I so feel for the people onboard those ships…But it’s common sense to do what they are doing to protect their populace, imo!

They changed the name so it doesn’t offend anyone. The pussification of our world is upon us.

Probably trying to confuse people, so they dont know its an engineered virus, rather than something that happened naturally. Cant have Bill Gates and the Chinese government getting bad mouthed and blamed for killing lots of people.

Chris Martenson said in this vid that the Japanese found it to be “too difficult” to test 3800 people aboard the Diamond Princess.
That alone makes China’s number’s claims look false.

He has a new vid out. Gonna watch it now.

From what I’ve read, the testing limit in CCP is around 3K per day. And, the reported daily increases for confirmed cases just happens to be ~3K. So, yes, still a lot of uncertainty and we are not getting accurate information or advice from the various health organizations. They’re focused on other things, I guess.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva the vaccine lag meant “we have to do everything today using available weapons” and said the epidemic posed a “very grave threat”.

“To be honest, a virus is more powerful in creating political, economic and social upheaval than any terrorist attack,” Dr Ghebreyesus said.

"A virus can have more powerful consequences than any terrorist action.

“If the world doesn’t want to wake up and consider this enemy virus as public enemy number 1, I don’t think we will learn from our lessons.”

Lol… wasn’t this the same mother fucker telling everyone they had nothing to worry about?

I’m a bit angry with that fellow.

I hereby declare this the Wuhan-400.
