Yet, Nancy rushed back to congress and filled it with everything from enforced diversity, reckless voting rules, and the Green New Deal; nothing of which are related to Covid-19. They aren't playing politics. They're promoting their agenda while Americans are held hostage. Diversity? Yeah, and they have two old white guys running in the primaries. Diversity.

Yeah, that did Bloomberg a lot of good. Critics slam Bloomberg News report warning 2 grams of Trump's Touted Virus Drug can Kill You Sheesh.. "Musk Can Kill With Just Two Gram Dose" ??? Really? Two grams of ANYTHING can kill you. That's why it's measured in MILLIGRAMS! If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything eh? They forgot to add "Don't say anything stupid, either.".

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52016721The root cause is a heart attack. No evidence was found that the virus had anything to do with it. ANALYSIS / OPINION
based on a few facts provided by news media that praise China just because Coronavirus: Wuhan to ease lockdown as world battles pandemic
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52016139Even if that kind of news would make us feel relieved somehow, you gotta know by now there's always a catch! Yes, we got one right here in front of us! Travel restrictions in the rest of Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, will be lifted from midnight on Tuesday - for residents who are healthy. BBC Wrote:A single new case of the virus was reported in Wuhan on Tuesday following almost a week of no reported new cases. That's exactly what should worry us about their measure! They're the source of the pandemic, yet, they ARE NOW ALLOWED to gradually move around the city... Even if there is a case of an infected individual in the city! Two months have past since they implemented a serious lockdown and there is A CASE of covid-19 there! BBC Wrote:It comes after health officials there confirmed that they were not counting cases of people who were positive but had not been admitted to hospital or did not show any symptoms of the disease. See what I'm trying to tell you here!? They blatantly ignore mild and asymptomatic cases! https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/24/asia/coronavirus-wuhan-lockdown-lifted-intl-hnk/index.html According to CNN the new case is a Hubei doctor... So let me ask you this, how many more cases are they just ignoring? A doctor takes cares of several patients, especially in Wuhan and Hubei province! They still relax the very same measures than seemed to be containing the spread a bit. They might say their QR color codes might be used to determine who can enter or leave the city, including Chinese from other regions. The most important question we gotta ask here is... How the hell does a doctor contract Covid-19
after roughly 2 months in a severe lockdown? I mean, if they were sitting in their homes for 2 or 4 weeks, we might understand how it was possible to get infected after all they've been waiting to get out of there. But that doctor, even if he's part of the group at risk of contracting it, get infected after so many weeks? It gotta mean people in Wuhan or Hubei didn't heal as fast as Chinese authorities first announced. This also means all the information we've received from China might not be as accurate as we first thought. Probably somebody will now say that they just got infected after treating a seriously ill patient. Another could state an asymptomatic patient just got too close to him as to spread the dangerous droplets filled with viruses. Others might think their protective gear just failed him. Can't you see how that's something we should really worry sick about?
The patients they have released so far could just be people that keep the virus dormant!
Keep in mind some of them already felt ill a few days after leaving the hospitals...
What if they've just come asymptomatic instead of getting cured?
WHO has been cleared about not offering a cure in less than 12 or 18 months...
Unless drugs being tested in USA and Europe
that were created for treating other diseases do really work against the coronavirus, we're at risk of witnessing a second wave of the Chinese epidemic. Probably the pandemic could last months or even a year... OK, that might only take place in case they ever wanna admit they failed at containing it a second time...
Let's just hope nobody in our neighborhood and hospitals really needs to remain isolated for more than a month due to the severity of their symptoms. Otherwise, our own lockdowns could last as much as 2 or 3 months! Honestly, I do wanna be wrong about this!
Positivism usually is a good thing.
Though we've got no real proof it even seems to be possible after what the pandemic has been causing in Europe and how the numbers rise non-stop... By the way a Costa Rican news media stated Chinese authorities reported 7 deceases in Wuhan... https://www.crhoy.com/nacionales/incop-se-aferra-a-compra-millonaria-de-banderas-lgtbi-en-media-crisis-por-covid-19/ RE: News of the World - kyonides - 03-25-2020 Panama declares full lockdown 443 cases confirmed there https://www.crhoy.com/mundo/panama-declara-cuarentena-total-ante-rapida-expansion-del-covid-19/ Costa Rican Public Servants won't get a raise https://www.crhoy.com/economia/gobierno-congela-pago-de-aumento-salarial-de-empleados-publicos/ Thanks Covid-19!

Costa Rican Football / Soccer Players get a salary reduction https://www.crhoy.com/deportes/clubes-respiran-tras-acuerdos-salariales-alcanzados/ Well, they're just too expensive except for those you never ever recall their names. UEFA Champions League Match could be the Ground Zero for Covid-19 in Lombardy, Italy https://www.offtheball.com/soccer/biological-bomb-stark-reality-bergamo-life-paddy-agnew-988461 It seems that a match that was held about 2 weeks ago was what actually caused the explosion of cases in Northern Italy... Coronavirus: ‘strange pneumonia’ seen in Lombardy in November, leading Italian doctor says https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3076334/coronavirus-strange-pneumonia-seen-lombardy-november-leading Quote:Virus was circulating ‘before we were aware of the outbreak in China’, says Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research The truth? Or just a Chinese attempt to get rid of their responsibility of creating and spreading the virus? What a shameful attitude! It doesn't even make any sense! If that was the case, it would have exploded months ago! Not after a football match celebrated earlier this month! Don't forget we got reports they started spreading rumors about USA creating and disseminating the virus in China during an international event held there several months ago. Besides it's highly suspicious they start blaming Italy after their government has been allowing foreign medical teams, mainly Communist countries like Russia, Cuba and China, to land there so they can help them deal with their crisis.
