China Knew Virus Was Contagious But Kept Silent for Days: Leaked Documents
The Epoch Times ^ | April 30, 2020 | FRANK FANG

Chinese health officials were drawing up plans to combat the CCP virus, which they knew to be infectious, days before they informed the public about its potential to spread, according to internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times.

The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. The virus has since spread to more than 200 countries and territories, causing more than 61,000 deaths in the United States alone.

China officially confirmed that the virus could be transmitted between humans on Jan. 20, when top respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan made the announcement.

Now, internal documents provided to The Epoch Times show that Beijing covered up what it knew, as central authorities were secretly providing directives to regional governments on how to cope with the outbreak.

On Jan. 15, the regional health commission in northern China’s Inner Mongolia issued a “super urgent” emergency notice to its municipal counterparts, explaining how medical facilities should respond to a new form of pneumonia. The notice said that China’s National Health Commission had implemented treatment and prevention measures for local health agencies to deal with the new disease (now known as COVID-19).

China and Xi have an advocate in the USA: Every Democrat voter in the US. They will rush to exonerate Xi and blame everything on Trump

All anyone needs to know is that they protected the rest of China from Wuhan, but not the rest of the world.

How about MONTHS?

This article from Nov. 15 has been nagging at me for quite a while, but I discounted it, since it was from Northern China, far removed from Wuhan - but now this article, from the exact same area of China. Interesting.

Did a Chinese Foreign Minister Admit COVID-19 Came from a Lab? PJ Media ^ | 04/29/2020 | Stacey Lennox

Posted reply to this article posted in Free Republic.com aggregate news sourcePosted on 4/29/2020, 9:04:51 AM by SeekAndFind

Senator Tom Cotton was roundly ridiculed and branded a conspiracy theorist for saying that the Wuhan coronavirus may have come from a lab. There was an immediate false equivalence that he was accusing China of releasing an engineered bioweapon. That was never what he said, so we lived through weeks of China’s preferred “bat soup” story that insisted the virus came from a wet market.

HERE IS WHAT ELSE THEY DIDN’T DO/sarc
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.

The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.

But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.

Where they seem to have done the same here with their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..

Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.

But to stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its alleged rapid transmission spread by our media.

Supposedly, there were unconfirmed cases in Italy in December, perhaps earlier.

Months is right. There were posters here who were wondering because they were sick in October and thought they had the flu then wondered when the symptoms came out if they’d had Covid-19.

There was at least one who said he thought he had it in July. My friend was the first one I thought of when I heard the symptoms. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in July. He got over it and caught pneumonia for a second time in September.

It is a bio-weapon, imho. Before Covid-19 hit there were reports of China’s economy collapsing. PDJT’s tariffs hit them hard. The tell was when Xi closed down his national flights but allowed flights out to all parts of the world.

As for Trump’s stocks, he is not involved with his portfolio. He handed it off for the exact reason that he didn’t want anyone thinking his actions were due to his making money.

They knew it was contagious for months. Still, as of now, no one remembers that the British guy living in Wuhan says he became sick with the virus November 25.

The “knew for days” is a meme to absorb just a little anger as a lesser evil than the truth which would generate wrath.

You are absolutely correct. That alone makes this an act of war against the world.
