Inside the Early Days of China’s Coronavirus Coverup
The dawn of a pandemic—as seen through the news and social media posts that vanished from China’s internet.
That day, a Wuhan doctor named Li Wenliang—a whistleblower who had raised alarms about the virus in late December, only to be reprimanded for “spreading rumors”—died of Covid-19.
Within hours, his death sparked a spectacular outpouring of collective grief on Chinese social media—an outpouring that was promptly snuffed out, post by post, minute by minute. With that, grief turned to wrath, and posts demanding freedom of speech erupted across China’s social media platforms as the night went on.

Thankfully there are many companies that are developing vaccines for COVID-19.

We Are Living in a Failed State
The coronavirus didn’t break America. It revealed what was already broken.
SPECIAL PREVIEW: JUNE 2020 ISSUE
Staff writer for The Atlantic
The crisis demanded a response that was swift, rational, and collective. The United States reacted instead like Pakistan or Belarus—like a country with shoddy infrastructure and a dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt or stupid to head off mass suffering. The administration squandered two irretrievable months to prepare. From the president came willful blindness, scapegoating, boasts, and lies. From his mouthpieces, conspiracy theories and miracle cures. A few senators and corporate executives acted quickly—not to prevent the coming disaster, but to profit from it. When a government doctor tried to warn the public of the danger, the White House took the mic and politicized the message.
The pandemic is shaking beliefs about American exceptionalism.
As images of America’s overwhelmed hospital wards and snaking unemployment lines have flickered across the world, Europe is looking across the Atlantic at the richest and most powerful nation in the world with disbelief.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon defended Navarro's motives, calling the memos "prophetic" and saying Navarro was forced to put his concerns in writing because "there was total blockage to get these facts in front of the President of the United States."
- The "naivete, arrogance and ignorance" of White House advisers who disagreed with Navarro "put the country and the world in jeopardy," Bannon said, adding that Navarro was sidelined from the task force after the memo.

Should’ve happened in January. Photographer: Angus Mordant/Bloomberg
administration should’ve done in late January was to mobilize the entire federal government. That it still hasn’t done so is both inexplicable and shocking.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be overhauled. Remember how disastrously FEMA performed following Hurricane Katrina in 2005? After it was over, the agency, embarrassed by its performance, worked to right itself — and did so with very little additional funding. The coronavirus crisis is the CDC’s Katrina.
Invoking the Defense Production Act should be a priority, not a last resort.
What makes no sense is using the DPA the way Trump has — as a means of embarrassing and punishing companies he’s annoyed with.
Industry needs to be involved in federal pandemic planning.
Logistics matter.
There can only be one person in charge. And that person shouldn’t be the president. Yes, have a task force, but it should only consist of leaders with genuine expertise — in infectious diseases, logistics, manufacturing, communication and so on. The person in change needs to be an expert in managing disasters.

N.Y. Deaths Dip; Gilead Drug Shows Early Promise: Virus Update
Bloomberg NewsApril 10, 2020, 5:57 PM EDT Updated on April 10, 2020, 7:07 PM EDT
A Gilead Sciences Inc. experimental drug for patients with severe Covid-19 infections showed promise in an early analysis, raising tentative hope that the first treatment may be on the horizon.
The report in the New England Journal of Medicine tracked 53 people in the U.S., Europe and Canada who needed respiratory support -- half on mechanical ventilation and four on a heart-lung by-pass machine. All got remdesivir for up to 10 days under a program that lets people use unapproved medicines when no other options are available.
Over 18 days, 68% of patients improved, with 17 of the 30 patients on mechanical ventilation being able to get off the device. Almost half the patients studied were ultimately discharged, while 13% died.

What’s being applauded at seven is the courage of professionals, many of them working without the protective gear they need. Some have seen their salaries cut; some have fallen ill, others soon will. We’re applauding the likes of Anthony Fauci, who must spend nearly as much mental energy trying to finesse the ignorance and the ego of his Commander-in-Chief as he does in assessing the course of the novel coronavirus. We’re cheering researchers in labs all over the world who are at work on antivirals and potential vaccines. We’re cheering everyone who makes it possible for the city to avoid the myriad conceivable shortfalls and collapses: grocery clerks and ambulance drivers; sanitation workers; pharmacists and mail carriers; truckers, cops, and firemen; the deliveryman who shrugs off the straps of his knapsack and jabs the intercom buzzer with a gloved finger; the community of artists, dancers, d.j.s, musicians, and actors who have lost paychecks and jobs but are posting paintings on Instagram, FaceTiming soliloquies, singing into iPhones. And we’re thanking those who are providing straight information, lobbying Washington for medical supplies, looking out for the most vulnerable among us, and making critical decisions based on the scientific evidence, no matter how unforgiving. We know the limits of this release—there is a feeling of helplessness reflected in it, too––but it’s what we have in a dark time.

everyone, including everyone in China, has a right to be angry about COVID-19.
too much single source product manufacturing located in China.

Analysts finally came to the realization that the coronavirus/COVID-19 was going to impact the global economy the during last week of February. What took them so long?? = They all have more information then me. Moreover, the news coming from China since January 11, 2020 was never positive even if the actual reported statistical data was suspect. But the increased coronavirus/COVID-19 patients in China and new cases in Iran and South Korea finally turned on the ever-present ^VIX catalyst sparking the significant downturn/sell-off. All of this proving once again the power of big money players, and all highly leveraged in moving markets. Anyway, most people understand enough of this to not go through it again. I have kept track of some news events on this BioHazard = COVID-19 at my site since January 11th 2020.

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing commentators turned a pandemic into a battle of us vs. them — the kind of battle President Trump has waged for much of his life.
- April 1, 2020
Step 1: Blame China
Step 2: Play down the risks
Step 3: Share ‘survivor’ stories
Step 4: Blame the left
Mr. Hannity recently published a timeline of his own comments on the virus, which creates a revisionist impression that he was consistently raising concerns. The examples Mr. Hannity cites include his praise of the Trump administration’s response and declarations that the “greatest” and “best” scientists are working on the virus.
