Leaked Data .... China Has 640,000 Coronavirus Cases, Not 80,000

A leaked database from a Chinese military-run university suggests the country may have at least 640,000 COVID-19 cases — a figure substantially higher than Beijing’s dubious claim that it has seen just 80,000 coronavirus infections.

The virus tracker, compiled by China’s National University of Defense Technology and leaked to Foreign Policy magazine, appears to confirm fears that the nation’s Communist government is hiding the true nature of the outbreak that originated in Wuhan late last year.

According to the report, the virus tracker consists of more than 640,000 rows of cases in 230 cities ranging from early February to late April and confirms the location of each infection.

The data includes locations for hospitals, train stations, hotels, restaurants and schools and was compiled by a professor at the university that is run by China’s Central Military Commission, the report said.

China’s ruling Communist Party, which has blocked US scientists from coming to the country to study the virus, claims it has seen only 4,633 deaths and 82,929 cases as of Thursday.

These figures are considered highly untrustworthy by the international community, with the US now at 85,601 deaths and 1.4 million confirmed cases.

Suspicions that China was hiding the true scale of the outbreak were only furthered when state media last week suddenly increased the coronavirus death toll in the city of Wuhan by 50 percent.

US intelligence agencies have informed the White House that they believe China undercounted its number of infections and deaths, hindering modeling efforts and leading to calls from the international community for a probe into the origins of the outbreak in December.

Satmar Rebbe Attacks His Own Brother-In-Law The Vizhnitzer For Netanyahu Meeting: ‘How Low Can They Stoop’

The Satmar Rebbe, Rav Aharon, sharply criticized his brother-in-law the Vizhnitzer Rebbe for meeting with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu in the prime minister’s residence. 

Rav Aharon spoke at a special Le’Chaim tish for a small number of his associates marking the Yahrzeit of rabbi Nachum of Chernobyl, one of the early Chassidic rebbes and a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov.

Rav Aharon spoke with great anguish and said:

”After months of isolation far away from the chasidim, with no public prayers, no tish, no reception of chasidim for private meetings, no sandek (holding the baby at a circumcision) honors, all due to the fear of not being in the same house with a person sick with coronavirus and being infected, after all this he went to the house of the head of the unbelievers, the person who spreads the belief in “our might and power”, the person who has no derech eretz (courtesy) and no respect for G-d? Wasn’t he afraid to sit in his house together with him where he could be infected with spiritual diseases?”

Rav Aharon added:

 “I don’t understand him. Today is the yahrzeit of our grandfather, the Magid of Chernobyl. It is well known that ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white. One should know how to distinguish between black and white and it is forbidden to mix between them.”

DIN: 👀 "black & white????" ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white????" .....What?????? well ok ....

The chasidim related that the rebbe was very disturbed after hearing about the meeting last night and kept saying

 “how low can they stoop, those who go to elections and participate in the government.”

Vizhnitz chasidim responded on the Bechadrei Chareidim site, stating that: 

“The Satmar rebbe must not know his brother-in-law properly, the rebbe would be willing to pay him the airfare and give him his Beis Midrash so that he can protest against him. Our rebbe is performing his method of Avodas Hashem (service of G-d) and he does not care for his honor the slightest bit, nor is he concerned what people will say.”

Alarming video shows how quickly coronavirus can spread at a restaurant

An alarming video from Japan that used a black light demonstrates how quickly the coronavirus can spread aboard a cruise ship or in a restaurant when just one person is infected.

In an experiment conducted by public broadcaster NHK in collaboration with infectious disease experts, 10 people were asked to serve themselves as usual at a buffet, according to Forbes.

Invisible fluorescent paint — visible only under a black light — was applied to the palm of one of the subjects, who was tapped as the “infected” person and coughed into his hand. The paint represented the deadly pathogen.

All the participants were allowed to enjoy the buffet for half an hour.

The diners are seen touching various utensils to grab food as they interact with each other and the “sick” individual in their midst.

At the end of the feasting, the room goes dark and ultraviolet light is emitted to show how the invisible paint spread almost everywhere, including silverware, dishes, glassware, clothes and cellphones.

Top "Menuvel" Howard Stern Tells Pres Trump and his Supporters to "Drop Dead"

SHOCK Jock Howard Stern, has been slammed after outrageously suggesting President Trump and his supporters should drink disinfectant and "drop dead".

The 66-year-old radio personality made the controversial comments on his show for Sirius XM, with one listener asking him to drop the politics.

Speaking on his show Monday, Stern raged over the President's comments about disinfectant during a coronavirus press briefing last week.

He said: "I would love it if Donald would get on TV and take an injection of Clorox and let’s see if his theory works.

“Hold a big rally, say f**** this coronavirus, with all of his followers, and let them hug each other and kiss each other and have a big rally.”

At the suggestion of sidekick, Robin Quivers, that the rally include "a big cocktail of disinfectant" Stern agreed.

He said: "Yeah...And all take disinfectant and all drop dead.”

'DROP DEAD'

At a press briefing last week, Trump sarcastically said:

 "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute."

"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen," he said.

'DROP THE POLITICS'

However, taking to the airwaves, Stern blasted the comments, with social media users flocking to slam Stern's harsh words.

One user wrote: "No one cares what he thinks. Hasn't been relevant for years now."

Another added: "You haven't been funny in two f****** decades."

One listener tweeted to XM: "[Stern's political commentary among others is why I stopped listening to the show.

"It’s a shame. It brought me and my friends a lot of laughter and joy. I stopped listening the day he said anyone that voted for trump was a moron."

This disappointment was echoed in the show, after a caller asked the pair to drop the political comments.

Listeners said they don't tune in to hear Stern's political commentary.

However, Stern hit back: “I don’t recognize any of this as being Republican, I don’t recognize it as being anything political. I see it as insanity.

“I don’t know what is going on there, but I don’t have a good feeling.”

Crazy CNN Adds Greta Thunberg to "Expert Coronavirus Panel"

An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature the clueless17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts .

The program, “Coronavirus Facts and Fears,” also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71 and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.

However, social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.

“What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?” asks Twitter rabble rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.

Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.

In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: “I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

CNN’s social media was soon served with an onslaught of virtual eye-rolls.

“Greta Thunberg? Now, she’s a COVID expert? @CNN is a joke!” reads a top response to the network’s Wednesday announcement.

“Not picking on the kid,” said another. “Picking on a ‘news’ network for featuring a child to inform the public.”

“I remember when my thread about E. coli in Romaine lettuce went viral and trended on Twitter only to have CNN put Food Babe on the air to discuss the issue,” tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu, referring to another controversial health “expert” in the media. “Greta Thunberg on this panel is an improvement from that at least.”
