The Last Freeman Has Passed Away

China officials knew of coronavirus in December, ordered cover-up, report says.
In late December, several genomics companies tested samples from sick patients in Wuhan — the center of the coronavirus outbreak — and noticed alarming similarities between their illnesses and the 2002 SARS virus, the Sunday Times of London reported, citing Chinese business news site Caixin Global.
The researchers alerted Beijing of their findings — and on Jan. 3, received a gag order from China’s National Health Commission, with instructions to destroy the samples.
Rather than hunkering down to contain the virus, Wuhan officials went ahead with their annual potluck dinner for 40,000 families.
The alleged cover-up continued when representatives from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention visited Wuhan Jan. 8, where officials intentionally withheld information that hospital workers had been infected by patients — a telltale sign of contagion.
There was a Level 3 lab in Shanghai that identified the genome back then and released that information to the science world. They were shut down the very next day.
Scientists share information, but at the risk of pissing off the authorities.Look for researcher Jong Zhen Zhang, and also Shi Leng Li (Shi Zhengli). Both have been involved in this research focus for years. Hell, as far as I’m concerned, Shi built this current virus after returning to Wuhan 4 years ago with all the knowledge from that UNC project.
