China sort of comes clean about destroying COVID samples

China admitted they destroyed initial samples of the COVID-19 virus, which confirms the claim U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made last month and was condemned by the Chinese for telling the truth.

A supervisor with China's National Health Commission, Liu Dengfeng, admitted the government issued the order to dispose of the coronavirus samples at unauthorized laboratories on January 3rd, according to Newsweek. However, Liu denied they were destroyed to cover-up any wrongdoing and explained they were destroyed to "prevent risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters caused by unidentified pathogens." He also didn't specify how many labs were involved in destroying the samples.

Liu said that the labs were 'unauthorized' to handle such samples, and they had to be destroyed in order to comply with Chinese public health laws, which appear to be as useful to public health as an aspirin is for lung cancer.

Last month, Pompeo accused the Chinese government of not being transparent about spread of the coronavirus, and he was absolutely correct. "The  Chinese Communist Party still has not shared the virus sample from inside of China with the outside world, making it impossible to track the disease's evolution," he said at an April 22nd briefing.

"We strongly believe that the Chinese Communist Party did not report the outbreak of the new coronavirus in a timely fashion to the World Health Organization," he added. "Even after the CCP did notify the WHO of the coronavirus outbreak, China didn't share all of the information that it had.

"Instead it covered up how dangerous the disease is, It didn't report sustained human-to-human transmission for a month until it was in every province inside of China. It censored those who tried to warn the world in order to halt the testing of new samples, and it destroyed existing samples."

There have been about 4.6 million cases of COVID globally with at least 309,000 deaths.

The United States has been disproportionately affected by the disease, with the country accounting for almost a quarter of global cases and deaths. Had President Trump taken the advice from Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or New York City Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio, the spread of the virus in the U.S. would likely have been much greater, at least initially.

Although President Trump had often said that he has a good relationship with Chinese dictator President Xi Jinping, he now said, "I just--right now I don't want to speak to him. I don't want to speak to him." He did not say the same sentence a third time, as he often does.

Meanwhile, a Department of Homeland Security report revealed last Sunday said that US officials believe China 'intentionally concealed the severity' of the pandemic in early January and hoarded medical supplies.

The CIA thinks China pressured the WHO into delaying public warnings about COVID-19 early on, and if this is true, China needs to pay a heavy price.
