How Coronavirus or Wuhan virus become deadly?

Listing 14 mistakes committed by China and WHO which made Coronavirus, the biggest catastrophe globally leading to 18,589 deaths and counting

  • By Pravin Prashant | March 26, 2020
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, there are 416,689 confirmed cases and 18,589 deaths with respect to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) as on March 25, 2020. The big question: Who is responsible for so many deaths as there is no stopping with respect to deaths and things are moving beyond geometric progression according to Big Data researchers. 
 
Let's look at the chronology of events to get a basic understanding of how things unfolded with respect to Wuhan virus, Coronavirus, CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 which will prove where things went wrong and who needs to be made accountable for this disaster. I am asking fourteen questions to CCP and WHO which needs to be answered.        
 
December 10: Wei Guixian, a seafood merchant in Wuhan's Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market was one of the first suspected cases of coronavirus. Wei was admitted to Wuhan Central Hospital with infection in both lungs. 
 
December 30: Dr. Ai Fen, Director - Emergency, Wuhan Central Hospital posts information on social media about the new SARS-like virus. She was reprimanded and told not to spread information. She also spoke to Dr. Li Wenliang. Whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital and a member of the Chinese Communist Party wrote on social media about seven people contracting SARS like virus. He posted an RNA analysis finding which showed SARS Coronavirus and extensive bacteria colonies in the patient. Wuhan’s public health authorities swung into action and notified all hospitals of pneumonia of unclear cause but omitted any mention of SARS or coronavirus and ordered all hospitals to report any related information. 
 
First Mistake: Chinese Communist Party did not pay any heed to Dr. Ai Fen and Dr. Li Wenliang (its own CCP member) post/observation about SARS-like virus or SARS Coronavirus and instead local authorities focused on categorising it as Pneumonia of Unclear Cause?    
 
December 31: Wuhan health officials confirm around 30 cases of illness and notified World Health Organization (WHO) about an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan. 
 
Second Mistake: Why WHO followed CCP theory and focused on labeling Wuhan outbreak as pneumonia only and not doing their own analysis?    
 
January 1: The Huanan Seafood Market was closed for sanitary procedures and disinfected. Wuhan Public Security Bureau questioned doctors who posted information on social media about SARS like illness. Hubei Provincial Health Commission officials orders pathological labs to stop testing samples and destroy existing samples.
 
Third Mistake: Why CCP ordered Hubei Provincial Health Commission officials to stop testing samples and destroying existing samples by labs?   
 
January 2: Naval University of Engineering, Wuhan one of the comprehensive military universities of PLA issued a lockdown notice before the government admitted there was an epidemic and prohibited the entry of foreign personnel into the school. For visitors, they need to take permission and visitors must take a temperature at the school gate. Anyone whose temperature was higher than 38 degrees was prohibited to enter the premises.   
 
Fourth Mistake: If there was no human-to-human transmission why Naval University of Engineering, Wuhan issued a lockdown notice for foreigners and even visitors were asked to take temperature?     
 
January 14: WHO announces that preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan. 
 
Fifth Mistake: Why WHO didn't go for its own investigation and focused only on investigations conducted by Chinese authorities on no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
 
January 18: The Annual Wuhan Lunar New Year Banquet called "The Thousands Households Banquet" was organised in Baibuting area of Wuhan where 40,000 families participated and a total of 13,986 dishes were prepared. The city authorities gave a go ahead based on the judgement that human to human transmission was limited and this led to hockey stick growth of coronavirus in China.  
 
Sixth Mistake: Why CCP did not cancel the Annual Wuhan Lunar New Year Banquet where around 100,000 people participated knowing the fact that the virus had human-to-human transmission capabilities and infected a large number of people?        
 
January 20: A high-level expert team of China's National Health Commission investigation headed by Dr. Zhong Nanshan (an epidemiologist and pulmonologist, referred to as the nation’s SARS Hero by Chinese media) confirmed people-to-people transmission of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and infection of medical staff. Two cases in Guangdong Province were confirmed to be people-to-people transmission. Dr. Zhong Nanshan was appointed to lead the National Health Commission’s investigation into the novel coronavirus. 
 
Seventh Mistake: Why No mention of Wuhan by Dr. Zhong Nanshan but focus only on Guandong Province?     
 
January 21: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the United States in the state of Washington. The patient from Washington with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection returned to the United States from Wuhan on January 15, 2020. Party’s law and order body of China warns officials that anyone who tries to hide the spread of the disease will be nailed on the pillar of shame for eternity. 
 
January 23: Wuhan and three other cities are put on lockdown. Wuhan declared unprecedented traffic restrictions, including suspending the city's public transport and all outbound flights and trains, in an attempt to contain the epidemic within its territory. Approximately 5 million people out of 11 million from Wuhan leave the city without being screened.  
 
Eighth Mistake: Why Wuhan issued lockdown notice after CDC confirmed the first case of Novel Coronavirus in the United States in the state of Washington. The lockdown notice should have been issued long before and why was there a delay by CCP and civic authorities? 
 
Talking about China strategy on hiding facts with respect to Coronavirus, Jennifer Zeng, Blogger and You Tuber based in US said, "The evolution model trace back to Wuhan but Chinese Communist Party tried to cover it up so CCP is not taking any responsibility and focusing only on information warfare as this event is going to impact China in a big way." 
 
January 27: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived in Wuhan and called on local departments to go all out to prevent and control the spread of the disease. 
 
January 24–30: China celebrates the Lunar New Year holiday. Hundreds of millions of people are in transit as they visit their relatives pan-China. Transportation was shut down in Wuhan, the city of 11 million where the outbreak originated and in at least 12 other cities in Hubei province. Strict measures continued to be implemented around the country for the rest of the epidemic.
 
Ninth Mistake: Why lockdown was limited only to Hubei province and not entire China? 
 
January 30: WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
 
Tenth Mistake: Why WHO delayed declaring the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern?  
 
January 31: First cases confirmed in Russia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
 
February 7: Whistleblower Li Wenliang, an opthalmologist developed fever and was hospitalized on January 12 at the ophthalmology ward of the Central Hospital of Wuhan and then to hospital's respiratory and critical care department. Li was transferred to the intensive care unit of respiratory and critical care department on January 23 and he died on February 7.
 
February 10: President Xi Jinping appeared in public for the first time by visiting a hospital in Beijing and urging confidence in the battle against the virus.
 
Eleventh Mistake: Why President Xi Jinping did not visit Wuhan, the epicentre of Coronavirus and only visited hospital in Beijing?   
 
February 11: The WHO announced that the new coronavirus would be called COVID-19.
 
February 17: 40 massive mobile industrial incinerators where delivered to Wuhan. Mobile incinerators are the size of a semi-trailer shipping container and is normally used in the mass disposal of animal carcasses. Officials claim they are only to get rid of medical waste like contaminated gloves, masks, scrubs, hospital bedding and soiled linens but according to multiple reports it was used for massive numbers of bodies of the victims of the growing coronavirus epidemic. The incinerators can burn around 1,200 bodies a day to reduce infectious spread and to eliminate human evidence. Reportedly each unit is the size of a 20-foot standard shipping container and has a volume of about 30 cubic meters.
 
March 10: Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first visit to Wuhan since the novel coronavirus outbreak and inspected prevention and 
control work in the city. 
 
Twelfth Mistake: Why President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan after three months from the first suspected case which was detected on December 10 in Wuhan. Was he waiting for the Coronavirus to subside in Wuhan?  
 
March 11: WHO Director General characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.
 
Thirteenth Mistake: Why WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11 despite China's National Health Commission investigation headed by Dr. Zhong Nanshan confirmed people-to-people transmission of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and infection of medical staff on January 20?    
 
March 19: China has redirected all arriving international flights from Beijing to 12 other cities to control the surge of imported coronavirus cases. International flights bound for Beijing will first land in Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Shenyang, Hohhot and Taiyuan as their first points of entry as per the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). Passengers taking flights will undergo quarantine and go through entry procedures and luggage clearance at the designated airports. Those who meet the quarantine requirements will then take the same flights to Beijing, according to the announcement. Inbound travellers need to pay for quarantine expenses themselves. Travellers diagnosed with COVID-19 after returning from overseas will have to pay for their own treatment if they are not covered by either the country's medical insurance or commercial ones.
 
March 23: China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom have shown a decrease in cumulative mobile subscriber base by 21.5 million in the first two months of 2020 to reach a cumulative subscriber base of 1,583.2 million. 
 
Fourteenth Mistake: Why a significant drop in mobile subscriber numbers to the tune of 21.5 million for all Chinese mobile operators - China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom in January-February 2020 as even 1% of the total drop comes to around 215,000 whereas as per WHO, the number of deaths in China is only 3,287. Why such large discrepancy in data reporting by CCP?      
 
March 25: Chinese authorities have lifted the lockdown across most of Hubei region. Wuhan, the city of 11 million people where the novel coronavirus was first detected will stay locked down until April 8. People in Wuhan will be allowed to leave the city and Hubei Province, if they hold a green health code, meaning no contact with any infected or suspected COVID-19 cases, according to a circular issued by the provincial COVID-19 control headquarters.
 
Speaking about the present situation, Jennifer Zeng said, "Entire China was locked down for two months so there could be some improvement but CCP virus has not fully stopped as there are many evidences to support it."  
 
Till date, 416,689 confirmed cases and 18,589 deaths with respect to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and this number is increasing in more than geometric progression globally.
 
I need to know from CCP and WHO the answers to all the fourteen questions and also fix accountability so that this does not happen in future.
