How professional and science-based was the claim published on March 12 by China\u2019s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that \u201cit might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus \u201cCOVID-19\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organisation also appointed Zimbabwean murderer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-41713919\">Robert Mugabe<\/a> as its Goodwill Ambassador and declared on March 2 that the \u201cstigma\u201d of the coronavirus is more \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thejakartapost.com\/news\/2020\/03\/03\/coronavirus-spreading-fast-but-stigma-is-more-dangerous-who.html\">dangerous<\/a> than the virus itself\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organisation does a lot of stupid stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So what is the real motive behind your attempt to repeatedly link the virus to China and even stating that the novel coronavirus was \u201cmade in China\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Our motive is accuracy. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t link the virus to Bognor Regis or state that it was \u201cmade in Panama\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The people of Wuhan made a huge effort and personal sacrifice to stop the spread of the epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>Wuhan\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/02\/08\/opinions\/coronavirus-bociurkiw\/index.html\">Dr. Li Wenliang<\/a> indeed made a huge effort to warn people about the coronavirus outbreak. Then, as the New York Times reported: \u201cIn early January, he was called in by both medical officials and the police, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/02\/06\/world\/asia\/chinese-doctor-Li-Wenliang-coronavirus.html\">forced to sign a statement<\/a> denouncing his warning as an unfounded and illegal rumor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And now he\u2019s dead, so that\u2019s \u201cpersonal sacrifice\u201d covered as well.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, in order to capture attention and gain more internet hits, you called Wuhan the \u201cZombieland\u201d and Wuhan seafood market the \u201cbat market\u201d. How low can you go?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the rest of the article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailytelegraph.com.au\/blogs\/tim-blair\/via-local-commie-underlings-beijing-officially-disapproves\/news-story\/491b415795fbbdc526d33d5b569134a4\">The Daily Telegraph<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks 11B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President for Life Xi Jinping fisking: v.
