White House Deep Sixes COVID-19 Outbreak, Human Toll Devalued Against Trade Deal

Images from Wuhan, China, have been pumped into global media as a sign of hope that "this too shall pass" when in fact life back to normal includes the very practices which introduced this disease, and in reality the last corona virus, SARS, into the global spotlight.

As Wuhan lessens it restrictions and the city streets and transportation systems are once again up and running, the thought of life as back to normal is of deep concern that the Chinese are staging some sort of public relations sham.

The Chinese government, whose public relations crisis management is second only to Russia, has announced the official death toll for the region reached 3,300, a mild number for a nation whose infection rate had reached upward of 89,000 cases.

The infection and death toll, many in the international community believe, is closer to 120,000 cases with 42,000 deaths. The death toll it seems continues even up to recently, according as London's Daily Mail reported "One funeral home [in Wuhan] even received two shipments of 5,000 urns in just days, according to Chinese news outlet, via the New York Post."

Case Zero and the Chinese Trade Deal

As the coronavirus bears down on Europe, the United States, and possibly nations such as India, who were slow to begin preventative measures, the origin of the deadly virus is beginning to be reexamined.

If the Chinese government has its way the world will believe the virus can apex and be controlled in less than three months with minimal human toll. It is the hope of every leader, in every nation in the world, that this is accurate.

The facts, based on the World Heath Organization infectious disease investigation timeline would prove this well polished public relations push incorrect. 

The WHO presents a timeline for infectious disease investigations. SARS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the most recent corona virus which was also declared a global epidemic was controlled in a short period of time, after the initial six month waiting period, before the investigative team arrived.

Essentially the WHO and all other global disease investigative bodies receive notice of a new contagion, a disease threat, the team is not mobilized with the first ping on the map. The disease may burn itself out, like a dud firecracker, it burns brightly, eats up the wick and fails to ignite.

"During November 2002 through July 2003, a total of 8,098 people worldwide became sick with severe acute respiratory syndrome that was accompanied by either pneumonia or respiratory distress syndrome (probable cases), according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Of these, 774 died. By late July 2003, no new cases were being reported, and WHO declared the global outbreak to be over," the CDC concluded.

Which is essentially the results of SARS, it failed to ignite on a full scale.

However, with COVID-19, the first pings of the disease were probably unnoticed, and Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, Italy, believe it was already airborne and in his country by November, 2019. 

With concluded information from all governing investigative disease agencies using SARS as a guide, an outbreak which mirrored the symptoms, should have produced similar results which were not really a catastrophic toll of human casualty in relation to the dollar value of the upcoming Chinese American Trade deal of which the White House had been engaged in brokering since August 2019.

On January 16, 2020, the Chinese Trade Deal was signed and resulted in the purchasing of a total of $200 billion worth of US products. 

White House Deep Sixes Contagion Outbreak

Deep-sixing the outbreak of the contagion until the trade deal was signed, was beneficial for many, a win for the Trump Administration who was headed into a contentious reelection campaign, and at that time coming off of an impeachment process. 

Jarad Kushner, Senior Adviser to the President, was directly involved in the talks and often credited for smoothing the way between Bejing and Washington and is also reported as the one person who fueled the president's belief that COVID-19 was just another democratic or political attack.

Trump, according to Vanity Fair"is lashing out at advisers, whom he blames for the White House’s inept and flat-footed response. Sources say a principal target of his anger is Jared Kushner. “I have never heard so many people inside the White House openly discuss how pissed Trump is at Jared,” the former West Wing official said."

Truth, Lies, Money and a Global Pandemic

The facts, however, present and suggest a slightly different timeline, one that should be at the forefront on every nation's planning. Plan for the worst and hope for the best, an attitude which will not allow medical supplies and first responders, who dedicate their lives to saving lives, to be left without protective gear.

The two most important dates in this scenario include the tariff war between the US and China that now seems obsolete. The beginning of the Chinese-American trade war began on August 1, 2019, when Trump announced he would impose a 10% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports beginning September 1, 2019; four days later the Chinese Commerce Ministry announced that China was halting imports of American agricultural goods.

In the two months that followed, Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, as well as reporters from China and Livescience.com, agree the COVID-19 virus was global and unnamed and known only as cases of a "severe pneumonia" striking northern Italy.

The Publisher of The New York Times, A.G. Sulzburger, during remarks given after he received the New England First Amendment Coalition's 2020 Stephen Hamblett First Amendment Award, said, "In a country with a free press, a new and deadly virus is promptly acknowledged and addressed, not hidden by the government until it becomes an international pandemic."

And from the South Morning China Post, "A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus spreading across the globe. That case dates back to Nov. 17, 2019, according to the South Morning China Post," and is also reported on livescience.com.

All global health organizations report on December 31, 2019, a "severe pneumonia," had resulted in a few deaths in Wuhan, China. On January 15, 2020 the Chinese Trade deal was signed at the White House. Asian nations around almost immediately went into lockdown.

Back to Wuhan, China, who recently, as of March 28, 2020 are presenting images to the world of life returning to some level of normalcy including the live animal trade markets or "wet markets" which is the origin of the current pandemic.

The Chinese government could do the world a favor an simply admit the contagion threat over whelmed them and directed their actions for six to nine months. 

Fortunately, the deep restrictions the United States has placed on its citizens may cut the curve a bit. However, as every nation's response effects every other nation than nations, such as India, who are slow to respond will inadvertently cause the disease to propagate further. 

G7 Must Act

The G7 and suspended nation Russia, as well as every voting member nation of United Nations, to address and outlaw the live wild animal trade, a century old tradition and practice in China, and now responsible for one global epidemic and global pandemic which when the virus is confined it will have killed upwards of 1,000,000 people and infected more, if estimates are correct 2.5million globally.

China must, unequivocally become the police of its own practices, and before the G7 moves to end this practice permanently, which should be done remotely now, before store owners and others who made a life in the live animal trade repeat this process resurrecting on the world a third pandemic that becomes even more apocalyptic.

Or the elected leaders, the dictators, and any voting member nation of the United Nations, must be ready for the next Corona Virus which will originate from this practice as failing to learn from history is the clearest sign that it will be repeated.
