US, SETS HIGHEST CORONA RATE INCREASE YET (And Deaths) Just overnight.. ( Archived) (107)

You're right about thinking Gelsey is a troll... her first comment was an attack. Plus sounds masculine... so she or he makes it quite obvious. And yes Mikey did make a good point.

Covid-19 is real. I think covid 19 is exploited by the left to make trump look bad and to rig the next election with mail in votes to elect a dem.

You are 100% spot on with your assessment here.

Is covid-19 real, and are there people dying from it?

Yes.

Are people in the US dying at the rate that was predicted by the so called "experts"?

Not even close.

Are the numbers being reported of deaths and those who have tested positive accurate?

Evidence suggest otherwise.

Is covid-19 being used as a political cudgel to keep President Donald John Trump from being elected?

Isn't it obvious?

City in China issues a bubonic plague alert
The warning forbids the hunting and eating of animals that could carry the plague and will be in effect through 2020

Health officials from a city in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia issued a bubonic plague warning on Sunday after a suspected case of the highly infectious disease known as the "Black Death" was revealed.

The health committee of the city of Bayannur issued a third-level alert, the second-lowest category in a four-level system. The notice requests citizens to report any suspected cases of plague or fever with no apparent causes. It forbids the hunting and eating of animals that could carry the plague. The alert also instructed the public to report any sick or dead marmots. The warning period will be in effect through the end of the year.

"There were four reported cases of plague in Inner Mongolia last November, including two of pneumonic plague, a deadlier variant of plague," according to the Independent. A Mongolian couple died of the bubonic plague after eating raw marmot kidney.

The bubonic plague is one of three types of plague caused by bacterium Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria usually found in small mammals and their fleas.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlines what people experience when they are infected with the bubonic plague:

Patients develop sudden onset of fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes (called buboes). This form is usually the result of an infected flea bite. The bacteria multiply in the lymph node closest to where the bacteria entered the human body. If the patient is not treated with appropriate antibiotics, the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body.
During the 14th century, the Black Death caused more than 50 million deaths in Europe. Thanks to antibiotics, the CDC says the mortality rate is approximately 16% these days, far less deadly than in the Middle Ages.

From 2010 to 2015, there were 3,248 bubonic plague cases reported worldwide, including 584 deaths, according to the World Health Organization.

From 2009 to 2018, China reported 26 cases and 11 deaths, according to Reuters. The CDC reports that there is an average of seven human plague cases in the U.S. each year.



This comes a week after researchers in China discovered a new type of swine flu that is able to infect humans. The G4 virus is a strain of the H1N1 swine flu that exhibits "all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus."

On Friday, the WHO admitted that China did not inform them of the original COVID-19 outbreak.

I knew this was coming also... already a vaccine in 3 months.

Leaked Document Reveals Communist Chinese State-Run Firm Mandates Some Employees Take Part in Chi-Com Virus Vaccine Trials.

At least four drug manufacturers in China are developing vaccines for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.

On the packaging of the vaccine manufactured by Sinovac, it states clearly that the vaccine has not been approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the state agency that regulates the manufacturing of drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and so on.

But a Chinese state-run company has mandated that some of its employees take part in Sinovac vaccine trials, according to an internal document that The Epoch Times obtained.

“Taking these vaccines is risky. The vaccine might not work. The worst-case scenario is that it may infect people with the Wuhan pneumonia [CCP virus],” said Chan King-ming, director of the Environmental Science Program at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and member of U.S. Society of Toxicology.

Chan told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that it typically takes about one year to develop and test a vaccine. After lab and animal tests, a vaccine needs to be tested in three phases during clinical trials. After evaluating the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness and confirming there’s no safety concerns, the state administration can approve a vaccine.

“I want to ask: The vaccine isn’t approved. Who will take responsibility for the vaccine’s safety?” Chan said.

In the United States, drug companies have begun clinical trials with testing on human volunteers.

Beijing-based biopharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech, which is a joint venture between a private Hong Kong company and the state-run Sinobioway, developed and manufactured CoronaVac, an inactivated vaccine candidate.

An internal document dated June 15 issued by TravelSky Technology, a state-run company that develops technology for air travel information, showed that the company requested seven groups of its employees to take the Sinovac-manufactured CoronaVac.

TravelSky counts airlines, airports, air travel agencies, and air cargo services as its clients. As of December 2019, TravelSky had 7,476 employees, according to the company’s 2019 annual report.

TravelSky said in the document leaked to The Epoch Times by a trusted source: “The vaccine has very good safety and effectiveness, and is ready to be applied to people in the case of an emergency.”

The seven groups are: employees in “key and core positions”; employees who work in airport terminals; employees who need to take an overseas business trip in the near future or take domestic business trips frequently; managers and staff who attend meetings frequently; employees who are assigned to virus-prevention tasks; and other employees who would like to test the vaccine.

Zhang Hua (pseudonym), a health official from a provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told the Chinese-language Epoch Times by phone that at present, participating in a clinical trial should be voluntary.

TravelSky asking its employees to take CoronaVac is essentially forcing them to take part in a clinical trial, Zhang said. “It’s not right that TravelSky didn’t tell its employees the truth.”

Zhang added that the state regulator, NMPA, would typically seek out volunteers for a trial on the broader public after a company succeeds with its clinical trials.

Other drug manufacturers in China who are working on a COVID-19 vaccine include CanSino Biologics, which has finished the first two phases of clinical trials on its Ad5-nCoV vaccine, according to local media Caixin. China’s Central Military Commission has approved for military soldiers to take part in trials for the vaccine.
