who attempted to alert Chinese officials and the greater public about the spread of the coronavirus , but was brutally suppressed and silenced by the communist regime .
If they had listened to Wenliang and taken measures immediately in December when he discovered the virus , an untold number of people could have avoided the coronavirus infection .
Investigators in Beijing have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and failed to follow “ proper law enforcement procedure ” when they reprimanded Wenliang and accused him of “ spreading rumors ” in January when people were already dying because of the pandemic .
While this is a good first step toward accountability , the Chinese have much more to account for because of the myriad ways they mishandled their response to the virus .
take our poll - story continues below They pulled the wool over the eyes of the globalist World Health Organization ( WHO ) , an internationalist body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worldwide pandemics .
Sen. Tom Cotton ( R-AR ) has led the push in Washington D.C. to make sure China is held accountable for their despicable behavior regarding the coronavirus that has jeopardized the health of every individual on the planet .
“ When Chinese Internet users flooded social media with indignation following Dr. Li ’ s death , their cries were scrubbed from the Internet by the Communist Party ’ s army of censors .
When a Chinese human-rights activist called for Chairman Xi to step down , he was detained and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Journal columnist Walter Russell Mead wrote a bracing article about the Chinese Communist Party ’ s failure to contain the coronavirus , the Communist Party kicked three of the paper ’ s reporters out of the country , ” Cotton wrote about the Chinese menace .
“ When the number of reported infections spiked upward due to an improvement in data reporting , the Party purged local officials who were likely responsible .
And after Chinese scientists gave the world a head-start in developing a vaccine by publishing the disease ’ s genome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given awards ?
Were they celebrated ?
No , their lab was shut down the very next day .
Those scientists deserved awards , they deserved a medal ; instead , they were given a professional death sentence , ” he added .
One Republican lawmaker has even demanded that China pay reparations to the U.S. because of the havoc their coronavirus has wreaked on the American economy : Indiana Congressman Jim Banks said on Monday , March 16 , 2020 that the United States should start making China to “ pay the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. thanks to the Wuhan virus .
The Indiana elected official made the statement during an appearance on Monday ’ s Tucker Carlson Tonight .
“ We need to start by forcing China to pay the burden and the cost incurred on the United States of America due to the coronavirus .
I think there are many ways that we can do that , ” Banks stated… “ So by releasing the debt , the U.S. debt held by the Chinese , we could fund that , ” Carlson said , asking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will follow through with this plan .
“ I have no doubt that President Trump will do everything that he can to hold China accountable for what they ’ ve caused on Americans today , ” he stated… “ By refusing to let CDC come to China and study the new virus , by lying to their citizens and saying the virus wasn ’ t transmitted by person to person contact when they knew the opposite was true , National Security Advisor Robert O ’ Brien has said this cost the world two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Banks declared in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News .
“ China needs to pay up , and Congress will be working with members of the Trump administration to learn the best way to hold them accountable , ” he continued .
This entire situation has proven the need for the “ America First ” mindset .
China has demonstrated on the grand stage that they can not be trusted to protect the safety of the world as a global superpower .

Brazilian ‘Christ the Redeemer’ Statue Illuminated With Flags of Nations Fighting Coronavirus
Brazil’s iconic ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue in Rio de Janeiro was illuminated with the flags of nations across the world fighting the raging Chinese coronavirus epidemic.
The city’s Catholic Bishop, Orani João Tempesta, held Mass at the statue on Wednesday night, urging the faithful of Brazil and the world to pray for those afflicted with the disease and nations struggling to contain it.
The statue of Jesus Christ is Brazil’s most-known landmark. It overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro on the neighboring Corcovado Mountain.
Brazil may be the first Latin American nation where the disease spreads in force. Conflicting reports have surfaced indicating that the nation’s President, Jair Bolsonaro, may have tested positive for the coronavirus after coming into contact with a cabinet secretary since diagnosed with the disease.
Global coronavirus diagnoses have surpassed 210,000, and deaths from the novel disease may be higher than 10,000. The disease originated in Wuhan, China.
Catholic officials in Italy- the most severely affected nation by the virus in terms of death count- took the almost unprecedented move of suspending regular Sunday masses and religious proceedings at the start of the month.
Gestures in their own right are not going to deter the spread of the contagious virus, but mankind shouldn’t discount the power of God during an unprecedented event some have likened to the most serious in world history since the conclusion of World War II.

Another hospital ship is already being sent to New York harbor, where the virus is strongest in the nation aside from its original entry point in Washington state. But claiming that California is going to be struck harder than China and Italy combined makes it hard to believe that the state is estimating its coronavirus needs in a sober-minded fashion.

If they had listened to Wenliang and taken measures immediately in December when he discovered the virus, an untold number of people could have avoided the coronavirus infection.
Investigators in Beijing have determined that Wuhan authorities behaved “inadequately” and failed to follow “proper law enforcement procedure” when they reprimanded Wenliang and accused him of “spreading rumors” in January when people were already dying because of the pandemic.
While this is a good first step toward accountability, the Chinese have much more to account for because of the myriad ways they mishandled their response to the virus.
They pulled the wool over the eyes of the globalist World Health Organization (WHO), an internationalist body tasked by the United Nations with handling worldwide pandemics.

The Indiana elected official made the statement during an appearance on Monday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight. “We need to start by forcing China to pay the burden and the cost incurred on the United States of America due to the coronavirus.

This entire situation has proven the need for the “America First” mindset. China has demonstrated on the grand stage that they cannot be trusted to protect the safety of the world as a global superpower.
