“From Italy we are seeing another concerning trend. The mortality in males seems to be twice in every age group of females,” Dr. Deborah Birx commented at the White House daily briefing.
“This should alert all of us to continue our vigilance to protect Americans that are in nursing homes.”
Birx also added that the data showed that younger people are still at risk of contracting the disease. However, they recover in most cases.
“We continue to review the data and we continue to see signs that individuals under 20, 19 and under may have severe disease but the majority have all recovered to date,” she said, emphasizing how containing the virus will require a community-wide effort.
“Frankly, this requires all the communities, and when you see the sacrifices that many Americans have made and service industries have made to close their restaurants and bars so the spread can stop and you understand how all Americans must have to make the same sacrifice,” she asserted.
She stressed that anyone can catch the virus.
“Finally, no one is immune. I sometimes hear people on radio or others talking about being immune to the virus. We don’t know if the contagion levels are different in age groups, but it is highly contagious to everyone,” she said.
“Do not interpret mild disease as lack of contagion or you are immune. The ability to fight the virus in a way that older people or people with existing medical conditions can’t.”

The Wuhan virus has been a black eye for the Chinese Communist Party, now that the entire world is suffering from this pandemic caused by the Chinese government’s incompetence.

6 years ago in an article by Annalisa Merelli at Quartz, readers were reminded about China’s steadily growing influence in the Italian peninsula.
Historically, Italy has taken enormous pride over its domestic production. However Merelli notes that “cheap imports from China are often demonized as inferior knock-offs—some 90% of fake ”Made in Italy” merchandise allegedly comes from China, and even staples like tomato sauce and olive oil are not immune.” Unemployment, which has recently been high in Italy, has also been threatened by increased economic interactions with China.

Hopefully, policymakers start implementing measures that socially distance Western countries from China.

OPINION: For the Sake of Mankind, End China’s Wet Food Markets. End Them Now.
China must prohibit the use of wet food markets throughout its country. It must end their use permanently and effectively, starting now. If it proves unwilling to meaningfully enforce laws against their operation, the United States and its allies throughout the world must be forceful in demanding the nation put an end to these biological threats to mankind, once and for all.
Wet food markets are a form of open-air market- perhaps roughly analogous to American farmer’s markets- where large, diverse collections of exotic animals are kept on queue for slaughter and sale.
Scientists believe that the coronavirus descends from viruses common to bats. The virus was likely to have been passed from a bat to a pangolin, adapting to its new host in a fashion that made it transmissible to humans.
Their connection to the coronavirus isn’t the first incident that’s caused the wet markets to become a target of international criticism. A Chinese wet food market is thought to be the place of origin of the 2003 outbreak of SARS, another novel viral disease. Wet food markets were banned by the Chinese government in light of that epidemic, but they’ve since been allowed to reopen, having a considerable parochial and lobbying interest with the nation’s government.
A video from Vox on the wet food market practice provides insight on the continuing wet food market practice in the country. The liberal media outlet caved to craven political correctness in light of its video’s viral impact, renaming the video from “Why new diseases keep appearing in China” to “How the wildlife trade causes pandemics.”
Experts trace the early cases of the Chinese coronavirus to a wet food market in Wuhan, China. The market was known to contain both bats and pangolins on a menu of animals offered for sale, making it an extremely plausible that the disease adapted to a form transmissible to humans there. It’s a repeat of the 2003 SARS epidemic, although we have every indication to believe the new coronavirus is every bit more lethal.
Some early observers and commentators surmised that the virus may have escaped from a biological laboratory, having originally been developed as a weapon. The likely source for the virus’s origin may be even more alarming. A laboratory is nominally under the control of scientific experts, whereas a wet food market is an open field. Animals with differing genetic structures- ranging from bats to pangolins(which are an endangered species) enter into close contact, passing on diseases that would never encounter diverse, global members of the animal kingdom in the wild.
A biological weapon is ultimately created for human control, but a viral disease that naturally emerges from a conglomeration of diverse animals is far beyond the control of man.
An expert on the Chinese animal trade cited by Vox maintains that the wet food markets are largely opposed by the majority of Chinese people, and one would hope that the people of China would force their government to end the practice once and for all, avoiding a repeat of the comeback of wet markets after the SARS epidemic. But it’s hard to quantify the degree of support that exotic wildlife trade and wet markets have in China, considering they’ve consistently found a way to stay open, despite harming China’s image and veritably being a public health risk to the global public. There are genuine popular movements in the country that oppose animal consumption practices westerners(and people from a diverse range of societies) find repellent, such as the Yulin Dog Market.
But the case of wet markets is far more pressing than slaughtering puppies. These institutions have reliably proven to be a serious danger to mankind. We can’t risk waiting for the next viral epidemic to emerge from a wet food market that creeps back open after public attention to the coronavirus scare fades away years from now, especially considering that it could potentially prove to be even more dangerous.
China has instituted new bans on the consumption and sale of wild animals in response to the coronavirus epidemic. But the tale will tell if the nation’s authoritarian government will effectively prohibit their practice, permanently.
The United States, and concerned nations of the world, can and must use their economic and political leverage to put these wet food markets to a full and permanent end, in the light of the most serious global health epidemic since World War II.

Fake News Media Tries to Change the Narrative on the Wuhan Coronavirus
On March 10, 2020, the New York Times attacked Senator Tom Cotton, Congressman Paul Gosar, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for calling the novel coronavirus the “Wuhan virus.”
Some conservatives, including Mike Pompeo, Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Paul Gosar, are using the term “Wuhan virus” to describe Covid-19. Critics accused the term, which goes against the recommendation of health officials, of being racist and xenophobic. https://t.co/z31zlTHCaL — The New York Times (@nytimes) March 10, 2020
However, some journalist dug up information showing that the Times itself was using that term beforehand.

If it proves unwilling to meaningfully enforce laws against their operation , the United States and its allies throughout the world must be forceful in demanding the nation put an end to these biological threats to mankind , once and for all .
Wet food markets are a form of open-air market- perhaps roughly analogous to American farmer ’ s markets- where large , diverse collections of exotic animals are kept on queue for slaughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus descends from viruses common to bats .
The virus was likely to have been passed from a bat to a pangolin , adapting to its new host in a fashion that made it transmissible to humans .
Their connection to the coronavirus isn ’ t the first incident that ’ s caused the wet markets to become a target of international criticism .
A Chinese wet food market is thought to be the place of origin of the 2003 outbreak of SARS , another novel viral disease .
Wet food markets were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that epidemic , but they ’ ve since been allowed to reopen , having a considerable parochial and lobbying interest with the nation ’ s government .
take our poll - story continues below A video from Vox on the wet food market practice provides insight on the continuing wet food market practice in the country .
The liberal media outlet caved to craven political correctness in light of its video ’ s viral impact , renaming the video from “ Why new diseases keep appearing in China ” to “ How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trace the early cases of the Chinese coronavirus to a wet food market in Wuhan , China .
The market was known to contain both bats and pangolins on a menu of animals offered for sale , making it an extremely plausible that the disease adapted to a form transmissible to humans there .
It ’ s a repeat of the 2003 SARS epidemic , although we have every indication to believe the new coronavirus is every bit more lethal .
Some early observers and commentators surmised that the virus may have escaped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been developed as a weapon .
The likely source for the virus ’ s origin may be even more alarming .
A laboratory is nominally under the control of scientific experts , whereas a wet food market is an open field .
Animals with differing genetic structures- ranging from bats to pangolins ( which are an endangered species ) enter into close contact , passing on diseases that would never encounter diverse , global members of the animal kingdom in the wild .
A biological weapon is ultimately created for human control , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a conglomeration of diverse animals is far beyond the control of man .
An expert on the Chinese animal trade cited by Vox maintains that the wet food markets are largely opposed by the majority of Chinese people , and one would hope that the people of China would force their government to end the practice once and for all , avoiding a repeat of the comeback of wet markets after the SARS epidemic .
But it ’ s hard to quantify the degree of support that exotic wildlife trade and wet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve consistently found a way to stay open , despite harming China ’ s image and veritably being a public health risk to the global public .
There are genuine popular movements in the country that oppose animal consumption practices westerners ( and people from a diverse range of societies ) find repellent , such as the Yulin Dog Market .
But the case of wet markets is far more pressing than slaughtering puppies .
These institutions have reliably proven to be a serious danger to mankind .
We can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to emerge from a wet food market that creeps back open after public attention to the coronavirus scare fades away years from now , especially considering that it could potentially prove to be even more dangerous .
China has instituted new bans on the consumption and sale of wild animals in response to the coronavirus epidemic .
But the tale will tell if the nation ’ s authoritarian government will effectively prohibit their practice , permanently .
The United States , and concerned nations of the world , can and must use their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wet food markets to a full and permanent end , in the light of the most serious global health epidemic since World War II .

Mike Pence and Second Lady Test Negative for Coronavirus
Mike Pence and his wife Karen Pence have completed coronavirus tests that indicate they don’t have the disease, a relief after a staff member for the family was diagnosed with the virus.
Pence announced on Saturday morning that he intended to receive a coronavirus test after the White House announced that a Pence staff member tested positive on Friday. Later in the day, he confirmed that his personal coronavirus test along with a test his wife took came back negative, indicating that he doesn’t have the disease.
Pence provided a heartening update on the medical condition of the anonymous staff member that tested positive, stating that he was “doing well.” He hasn’t been at the White House since Monday, and is described as having cold-like symptoms.
Pence follows the President himself in getting a coronavirus test. Donald Trump tested negative for the disease, seeking out a test after coming into contact with a coronavirus-infected individual during an event with the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro at his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort.
The Vice President is currently tasked with leading the federal government’s coronavirus task force effort, coordinating efforts with governors, the Department for Health and Human Services, and the Center for Disease Control.
President Trump described the experience of receiving a coronavirus test during a press briefing earlier this week. The process involves a nasal swab being pressed into the nose and collecting a sample from the back of a person’s throat. Certainly not very pleasant, but a small price compared to carrying the virus without knowing for sure.
President Trump was asked how he felt taking the coronavirus test last week: "Nothing pleasant about it" pic.twitter.com/BLKngyGVtZ — Bloomberg Quicktake (@Quicktake) March 16, 2020
With both the President and the Vice President confirmed not to be carrying the disease, distractions surrounding the personal health of the executive branch can be dismissed.
