Some 'hidden' truths in the events that lead to the Wuhan virus epidemic and after

According to StayGate's research on China and US media, the relevant information of the Wuhan virus outbreak in China was concealed as early as September 2019, leading to misjudgment by the public and causing the epidemic to get out of control in Wuhan in December 2019 and the world after.  

There is an external view that holds that the epidemic in Wuhan is the result of internal political struggles and that the China Communist Party (CCP) is suppressing the truth. There are other 'hidden' truths in the events that lead to the outbreak and after that have surfaced or are surfacing. If the intermediate host and trajectory of the virus from "nature" cannot be identified and announced by Chinese scientists, the source of the virus leakage in the pandemic could well be the P4 laboratory of Wuhan Institute of Viology (WIV) and CCP will have to account for the initial outbreak that has developed into the pandemic.

On 8 February 2020, Guo Wengui, the billionaire businessman that controls Beijing Zenith Holdings and founder of media campaign Expose Revolution reported in a video that the Wuhan epidemic was the result of internal political struggles, and not the organizational behavior of the CCP. The source of the virus that caused the Wuhan epidemic was the CCP’s P4 laboratory.

Guo Wengui said that in early January 2020, the central government warned insiders to stay away from Hubei and Hong Kong. In mid-to-late January, the central government unanimously made the decision to "abandon Hubei and protect Beijing and Shanghai". The characters for "abandon Hubei" has foreshadowed the imminent disaster in Hubei Province. This is a 100 per cent human disaster.

He said that CCP did not expect that within two days of formulating the policy, the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection was dead. The first person infected with the virus in Beijing was the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Beijing Police. So from that day on, Xi Jinping was not in Zhongnanhai Office. CCP claims that the Chinese citizens are humans, but they never accord the citizens their human rights.

A recent article entitled "Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Early Transmission in Wuhan, China" provides the most detailed epidemiological data on the covid epidemic. The authors of the article are experts from authoritative health institutions in China, including Gao Fu, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, Feng Zijian, Deputy Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Yang Bo, Director of the Hubei Center for Disease Control.

The paper proposes that in 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has been transmitted from person to person in Wuhan in mid-December. "Interpersonal transmission between close contacts has occurred since mid-December and gradually spread within one month thereafter." Until 11 January, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission reported that "there was no obvious person-to-person transmission", and on 16 January it changed its claim to say "the possibility of limited person-to-person transmission is not excluded".

Another cause of great controversy is that the eight front-line doctors in Wuhan City revealed there was suspected SARS in Wuhan in early December 2019. The Wuhan police disciplined them for "spreading rumours". It was not until 20 January 2020 when Xi Jinping officially expressed his response to the epidemic situation, when the Chinese national defense epidemic expert Zhong Nanshan interviewed, the outside world knew that 15 medical personnel were infected, and the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission was not informed of the 15 medical personnel until 21 January when they were diagnosed with covid.

The core question by netizens is, when did scientists know that SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 will be transmitted from person to person? Why did the experts publish their findings in a foreign journal rather than explaining the truth to the Chinese citizens earlier?

Wang Liming, a professor at Zhejiang University, questioned on Weibo, "This is the first time I have seen unmistakable evidence. The evidence of the covid virus has been intentionally concealed from person to person!" He, in the tone of the accusation, asked, "It is the scientists of the CDC who keep the data secret in order to publish the paper? Is it because the Wuhan Municipal Government has suppressed the disclosure of the data for certain needs?" He questioned, "As the first-hand information master Researcher, you know the conclusive information of virus-to-human transmission three weeks before the public. Have you done what you should do? "His post was deleted by a CCP online media force.

Coincidentally, Xi Jinping spoke on 20 January 2020 acknowledging the Wuhan epidemic, and the research paper of Shi Zhengli, a researcher of WIV, published in the British journal Nature on 3 February 2020, was also submitted on 20 January 2020.

In this regard, a former researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also issued a document to question whether Xi Jinping waited for Shi Zhengli to submit  the research paper, before implementing the epidemic countermeasures before daring to admit the epidemic exists. That is to say, as of 20 January 2020, Shi Zhengli's team has been busy producing evidence for the CCP to take blame. This can explain why the CCP knows that the epidemic in Wuhan is serious, but has refused to disclose the epidemic information.

Since the outbreak of the covid virus in Wuhan, WIV has received special attention. Recently, another argument appeared that the Wuhan P4 laboratory with potential safety hazards is most likely the source of the virus, and the virus may have leaked from the laboratory. This laboratory is related to the secret biological and chemical weapons program of the Beijing authorities.

For a time, the research and development of biological weapons by the WIV was rampant. Earlier, Indian scientists discovered that the coronavirus sample was artificially inserted into the viral protein to become SARS-CoV-2, which seems to confirm the evidence that the covid virus is a CCP bioweapon.

In addition, overseas media and several experts also pointed out that the virus did not come from animals, but from the artificial virus transformation by the P4 laboratory of WIV. For example, Dr. James Lyons-Weiler of the United States recently published an article titled "About the Source of Wuhan Coronavirus" on the IPAK website: There is clear evidence that a new sequence in the SARS-CoV-2 genome combination is in the laboratory was synthesized. The motive for the synthesis may be to create biochemical weapon viruses.

However, Shi Zhengli announced that her life guarantee laboratory had not leaked the virus. The statement was immediately bombarded by a scholar named WeChat Dr. Wu Xiaohua. "Dr. Wu Xiaohua" testified that the management of the Wuhan P4 virus laboratory was chaotic and the animals used for the experiment were disposed of at will. Covid is related to a virus leak in Shi Zhengli's laboratory.

It is reported that the P4 virus laboratory is the world's highest security biological laboratory. It is a platform for studying the world's most dangerous pathogens. The Wuhan P4 laboratory was initially built by France and officially launched in 2015, but it has not yet obtained the world WHO certification. The agreement between France and China on the construction of the P4 laboratory includes that China’s P4 virus laboratory cannot carry out aggressive virus technology activities (ie, it is prohibited to conduct research and manufacture biological and chemical weapons). 50 French researchers who had planned to work in the Wuhan P4 laboratory for 5 years have not and cannot make their trips to the laboratory.

However, the People's Republic of China got external funding from the US Obama administration under the US Agency for International Development, a sum of 3.7 million US Dollars, to outsource-study bat coronaviruses in China at the Wuhan P4 laboratory, from the National Institute of Health under Dr Anthony S Fauchi's authorization in 2015, according to a US YouTube post by The Next News Network. On 10 January 2017, according to the same YouTube post and a YouTube post by Mike Osip, at Georgetown University, Dr Anthony S. Fauci forecast "a surprise outbreak" of a zoonotic disease but he did not specify where the outbreak will rage.

According to US media The Los Angeles Times on 2 April 2020, Trump stopped the funding to China (WIV) on 30 September 2019 to continue the coronavirus studies in September 2019. This funding is part of the 200-million US Dollars pandemic early-warning  program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to respond to detect and respond to epidemics

Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, a key player in the above program named PREDICT, said all field work stopped when the funding ran out in September 2019, and organizations that worked on the PREDICT program including WIV laid off dozens of scientists and analysts. Was there virus leakage after September 2019 after the layoffs and what else did China research on the virus? During media visits from January to April 2020, WIV was reportedly closed

According to Caixin.com and the South China Morning Post on 28 February 2020, a team led by Professor Zhang Yongzhen of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center and School of Public Health of Fudan University completed whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 on 5 January 2020. However, the Shanghai P3 Laboratory that completed the genome sequencing was closed the day after  the laboratory team publicized the world's first SARS-CoV-2 (covi, in short) genome sequence. The CCP's move was accused of "academic mute." 


Outside Shanghai, the international media are waiting for answers from CCP on what has happened in Wuhan from the first onset of covid symptoms in patient zero, who the patient zero is and the intermediate host. The Harbin P4 laboratory took an environmental sample of SARS-CoV-2 transferred by WIV from Wuhan Huanan Seafood Market and tested ferrets' and cats' response to the virus in April 2020 and disclosed their findings in the journal Science but the laboratory did not disclose the environmental sample (wild animal), thus hindering scientific research on the intermediate host.

According to the Weibo Douban news on 7 February 2020, Major General Chen Wei, China's chief biochemical weapon defense expert at Harbin P4 laboratory and Director of the Institute of Bioengineering, Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences has headed WIV in the battle against SARS-CoV-2. In March 2020, she announced WIV has developed China's first vaccine to treat covid patients is ready for clinical trials in Wuhan ahead of the remdesvir clinical trial. The first clinical trial took place shortly also in March in Wuhan. Based on this development, external media suspect the outbreak of the Wuhan virus may have started in September 2019 as it takes six months to research and develop a vaccine to counter a disease.

Wang Hao, a Taiwan-based financial writer born in Shanghai, also quoted China media on Facebook, saying that the production cycle of this vaccine takes 5 to 6 months. Based on this calculation, Chen started to research and develop SARS-CoV-2 vaccine around September 2019. Then whose "genome sequence" did she base on to develop the vaccine?





Image : An extract of the Hubei Daily news on the "Novel Coronavirus Emergency Response" exercise in Wuhan on 18 September 2019, reproduced on the official web-site of Xinhua News Agency.

Wang Hao also mentioned that on 18 September 2019, one month before the opening of the World Military Games in Wuhan, the Chinese government held a "Novel Coronavirus Emergency Response" exercise in Wuhan.  According to Xinhua News Agency and Hubei Daily, this exercise took place at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport. This seems to coincide with a possible point in time for the above-mentioned vaccine development. 


According to a report by ABC News in the United States on 6 February 2020, the US government asked scientists to investigate the source of SARS-CoV-2. However China rejected US expert involvement in the investigations since US Agency for International Development no longer funded WIV through the PREDICT program

PREDICT, launched in response to the H5N1 bird flu epidemic in 2005,  gathered specimens from more than 10,000 bats and 2,000 other mammals in search of dangerous viruses. The project detected about 1,200 viruses that could spread from wild animals to humans, signaling pandemic potential. More than 160 of them are novel coronaviruses, much like SARS-CoV-2.

Although funding PREDICT stopped on 30 September 2019, according to The Los Angeles Times, there was the zero-dollar six-month extension to end of March 2020 to finalize coronavirus reports by WIV scientists and researchers in other countries "in order to synchronize tracking of novel viruses before SARS-CoV-2".

Recently on 24 April 2020, Steve Bannon revealed that a senior researcher in Wuhan's P4 laboratory fled and will be exposed in a few days to talk about the truth he knows about virus research in the P4 laboratory of WIV

Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist of the White House and a senior adviser to President Trump, revealed on the "War Situation Room" program on 24 April 2020 that a senior researcher in Wuhan's P4 laboratory fled and will be exposed in a few days to talk about the truth he knows about virus research in the P4 laboratory of Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). 

Bannon said: "We know that there is a long-standing claim that the virus was leaked from the Wuhan laboratory. There are not many people who hold this view among the people. Now there must be an insider in the laboratory that will show up. I believe many people will be quite interested. Interest. Now it ’s time to wait and see when relevant researchers come out to announce to you. "

All countries in the world have suffered huge losses due to the raging virus SARS-CoV-2. They accused the CCP of concealing and postponing its disposal, resulting in a large outbreak. On 22 April 2020, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also mentioned the issue of accountability at a press conference, which included the fact that the CCP concealed the "human-to-human" virus transmission in the early days of the plague and destroyed Wuhan virus samples.

Many countries have been investigating the source of SARS-CoV-2. Many experts questioned that the virus was artificially synthesized, and believed that it may have come from WIV. Although China has repeatedly refuted the claim of "virus leakage," a source in the British Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBRA) recently pointed out that the British Minister has received a confidential report from the security department, based on the juncture SARS-CoV-2 has the "common infectious nature on humans and animals", the nature of this virus may not be accidental in a P4 laboratory in Wuhan, and the possibility of virus leakage should not be underestimated.

So did the Wuhan P4 laboratory leak a virus? There are also questions in Australia.

Australia's "Daily Telegraph" editor Marlowe: "There is more and more evidence that the virus may have accidentally flowed out of the Wuhan laboratory. Diplomatic messages show that the US State Department is very worried that the research procedures according to strict standards in the Wuhan laboratory may have not been followed and non-adherence to strict standards may cause something to be lost. "

Recently, more mainstream French media reported that France and the China Communist Party (CCP) had cooperated to build a P4 laboratory in Wuhan, but then the French were forced to gradually withdraw from the cooperative relationship.

French “Le Figaro” published an investigation report, accusing the CCP of concealing the origin, scale and data of the virus, accusing the CCP of having too many “grey areas”. After the virus appeared in Wuhan last December, Beijing has not been telling the truth .

According to reports, in early February 2020, Major General Chen Wei, the chief biochemical weapon defense expert of the Communist Party of China, has taken over the Wuhan P4 virus laboratory. On 14 February 2020, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, presided over the meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensive Deepening Reform and proposed that biosecurity should be included in the national security system, and that the biosecurity law should be promoted as soon as possible. This has exacerbated speculations about whether the SARS-CoV-2 came from a leak in the Wuhan laboratory.


Foreign worker infections reported in Thailand

Over the past two weeks, the number of  diagnosed covid cases in Thailand has been on a downward trend, but yesterday (25 April 2020) the number of confirmed covid cases have risen due to the presence of illegal foreign worker infections.

The Bangkok Post reported that Thailand has added 53 confirmed cases on Saturday, which is the largest single-day increase since 9 April 2020. Among them, 42 newly diagnosed patients were workers who were detained at the Songkhla immigration center on the southern border of Thailand because of illegal entry. They are from Myanmar (34 people), Vietnam (3 people), Malaysia (2 people), Yemen (1 person), Cambodia (1 person) and India (1 person).

The authorities discovered the infected workers during active investigations.

Thailand ’s COVID-19 Response Management Center spokesperson Thavisp called on the people of Songkhla Province not to worry about the spread of the virus because the infected workers were detained and closely monitored.

The remaining 11 newly diagnosed cases notified on Saturday, seven of which were in Yala Province, Thailand. The province initiated active testing due to the high infection rate. Three cases were related to previously diagnosed cases and had been together crowded place.

A total of 2907 cases have been diagnosed in Thailand, with a new death case on Saturday. The deceased was a 48-year-old man who had contact with a confirmed patient and one of his brothers was also infected.

As of 25 April 2020, the number of covid patient deaths in Thailand stands at 51.

Recently, hundreds of overseas Chinese returned to Thailand, that may push up the number of cases.

Hundreds of diasporas have returned to Thailand in recent days, and the authorities have warned that this may push up daily new cases. A total of 202 expatriates returned on Friday, and 192 on Saturday. They immediately received a 14-day quarantine observation as soon as they arrived.

To combat the epidemic, Thailand entered a one-month emergency on 26 March 2020, subject to an extension of the state of emergency within a few days. People's health is the government's priority consideration. Even if the state of emergency is lifted starting with the resumption of airport operations and domestic flights on 1 May 2020, some restrictive measures should be maintained to prevent the surge of confirmed cases.


Russian expert : Wuhan Institute of Viology "has done absolutely crazy things"

There are still many opinions on the origin of SARS-CoV-2 (covi, in short). Many countries questioned that covi came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) P4 laboratory. Russian microbiologist Chumakoff said that even though the CCP did not deliberately create a "killing virus", the Wuhan laboratory "did absolutely crazy things" in its research.

According to Petr Chumakov, an expert in microbiology at the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow, in the past 10 years, researchers at the Wuhan P4 laboratory have been constantly studying various coronavirus variation. He believes that the original intention of the Chinese experts was to study the pathogenicity of the virus. At the same time, by changing the coronavirus, such as inserting the genome, it has the ability to infect humans.

"In my opinion, they have done absolutely crazy things." Chumakov said, "How exactly this coronavirus is generated, the relevant situation is slowly emerging."

He also stressed that it is necessary to standardize genetic modification work. "In spite of this, I think that the investigation (against the source of covi) will still open. New rules that will regulate the genome of these dangerous viruses will also be worked out," he said.

At present, the origin of the virus is still inconclusive. Many European and American experts questioned that the virus came from WIV.

Luc Montagnier, a French virologist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2008, questioned on 16 April 2020, and his and his team’s conclusion through a computer program showed that the virus is a SARS coronavirus gene. The splicing synthesis with the HIV gene is "artificial" and is believed to have been accidentally leaked by the Wuhan laboratory.

However, Agence France-Presse quoted a source in the French President's Office on 17 April 2020 that no evidence has been found to prove that the source of the  virus is related to WIV. However, the research institute and the Wuhan Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which were once the source of the virus outbreak, are only a few kilometres away. The outside world has always questioned whether the Institute has accidentally leaked the virus.

An exclusive report by Fox News on 17 April 2020 also pointed out that the United States has launched a comprehensive large-scale investigation of covi, questioning that the virus may have leaked from WIV.

The report quoted multiple sources as saying that the US has initially ruled out the possibility that the virus is an "artificially manufactured biological weapon". The virus is likely to be naturally produced from the bat and then transmitted to the "patient zero" working in the laboratory., That is, the first infected person, and then the virus spread to the local residents of Wuhan through this "patient zero".

The US stated that after the investigation is completed, President Trump will decide how to hold the Chinese authorities accountable based on the results of the investigation. However, US officials also "100% believe that the CCP will cover up the truth of the epidemic at any cost after the virus leaked."

In addition, Yuan Zhiming, Director of the Wuhan P4 Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also said in an interview that some scientists believe that if the virus is to be artificially synthesized, the scientist’s wisdom is beyond our normal people, and his workload is beyond our current  workload that human society can satisfy. So he "never believed that we humans now have the wisdom to synthesize such a virus."

According to the WeChat public account of the Hainan Health Commission Hainan Province’s Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters on 25 April 2020, Qionghai City reported a case of asymptomatic infection of covid. The infected person, a Mdm Li, 63 years old, was the mother-in-law of the asymptomatic infected person Zhang in Wuhan notified on April 23. As a close contact with Zhang, the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention tested its specimens and showed that the nucleic acid of the patient was positive on 25 April, and it is an asymptomatic infection of covid.

Mdm Li came to Qionghai from Yongzhou, Hunan on 17 December 2019, and lived in Jingboyaju, Qionghai. During this period, he moved around the community and rarely went out. On 8 January 2020, his mother-in-law, grandmother, and grandson came to Qionghai from Wuhan. On 17 January, her daughter-in-law came to Qionghai from Wuhan, and usually lived separately from his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. During the Spring Festival, she came into contact with relatives from Wuhan. On 15 January, Mdm Li had a fever and went to Qionghai People's Hospital for isolation treatment on 23 January. On 26 and 27 January, the new nucleic acid test for covid was negative, and she was transferred to the hospital on the morning of 28 January and discharged on 1 February.

Mdm Li has been living in the community since he was discharged and rarely went out. He and his husband went to Dongfeng Road Construction Bank for business on 6 April(they did not enter the business hall). On 20 April, it was 9-10 o'clock and on 22nd, 10-11 o'clock. She shopped on the first floor of the Guangbaijia supermarket, other times only activities and walked in the neighborhood, wearing surgical masks, did not go to dense or heavy public places. On 22 April, as a close contact of Zhang, she was isolated and transferred to a designated hospital for isolation and observation on the 23rd.

As a close contact with Zhang, Mdm Li was sampled on 22 April and was negative for nucleic acid, negative for antibody IgM and positive for IgG; sampled on April 23 for throat swab nucleic acid N positive. The pharyngeal and anal swabs and blood samples were collected again at 11 pm on 23 April. The test results were positive for IgG, and the pharyngeal and anal swabs were negative. The Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a review of the N-yang specimen collected in the afternoon in Qionghai, and reported that the results of the two reviews were positive for pharyngeal swabs on 25 April. The Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention collected specimens again for testing on 24 April, and the test results were negative for nucleic acid on 25 April.

There were 5 close contacts of Li, among them, his daughter-in-law Zhang Mou returned to Wuhan on 17 April and the physical examination showed that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid was positive, which was the asymptomatic infection of covid, and the other close contacts were negative for the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test.  The 344 people in the residential area and the shops in the community have tested all the nucleic acids, and all showed negative results. During the hospitalization, a total of 33 contacts were negative for all nucleic acids.

Expert analysis believes that, based on epidemiological investigations, Mdm Li's clinical manifestations, and laboratory testing, her IgG antibody was positive on 22 and 23 April, confirming that she was infected with SARS-CoV-2, infecting Zhang during daily contact.

Qionghai  has carried out disinfection of Li Moumou's residence, Jiajiji Xingyuan Supermarket and other epidemic sites, and closed control of its residential area in the city.
