US medical workers sue China for ‘hoarding’ PPE during coronavirus pandemic
By Andrew Denney
April 8, 2020
A group of frontline healthcare workers are suing the Chinese government, claiming that it mishandled the coronavirus outbreak and is now hoarding badly-needed personal protective equipment and selling it for profit.
In a lawsuit filed in a federal court in West Palm Beach, Fla. against the Chinese Communist Party, the healthcare workers charge that it is blocking exports of gloves, goggles and other PPE and selling it at a substantial mark-up while people across the globe are getting sick and dying from COVID-19.
They also allege that the Chinese government should be held responsible for the extent of the coronavirus outbreak because it initially tried to downplay its dangers, censored doctors who tried to sound the alarm and stalled in locking down Wuhan, the sprawling metropolis that has been identified as ground zero for the bug.
“It’s almost straight out of a movie — ‘let’s cause the world to get a virus and let’s profit off of it,’” said Jeremy Atlers, a spokesman for the Boca Raton-based Berman Law Group.
“In New York, we have doctors and nurses in garbage bags,” Antlers said, referring to a shocking report by The Post.
The plaintiffs include a New York doctor, a New Jersey surgical technologist, a West Virginia nurse and a doctor and a nurse working in Florida. They claim that their suit could cover nearly 4 million US healthcare workers.

US should lift sanctions on other countries from getting medical equipments before complaining.

It says no CLEAR evidence.I was wrong about the date. It was a WHO tweet in mid-January, not mid-February as I said in my post. I will change my post above right now.
World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO
Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China

Also there is 2 types of human to human transmission.
One is transmission that are due to close contact like HIV.
Then the aerosol type human to human transmission.

Yet, trump violates the WTO, and expects China to die for Amerikkans
Are Trump’s tariffs legal under the WTO? It seems not, and they are overturning 70 years of global leadership

Once the corona scare is over jobs in China will move to India
Once the corona scare is over, jobs in China will move to India in the aftermath of this pandemic. Wary of Chinese sloppiness (evident during the corona drama) and impressed by Indian efficiency and resilience (also evident during the same drama), West will setup manufacturing units in India. Western investments will gradually increase. Unemployment will be completely abolished in India. It will be like how it was in Soviet Union viz. a small minimum salary would be guaranteed to everyone. In the end, it would transpire that the corona hoax was orchestrated by RAW – India’s external intelligence agency – in order to eradicate poverty. Just what is the secret of RAW’s Midas touch?

Poll Suggests Media’s Efforts Promoting Chinese Talking Points Are Failing Miserably
Leah Barkoukis

On March 26, for example, CNN reported: "[The] U.S. has more known cases of coronavirus than any other country" -- a point echoed by The New York Times on the same day: “The U.S. Now Leads the World in Confirmed Coronavirus Cases."
This as China was reporting a flatlining of coronavirus cases in the country.
The numbers on Wuhan coronavirus cases out of China are bogus. Same for Iran. Comparing the U.S. to these countries will result in bad numbers. Garbage in, garbage out.
That’s not all, of course. The New York Times also praised China’s “humanitarian aid blitz” in other countries struggling thanks to the communist party’s lies about the virus and efforts to silence whistleblowers who tried to warn the world. “In doing so, it’s [China] stepping into a role the West once dominated.”
In reality, China wasn’t donating anything, but was selling medical equipment…which in many cases turned out to be “substandard and raising serious questions about the quality of the supplies…”
Journalists even appeared to credit the communist party's efforts in containing the virus' spread (which they clearly didn't do at all).
“How uncomfortable is it,” NBC's Chuck Todd asked, “that perhaps China’s authoritarian ways did prevent this? Meaning, had China been a free and open society, this might have spread faster?”
The America people, it turns out, aren’t buying any of what the media is trying to sell, according to a recent Harris poll.
A majority of respondents—54 percent—said they agreed that China should be "required to pay other countries for the spread of the virus." A majority of independent voters expressed support for Chinese reparations, as did 41 percent of Democrats.
The poll's findings suggest that most Americans, and most Democrats, are not persuaded by the national media's efforts to downplay China's role in causing the pandemic, which in some cases has included the promotion of Chinese propaganda.
For example, 77 percent of Americans and 67 percent of Democrats said China was responsible for the spread of the coronavirus. Almost as many Americans—72 percent—said the Chinese government has not been accurately reporting information about the virus's impact in China; 66 percent of Democrats agreed.
A majority of Americans are even on board with the characterization of coronavirus as the “China virus” –with 52 percent agreeing and 48 percent disagreeing.
Efforts by the Trump administration to impose trade restrictions on the country are also popular, with 69 percent of Americans approving and 53 percent of Democrats even supportive of such measures.
