Satellite data suggests coronavirus may have hit China earlier


Dramatic spikes in auto traffic around major hospitals in Wuhan last fall suggest the novel coronavirus may have been present and spreading through central China long before the outbreak was first reported to the world, according to a new Harvard Medical School study.

Using techniques similar to those employed by intelligence agencies, the research team behind the study analyzed commercial satellite imagery and "observed a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning late summer and early fall 2019," according to Dr. John Brownstein, the Harvard Medical professor who led the research.

notice corona hotspots are in locations where workers have abysmal work conditions - slavery in the jails, and workers wearing diapers at the food processing plants

5 years from now they will still be talking about all the false news stories that have been put out there by our screwed up news media. At this point I don't think anyone knows who's on first.

Trump’s Task Force Warns Governors of COVID Spike Tied to Protests


Top officials on President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force told governors on Monday they were worried about a spike in infections due to the mass protests against racial injustice taking place across the country.

Speaking via conference call, a recording of which The Daily Beast obtained, Deborah Birx, Trump’s coronavirus response coordinator, relayed fears that the yelling by protesters could potentially negate the health benefits of wearing a mask, and that the destruction of testing sites at those protests would set back efforts to contain the virus’ spread. Birx said 70 such sites had been destroyed, which had already resulted in an appreciable drop in testing rates there. She advised governors to “scramble now to make sure there is testing available in urban areas.”

Birx and Fauci have been silent throughout these protests and riots, while radical leftist health officials and media have claimed racism is a bigger threat to life than the Chinese Virus.

Now they want to talk about it after the fact and ramble about testing. What a load of bull .

What have they said about political rallies I wonder????

114,223 dead Americans, 2.047+million infected. The state of Georgia, the first state to reopen is regretting that decision as they had 77 dead and over 700 newly infected yesterday. The state of Florida had over 1.000 newly infected yesterday. The virus is just starting to rear its ugly head in the Deep South.

Probably 50M+ infected. Still only 115k dead.

My wife told me about this one. We're kinda thinking there's a chance we had it back in February, but it may be too late to test for antibodies. Oxford's predictive study factored in the possibility that the virus had been circulating much longer than originally thought, and their predictions were much closer to reality than the Imperial College's study. Guess which study has been widely relied on for policy decisions.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see what's what when all the dust settles.

Yeah, all the conditions created because of the virus such as masks, social distancing, mandatory closing of businesses, etc... were not adhered to during the protests, looting, and burning. All of sudden, in these surreal times it was okay to yell in each other's faces, break into, loot, and burn down those closed businesses with no consequences at all. smh

Brix and Fauci stayed silent for fear of being called racist by suggesting that you should not protest for the sake of all those who will later suffer from COVID 19. smh again. Last time I checked COVID 19 doesn't determine it's victims by race, creed, nationality, or color.

You conveniently forgot the haircut protests. Not much social distancing there either.

I think it hits the black population even more. ...............................................................

Well you said that. The protests aren’t a black thing like many like to insinuate. Some people of all colors actually do care about human rights, which is all this is about. It’s just more convenient to demonize the minority because that is universally more accepted. Kind of the strength in numbers /cowards mentality to be scared of the things you don’t understand.

Well I’m relieved, and a little confused. I thought BLM stood for Black Lives Matter, making it a racial thing. Thank you for setting the record straight.

Yeah, but health "authorities" condemn all protests except for those that are politically expedient to the leftist agenda.

It must be exhausting signalling your virtue so much. You should take a nap.
