BBC: Coronavirus: China rejects call for probe into origins of disease
China has rejected calls for an independent international investigation into the origin of the coronavirus.
A top diplomat in the UK, Chen Wen told the BBC the demands were politically motivated and would divert China's attention from fighting the pandemic.
Information about the origin of Covid-19 and how it initially spread could help countries tackle the disease.
The virus is thought to have emerged at a wildlife market in the city of Wuhan late last year.
Meanwhile an EU report accuses China of spreading disinformation about the crisis.

20 million cell phone accounts were cancelled after the virus hit. That gives you an indication of just how many died in China. You can not operate in China without a cellphone. They are all DEAD.
China closed down their industrial base due to the virus, they didn't do that to help the people. These are the same Communists that drove tanks over T-Square protesters in 1989.
Once seeing the damage it could do they deliberately let is spread around the world so they could use it to become #1, beating out the USA. Personally its an act of war.
China is the nightmare of mankind. WWIII is coming, it will be here soon. Thank the blow-job Democrat President Bill Clinton. who allowed China back into the family of nations.
Look the devil told me personally that the killing joke in on me myself and I

Anon 11:00,
I agree with your description of BJ Clinton. 1/3rd to 2/3rds of the the nation or perhaps the world have no problem with the BJ part except that Lewinsky was not his wife, was a subordinate and he did on work time on work premises. I don't even care if Clinton had a mistress. It comes with the territory it seems. but he did not keep it discreet like say Chirac. Putin has a mistress, too.
But it is much, much worse. The Clinton campaign got caught taking Chinese money for its campaign and the Legacy Media does not care. Sure they covered the story, but how much did the cover? The minimum of what was out there or would be out there without there efforts? Clinton also gave them missile tech and transferred export controls to the Commerce Department.
GWB gave the WTO status. That was a mistake. He might have given it regardless of what Clinton had done before him. Maybe it runs in the family. His father liked China. Liking a country and liking a people does not excuse giving the oligarchy running it a gun to shoot you with.
Bush Gave China Permanent Normal Trade Relations Status With the US 15 Years Ago. What Did That Change?
George W. Bush didn’t lose China
What Bush did was stupid. What Clinton did was stupid and criminal.
Copley7,
The 20 million figure worries me and gives me pause.
A few of those 20 million might have had more than 1 phone. Maybe a few hundred thousand. So essentially we are still talking about 2 0 million.
What I don't know is the following. How much was due to:
1.) Poor health of a stressed population (pollution, nutrition, etc).
2.) COVID was more virulent, but mutated fast and only less powerful strains left China. WSJ had an article discussing this topic. it was about a 1990s cholera epidemic in South America and how the disease mutated in Chile, Bolivia and Peru depending on the health infrastructure.
3.) Of those 20 million people how many were offed, because now the government had the cover to due it and an explanation for the disappearance?
Trump owed tens of millions to Bank of China
Is it safe to say that Fred posted at 1:38 a story from Politico, a Leftwing/Arch Liberal rag?
Trump only has a 30% ownership in the building. He might not be the majority stake owner, so he might not have called the shots on who to borrow from.
The title of the article is written in a 'scary' way to impress not so bright people.
So let's hit it head on. Will the loan be defaulted on? No. Occupancy rate is good and rents are being paid. So why the story?
In my household the last car purchased was Japanese. If I would have had my way, it would have been American like the last 3. You don't get always get what you want. You can't brow beat or physically beat your partners. Maybe certain people do not understand such things.
I do know, when there is a new loan, it will be from a non-Chinese company.
Also, Trump & his partners (the other 70% owners) went out into the open market place and got a loan, Baby Biden got his China deal through the office of the U.S. Vice President. Big Difference or as Slow Joe, the molester, would say "a Big Fucking Deal"
That's right. There is audio tape from decades ago that proves Joe Biden is a sexual harrasser. He harassed his female staff.
So my advice is for you to bring it up again and again.
The juxtaposition is glaring.
Nothing like drone voters messing up their party's slim chances.

Biden will never be president. After August he may not even be the Democrat's nominee.
With criticisms of Trump’s handling of the pandemic growing and new opinion polls showing him trailing Biden in several key battleground states, we are sure to see more of these diversions. But adopting a China campaign strategy would also present a number of problems for Trump, beginning with the fact that Hunter Biden’s investment partnership isn’t the only American business that received funding from Chinese entities. In 2012, the Bank of China, a commercial bank owned by the Chinese state, provided more than two hundred million dollars in loans to a New York office building that Trump co-owns, Politico reported on Friday. The loans will come due in 2022, “in the middle of what could be Trump’s second term,” the timely article noted.
The building in question is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, which is located between West Fifty-first and West Fifty-second Streets. The majority owner of the building is Vornado Realty Trust, a big real-estate company that is run by the veteran developer Steven Roth. In 2007, the Trump Organization acquired a thirty-per-cent stake in the Sixth Avenue building and also in separate Vornado development, in San Francisco. By all appearances, the Vornado stake has been one of Trump’s most successful investments, and the Bank of China played a significant role in its success. “The debt stems from a $950 million refinancing deal in 2012, to which the Bank of China chipped in $211 million,” the Politico article said. “Vornado’s federal financial disclosures show it and the other owner of 1290 Avenue of the Americas—Trump—are still indebted from the 2012 deal.”
Hunter Biden is not the first child of a prominent politician to be accused of having ties to a company doing business with a foreign country. Indeed, similar questions have been raised about Trump’s own family members.
The president is free to question whether Hunter Biden capitalized on his father’s name to insert himself into a deal that involves investments by the Chinese government. But he goes beyond that to make unsubstantiated claims that Hunter Biden made “millions and millions” from China while his father was vice president and that he hitched a ride on Air Force Two to secure a $1.5 billion investment deal.
Biden’s attorney claims that Hunter Biden made no money off the deal while his father served as vice president, and has yet to see any return on his investment. We cannot verify either statement, and we can’t say how much Hunter Biden might ultimately make from his 10% stake in BHR. But while Trump has called on China to open an investigation, there has been no evidence presented to date that suggests either Biden did anything illegal.
Trump has not yet made good on his promise to sue any of the women — although two women have sued him – and the White House says that Trump's election proves the American people don't consider the allegations disqualifying.
"The people of this country, at a decisive election, supported President Trump, and we feel like these allegations have been answered through that process," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters in December 2017, after several of the president's accusers appeared on national television to rehash their allegations.
But despite Trump's denials, 50% of voters — 59% of women and 41% of men — surveyed in a December 2017 Quinnipiac poll released think the president should resign as a result of the sexual misconduct allegations against him. Several Democratic lawmakers have recently called on Trump to resign over the accusations
THIS PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL
Yes, it was the drone voter and it got triggered.
A poll is a snap shot in time. Pictures are framed. Knowingly if a photographer is worth their salt. Likewise polls are framed. When you have a poll you have to look at the fundamentals or internals. Often times polls are not representative samples. They are skewed as to the various demographics asked. If they are too heavily skewed, the polls are worthless except as propaganda.
Polls are often purposefully skewed. In fact the main pollster purposefully fuck their polling results except in the time between late August before election and election day. In that time period the closer you get to election the less the pollster pout their thumb of the scale. If they were always 10 or 20 percentage point off for 2 or 3 presidential election in a row, 80% or more of the population would cease even looking at them.
Why do we want representative samples for polls. Well, why is the 1st topic in a statistics class the idea of a "random sample". What a person has to ask themselves is if the poll took a "random sample" of voters. If it didn't, then it is a waste of your time to read the poll.

“I think it could be something really incredible,” Mr. Trump said on March 19, noting that while more study was needed, the two drugs had shown “very, very encouraging results” in treating the virus.
By that evening, first-time prescriptions of the drugs — chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine — poured into retail pharmacies at more than 46 times the rate of the average weekday, according to an analysis of prescription data by The New York Times. And the nearly 32,000 prescriptions came from across the spectrum — rheumatologists, cardiologists, dermatologists, psychiatrists and even podiatrists, the data shows.

I am not as talented as you, slut
I won't even go out onto a limb. You have a Mark I mod 1 brain just like the average person. If you are not talented at all, it is because you are lazy.
The best I can tell is that you have picked a gang to belong to called the Democrat Party. You think with very little work except showing up on election day as muscle, they give you a free ride. So why develop your mind?
Why are you against Chloroquine? Only because your side is against it.
You only get into the nitty gritty of details or proving things by reciting articles or headlines like you were reciting mantra. You're a very boorish person.

Don't completely blame Klinton. Blame Nixon. He pulled China out of poverty.
Klinton?
Portmanteau of Clinton and Klingon?
Or an acknowledgement that his sponsor, Democrat Senator Fulbright, was a KKK type?
Nixon wanted to play China off against Russia. Good idea?
Frankly, the period between 1904 to 1979, the Soviets seemed to be winning everywhere. They had Africa locked up. They were in Angola and Mozambique. For a brief time both Ethiopia and Somalia were client states (which is like trying to press magnets together). The 70s were not a good time.
