COVID-19 USA--Revolving Door @ the Wuhan Lab--U.S. VISIT MISSING LINK

IMMEDIAREL//ATTNCDRSI/TACNET//CNDCOCMSGCTR//WRF2/JC/EOC//EYES ONLY


     "...it certainly stokes conspiracy theories which are abundant lately..."      

     (The Lab)--With recent unverified claims passing back and forth between the US administration, Beijing and the press, the topic of discussion has become the lab in Wuhan just a sneeze from the wet market where Patient Zero first contracted the virus.
     Whether intentional or not, it didn't have to be that the virus, a virus, any virus, might have escaped the facility and found its way into a global pandemic. The lab's own website is plagued with a hit list of visiting dignitaries who came and went in the past couple of years, none of them, like VP Pence, the least concerned with wearing a mask, choosing rather the photo opp wearing only their smiling faces. The most recent delegation to tour the lab was in February, 2019, at least according to the website, and it was from Kenya;
   
     "On Feb 23, under the organization and coordination of Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Prof. Muhammad Hussein Abdille, the Senior Advisor of the Cabinet Secretary on International Partnership and Collaborations of the Ministry of Education of Kenya and other five delegates, accompanied by Prof. WANG Qingfeng, the Director of the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, paid a visit to Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)." (WHIOV)


     The long list of lab visitors includes a French delegation in January, 2019. Another news article indicates a large contingent from Africa and is dated November, 2019 but it is published in 2018 and probably a typo. Japanese scientists visited the lab in May 2018. Listed under "Partnerships" are the University of North Texas and U of Alabama and Harvard U. from the USA.

     Curiously, a link that was available in late March reporting a visit by the US State Department to the lab in 2018 has now been removed from the lab's website and cannot be found in the index. The original link was:

http://english.whiov.cas.cn/ne/201804/t20180403_191332.html

The link now shows the following string of characters:

页面没有找到，将在0秒钟后带您返回网站首页 !

which translates to --

     "The face was not found and will take you back to the homepage of the website in 0 seconds!"

It originally followed the visit by the French delegation with the link  @ 191331
Obviously, the link was there at one time or the evidence at the photo above would not have been available. Pictured in the US State visit to the lab;
   
     "On March 27th, Mr. Rick Switzer, Counselor of Environment, Science, Technology and Health Section of Embassy of the United States in China, accompanied by the U.S. Consul General in Wuhan, Mr. Jamison Fouss, visited Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)," (191332)
There appears no explanation for the disappearance of the information from the Wuhan lab website and it certainly stokes conspiracy theories which are abundant lately as to the origin of the Covid-19 virus.

Mike Pompeo: 'enormous evidence' coronavirus came from Chinese lab

Secretary of state Mike Pompeo claimed on Sunday there is "enormous evidence" the coronavirus outbreak originated in a Chinese laboratory - but did not provide any of the alleged evidence. Pandemic brings Trump's war on science to the boil - but who will win?

     Due to the nature of the disinformation surrounding the lab, the time has come for a formal Congressional hearing on the veracity of the allegation it was responsible for the outbreak. Witnesses that need to be called are those who have investigated the virus as a possible man-made pathogen to the delegation(s) that actually visited the facility. Why the link to the US State Dept.visit was removed from the website also needs to be addressed. Simply hurling accusations at press briefings isn't good enough and the American people, and the Chinese people, deserve better.

COVID19 USA--Forecasts & Prognostications ---THE METEOROLOGY OF PHASE ONE

IMMEDIATEREL//CD/ATTN/PRC47//CMDCOCMSGCTR//URGENT//VIATT/JCL

     "...it would take a suspension of disbelief to ignore the barometer and announce the worst was over. "



     (The Lab)--Talking more like a weatherman than a top HHS official tasked with tracking the next local virus outbreak, Admiral Brett Giroir gave a drawn out briefing on Friday on the testing forecast. Based on percentages and controls, the numbers might indicate where to dispatch a team of tornado chasers to an infected area, combined with the local labs' abilities to return the samples in a hurry. The plan meets the approval of the task force's approach to reopen the economy.
     The first models were based on ill winds blowing in from Italy and Spain following the Wuhan typhoon. Prognostications based on worse case scenarios and lack of data showed a category five disaster in the making, and it soon spun up the Eastern seaboard and made landfall in New York City. The cone of probability rapidly expanded into the tri-state region. On the West coast, heavy gale warnings were posted a week before from Seattle to San Diego and governors, in spite of doubts from officials in the nation's capital, ordered forced shelter-in-place as businesses boarded up their shops with plywood and waited out the storm. It proved to be a very wise, life-saving decision.
     Hospitals were flooded with patients, material resupply exhausted the Strategic National Stockpile and lines of communication were established at the White House with daily briefings by storm experts. The forecast remained bleak even as Congress kept candles burning late into the night drawing up contingency relief programs for a population caught in the grip of an isobaric nightmare.
Soothsayers were pronouncing the doom of mankind, people began paying less and less attention to NOAA, and more and more to Noah. Somewhere in the darkness, as relentless rain pounded the empty streets from the Big Easy to the Big Apple, there came an idea. It was given not some trick name by the NHC such as "Katrina" or "Sandy," but one by the federally appointed task force. It was called "Phase One."
     The reaction ranged from relief to disbelief, from surprise to rebellion. But it would take a suspension of disbelief to ignore the barometer and announce the worst was over. Local officials, noting depleted resources with nursing homes the main targets of the cyclone, refused to accept the inevitable, that the federal government would eventually countermand the strict mitigation orders and lift social restrictions. The people didn't wait for that to happen. They swarmed the deserted streets in protest, waving flags and caravaning and cavorting as if the sun had blessed them since Ash Wednesday. Some governors allowed other than essential businesses with one removing riptide and sneaker wave closures on state beaches.
     A new storm was brewing on the horizon, one of discontent. Rumor was blowing all the way from China that the typhoon that hit the mainland was man made, in a lab. In the meantime, the admiral will continue to make the daily forecast and the CDC will dispatch the tornado chasers to the trailer parks and nursing homes hardest hit by the twisters.
