Is 11 May actually the end for France (seems weird, considering there's still so many deaths), or is it extended until that day for now?

Nothing gives me hope for my country like hearing Gavin Newsom talk about our new forward thinking response today.

Multiple US health experts are begging to say that’s sports will not be able to be played in front of live audiences until mid/late 2021 at the earliest. Personally I think any international event schedules before October is done for. 2020 Asian Beach Games be able to take place in November. 2021 Winter Universaide in January is a big maybe based off what I’ve read. Even Tokyo2020 might have to be postponed again or cancelled. It’s still too early to tell, but dark days are upon us for sure.

CHINA IS CENSORING RESEARCH INTO THE ORIGIN OF THE CORONAVIRUS

 

"THE DANGER IS THAT WHEN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IS SUBJECT TO THE NEEDS OF THOSE IN POWER."


In what appears to be another attempt to control the narrative surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese government is imposing new restrictions on scientists attempting to research how the coronavirus originated.

 

Now, any paper attempting to do so must pass extra checks and be approved by the government before it can be published, CNN reports. It is important that controversial medical research is carefully vetted before it goes out into the world, of course, but academics trying to study the coronavirus say the government is imposing new censorship under the guise of academic rigor.

 

“I think it is a coordinated effort from (the) Chinese government to control (the) narrative, and paint it as if the outbreak did not originate in China,” an anonymous researcher who had their work obstructed told CNN. “And I don’t think they will really tolerate any objective study to investigate the origination of this disease.”

 

The new restrictions have also left researchers confused. Some speculated to CNN that the government is grappling with heightened sensitivity around a controversial topic. Others noted that they always had to go through several rounds of vetting to publish their work in prestigious journals.

 

“It is no surprise that the government seeks to control related scientific research so that the findings do not challenge its own narrative on the origin of the virus and the government response to the crisis,” Yanzhong Huang, a global health researcher at Washington’s Council on Foreign Relations, told CNN.

 

“The danger is that when scientific research is subject to the needs of those in power,” Huang added, “it further undermines the credibility of the government narrative, making accusations of underreporting and misinformation more convincing.”

SECRET U.S. INTELLIGENCE REPORT: CHINA HID THE SIZE OF THE PANDEMIC

 

INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY CHINA IS STILL UNDERREPORTING THE SEVERITY OF THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK.


The U.S. intelligence community seems to be increasingly convinced that China downplayed the severity of its coronavirus outbreak — and that it continues to do so.

 

A classified report that intelligence agencies sent to the White House allegedly concludes that China’s official tally of coronavirus cases and deaths doesn’t tell the whole story, three anonymous officials told Bloomberg. If they’re right, it’s bad news for other countries that have depended on China’s data and insight to craft their own responses to COVID-19.

 

“The medical community made — interpreted the Chinese data as: This was serious, but smaller than anyone expected,” Deborah Birx, the State Department immunologist, said at a Tuesday news conference, according to Bloomberg. “Because I think probably we were missing a significant amount of the data, now that what we see happened to Italy and see what happened to Spain.”

 

Of course, there’s reason to be skeptical of this particular narrative — the Trump administration has increasingly blamed China for the global pandemic, arguably to draw attention away from its own failures, and dubiously-sourced reports that China deliberately hid how bad things were would be politically convenient.

 

But ever since the outbreak began last year, dissidents in China have accused the government of censorship, downplaying the risks and severity of the coronavirus, and punishing those who spoke up.

 

Last week, China made headlines when the epicenter city of Wuhan reported no new cases for several days in a row. Its rapidly-built emergency hospitals have even started to close down as they become unnecessary.

 

Now the intelligence community is calling that success story into question — and along with it much of what we’ve learned about the viral outbreak.
