Look at the disdain and hate on Biden’s face. Could you imagine if Trump did that ?


Love how Joe Biden says “I am not working for you”. Anger is a sign of dementia.

A new petition filed at Change.org calling for the director-general of the Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) to resign


[FONT=arial !important]The finger-pointing begins as death toll from coronavirus pandemic surges past 100,000 people. However, the question everyone is asking is: could the coronavirus have been prevented early? Sadly, the answer is probably yes. A study published in March by researchers from the University of Southampton suggested that if Chinese authorities could have prevented 95% of virus cases if it had enacted measures after silenced whistleblower’s warning.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]If China had publicly warned and taken Covid-19 seriously 3 weeks earlier, up to 95% of worldwide cases could have been avoided. “If NPIs could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier in China, cases could have been reduced by 66%, 86%, and 95%, respectively, together with significantly reducing the number of affected areas,” the authors said in their study.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Another story published by South China Morning Post found that the first case of coronavirus happened on November 17, 2019 when a 55 year-old from Hubei province contracted the virus. That was a couple of weeks before Chinese authorities announced the emergence of the new virus. Many experts are now saying that much of the outbreak could have been avoided if China was forthcoming late November.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]By December 15, the total number of infections stood at 27 – the first double-digit daily rise was reported on December 17 – and by December 20, the total number of confirmed cases had reached 60. Interviews with whistle-blowers from the medical community suggest Chinese doctors only realized they were dealing with a new disease in late December.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]On January 14, the biggest misinformation came from none other than the the reputable World Health Organization(WHO), after the organization posted a tweet on Twitter. The January 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. There’s now a growing anger within the U.S. towards the agency’s amplifying of Chinese assertions about coronavirus, some of which were false.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]In the tweet, WHO said this: “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.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]A new petition filed at Change.org calling for the director-general of the Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) to resign has gone viral, amassing almost one million signatures. WHO boss Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has come under fire over the organization’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tweet generated reactions with from people on social media with many calling the credibility of the tweet into question. One Twitter said this: “Who are you? We don’t know you now…we don’t trust you …..if you are really capable organization ask China to compensate for every single damn thing happened….@UN again we are asking why China is having permanent membership…this country is dangerous to the world…”[/FONT]

How many people died of Covid-19 in China

A new data intercepted by the United States reveals that 21 million people died in China from December 2019 to March 2020, US intelligence officials conclude in a classified report for the Trump administration.
The Intelligence report stated that at least 20.9 million of the deaths were linked to coronavirus.
According to the US, the intercepted data that shows that China underreported its coronavirus infections and deaths was validated for a second time when it tallied with a data released by Beijing authorities. Beijing announced on March 19 that over 21 million cell phone accounts in China were canceled in the past three months while 840,000 landlines were closed.

China had reported little over 81,000 infections with 3,300 deaths.
An earlier intelligence report released by the US that China hid scale of the outbreak was quickly rejected by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. Hua said the country had been “open and transparent” about the extent of the outbreak before accusing Washington of trying to “shift the blame.”
But US officials say the report has been authenticated and has been confirmed that the closing of the phones numbers were as result of deaths caused by coronavirus. “Cell phones are an indispensable part of life in China and its only closed when the user is dead”, the report said.
“The digitization level is very high in China. People can’t survive without a cell phone,” Tang Jingyuan, a U.S.-based China Affairs commentator told The Epoch Times on March 21. “Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping… no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cell phones.”
“The Chinese regime requires all Chinese use their cell phones to generate a health code. Only with a green health code are Chinese allowed to move in China now,” Tang said. “It’s impossible for a person to cancel his cell phone.”
China introduced mandatory facial scans on Dec. 1, 2019 to confirm the identity of the person who registered the phone. As early as Sept. 1, 2010, China required all cell phone users to register the phone with their real identification (ID), by which the state can control people’s speech via its large-scale monitoring system.
Furthermore, Chinese people have to bundle their bank accounts and social security account with their cell phone because all these service’s Apps can detect the phone’s SIM card and then check with the state’s database to make sure the number belongs to the person.
Beijing first launched cell phone-based health codes on March 10. All people in China have to install a cell phone app and register their personal health information. Then the app can generate a QR code, which is possible in three colors, to classify people’s health level. Red means the person has an infectious disease. Yellow means the person might have an infectious disease. Green means the person doesn’t have an infectious disease.

21 Million Cell Phone Accounts Closed

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced the quantities of phone users in each province in February on March 19. Compared with the previous announcement, which was released on Dec. 18, 2019 for the data in November 2019, both cell phone users and landline users dropped dramatically. In the same period the year before, the number of accounts increased.
The number of cell phone users decreased from 1.600957 billion to 1.579927 billion, which is 21.03 million less. Landline users dropped from 190.83 million to 189.99 million, which is 0.84 million less.
In February 2019, the number increased. According to MIIT’s announcements on March 26, 2019 and Dec. 20, 2018, the cell phone users increased in February 2019 from 1.5591 billion to 1.5835 billion, which is 24.37 million more. The landline users raised from 183.477 million to 190.118 million, which is 6.641 million more.
According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, the country’s population at the end of 2019 was 4.67 million larger than 2018, and reached 1.40005 billion.
The 2020 decrease in landline users may be due to the nationwide quarantine in February, during which small businesses were shut down. But the decrease in cell phone users can’t be explained in this way.
According to the operation data of all three Chinese cell phone carriers, cell phone accounts increased in December 2019, but dropped steeply in 2020.
China Mobile is the largest carrier, and holds about 60 percent of the Chinese cell phone market. It reported that it lost 7.254 million cell phone accounts in February, and 0.862 million in January. But in Dec. 2019, it gained 3.732 million more users.

Misinformation of China and WHO

[FONT=arial !important]As we reported over the past few weeks, Dr. Anthony Fauci has been under criticism for the statements he made back in January over coronavirus. Back then, Dr. Fauci said that ‘Coronavirus is not a major threat for the people in United States, and this is not something the citizens should be worried about.” Now Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is responding to his critics and explains what led him to make those statements.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]It turned out Dr. Fauci was misled by disinformation (or lack thereof) from China and World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Fauci was referring to the infamous tweet from WHO when the organization echoed China’s lies. On January 14, WHO said this: “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.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]In an interview on Saturday, Dr. Fauci sets the record straight and discusses how China’s disinformation increased coronavirus spread. Dr. Fauci spoke about the virus coming to the United States and China’s handling of the crisis early on, saying that after the pandemic, the origins of misinformation will be investigated.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]“When we finally did get the virus here, it [became] clear that when we started looking [at what] was going on, [that] was misinformation right from the beginning,” Fauci told host Jesse Watters. “So whose ever fault that was, you know, we’re gonna go back and take a look at that when this is all over. But clearly, it was not the right information that was given to us.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Dr. Fauci went on to discuss the virus’ spread from China, and how it is transmitted in general. “When it became clear that not only is it transmitted efficiently from human to human, but that it was very, very contagious in the sense of easily transmittable, and it also had a high degree of morbidity and mortality. At that point, it became very clear that we were in for a problem because we were getting travel cases from China,” Dr. Fauci explained. “And even though we cut off the Chinese pretty quickly, once it seeded in this country, then it does what any highly transmissible virus does. So there’s nothing inconsistent about the information we had.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]When the host asked Fauci if he felt he was “misled” by the Chinese or if the World Health Organization (WHO) had deceived the United States. Dr. Fauci responded: “You know, I don’t know where the missteps went. The only thing I know what the end result was that early on we did not get correct information and the incorrect information was propagated right from the beginning because, you know, when the first cases came out that were identified, I think on December 31 in China, and we became aware of this.” He added. “They said this was just animal to human, period. Now, we know retrospectively that there was ongoing transmission from human to human in China, probably at least a few weeks before then.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]We are leaving you with this question: If Dr. Fauci is saying he was “deceived” and “misinformed” by the WHO and China, should the US remain in the organization?[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Below is a video of the entire interview.

Can coronavirus peak this week ?

[FONT=arial !important]The United States is currently leading the world in the number of deaths from the deadly coronavirus, topping 22,134 deaths. However, we may soon be able to breathe a sigh of relief if the new projection from CDC holds true. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director, the coronavirus outbreak could reach its peak in the United States this week, pointing to signs of stabilization across the country. Social distancing practices also help in bringing down the number.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]New York state is the most hit state but the number of deaths seems to be going down. New York state alone accounts for about 40% of all the coronavirus related deaths in the United States. About 2,000 deaths were reported for each of the last four days in a row, the largest number of them in and around New York City.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]“We are nearing the peak right now,” Robert Redfield, director of the CDC told NBC’s “Today” show. “You’ll know when you’re at the peak when the next day is actually less than the day before.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]In the meantime, the director stops short of given a time frame for the re-opening of the U.S. economy and praised social-distancing measures that he said helped curb the mortality rate. “There’s no doubt we have to reopen correctly,” Redfield said. “It’s going to be a step-by-step gradual process. It’s got to be data-driven.”[/FONT]

A few words about the World Health Organization and Dr.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

[FONT=arial !important]As coronavirus claims hundreds of thousands lives around the world, everyone is talking about lack of preparedness on the part of the U.S. government and public health officials here in the United States. However, before we cast all the blames on our leaders and health officials, it is important we remember how we got here in the first place.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]In a February 3 article titled, “WHO chief says widespread travel bans not needed to beat China virus,” Reuters reported that World Health Organization director Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there was no need for measures that “unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade.” Dr. Tedros added: “We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent,” according to Reuters. Dr. Tedros went on to praise China saying “Because of this strategy and it weren’t for China, the number of cases outside China would have been very much higher.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Dr. Tedros’ statement was in response to President Trump Administration restriction of entry into U.S. from China on January 31, 2020. At the time, the decision to close the boarder was not a popular one. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health, said the travel ban or China slowed Spread of the Wuhan Flu.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]On ABC News “This Week” on Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci indicated that the Trump administration’s early decision to ban most travel from China slowed the spread of the Wuhan flu in the United States. The point here is that, the President made the right decision despite the criticism from the head of WHO about his decision to close the border.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]This is not the first time WHO has misled our health officials. In tweet on January 14, WHO said this, “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.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Now imagine how many lives would have been saved if we had known back in January that the deadly virus transmitted from humans to humans.[/FONT]

Germany and reopen the economy


[FONT=arial !important]As government and public health officials in the United States continue to debate about when to reopen the economy, Germany is taking steps to reopen its economy as coronavirus cases drop. The nation’s Academy of Sciences Leopoldina recommended on Monday that the country relax its lockdown rules, starting with reopening of some schools, stores, and restaurants, according to a report from the German newspaper Local.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Instead of adopting a one-size-fit-all approach, Germany is moving towards a progressive lifting of restrictions linked to the coronavirus outbreak as new infections fall and the number of deaths remains far below its European neighbors.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Unlike its neighboring countries, Germany has the lowest deaths per million partly due to the early containment and mitigation measures the country put in place. So far, Germany has at least 131,170 confirmed cases of coronavirus with only 3,272, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Germany has also conducted the highest number of test among all the countries in Europe. As of today, Germany has conducted a total of 1,317,887 COVID-19 testing.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]The researchers also recommend the mandatory use of face masks in future. “The wearing of mouth and nose protection should become mandatory as an additional measure in certain areas such as public transport,” said experts. However, they also cautioned that the lifting of restrictions would also require a significant increase in testing, as most COVID-19 virus tests in Germany are only given to symptomatic people, not asymptomatic citizens.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]The Academy of Sciences Leopoldina report also stated that “criteria and strategies for a gradual return to normality” should be developed. The experts recommended reopening schools as soon as possible, starting with primary and middle schools. They said most child care facilities, such as Kitas, should initially only open to a very limited extent because smaller children would likely not be able to follow hygiene and distance rules well.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Germany is not alone in planning to reopen its economy, leaders across Europe are weighing steps to exit quarantines, with Denmark set to reopen day care centers and primary schools. Spain, Germany and Italy all reported fewer infections, suggesting the crisis continues to ease.[/FONT]

Should the media be held responsible for misleading the public about their early coverage of coronavirus?


[FONT=arial !important]It’s all over the news, the death toll in the United States due to the coronavirus is higher than any other country in the world. Yes, but what many people are not talking about is that the U.S. population is also higher than most of Italy, Spain, France, and other countries with high number of coronavirus deaths. Many pointed out that the higher number of deaths was due to our slow response to social distancing guidelines. This fact is also supported by a piece from New York Times titled, “the timing of social distancing can have an enormous impact on death tolls.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]However, is it possible that there are other factors at play here? As we all know, the guidelines about social distancing did not start until late January or early February. No doubt, everyone would agree with New York Times story that social distancing can indeed prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 disease. Did mainstream media downplay the coronavirus risks during the early months while blaming others for the same thing? The other question is, when did we start practicing social distancing? And why didn’t we start early?
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]To answer this question, we need to understand how and where people get their news. For the most part, most Americans get their news from popular mainstream media like NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and their local affiliate stations. For tech savvy people, most go online to sites like VOX, BuzzFeed, Axios, Recode and many more. By the way, aren't we the only ones who ask these question? VOX just wrote a piece just two days ago titled, “What went wrong with the media’s coronavirus coverage?”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]The point is, some of the media outlets knew their reporting probably misled the public and caused immense damage that they had to change their headlines. For example, Maimuna Majumder, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School, told BuzzFeed News on January 28 — in a story originally titled “Don’t Worry About The Coronavirus. Worry About The Flu” — that some worst-case projections about the disease’s velocity were “absolutely premature and hyperbolic.” However, BuzzFeed later changed its headline to this: “Here’s What We Do And Don’t Know About The Deadly Coronavirus Outbreak.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Washington Post even went as far as blaming the government’ response to coronavirus. In a February 3 story titled, “Why we should be wary of an aggressive government response to coronavirus,” Washington Post said, “harsh measures tend to scapegoat already marginalized populations.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Almost through the middle of the story, BuzzFeed said this: “Update: This story was originally published with a different headline comparing the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in the US to the flu. The headline, and the story, was based on information available in late January. Because the story is still being widely shared, we have decided to change the headline in order to reflect our current understanding of the pandemic. Here is the most recent BuzzFeed News coverage on the coronavirus.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Anyway, let’s get back to the main point of the story. To get a good understanding of how media coverage of coronavirus could have impacted people’s behaviors during these early months, we scoured the internet for headlines from mainstream media during the months of January and February. Below are our findings.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]February 21: In an article titled, “Racist attacks on Asians spreading faster than coronavirus in US,” CNN claimed “racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians” were spreading faster than the coronavirus itself. According to CNN’s “experts,” rampant ignorance and misinformation about coronavirus has led to racist and xenophobic attacks against anyone who looks East Asian.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]February 18: The New York Times published a piece titled, “In Europe, Fear Spreads Faster Than the Coronavirus Itself.” The article claimed fear was spreading faster than the coronavirus in Europe. After 40 cases were confirmed, the New York Times decided to highlight the supposed “stigmatization” that came with having the coronavirus and how it hurt people’s feelings. Three weeks later, Italy shut down completely and thousands of people died.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]February 1: Washington Post wrote a piece titled: “Get a grippe, America. The flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus, for now.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]January 31: Vox: This Isn’t A Deadly Pandemic. In a since deleted tweet Vox tweeted, “is [coronavirus] going to be a deadly pandemic? No.” Vox tweeted this on January 31, two days after the White House announced they were creating a coronavirus task force and would expand their travel ban to China.


[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]

January 31: In an article titled, “How our brains make coronavirus seem scarier than it is,” Washington Post said Coronavirus Isn’t So Scary. In a “perspective” article, retired Harvard professor David Ropeik wrote for the Washington Post how the cognitive biases in our brain make coronavirus seem scarier then it actually is.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]January 29: Talking about flu instead of coronavirus, USA Today said this: “Something Far Deadlier Than The Wuhan Virus Lurks Near You,” USA Today, 1/29/20
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]January 28: BuzzFeed News wrote in a story originally titled “Don’t Worry About The Coronavirus. Worry About The Flu.” However, BuzzFeed later changed its headline to this: “Here’s What We Do And Don’t Know About The Deadly Coronavirus Outbreak.”[/FONT]

U.S. government believe that coronavirus started in Chinese lab

[FONT=arial !important]Two weeks ago, we broke the news about the possible origins of coronavirus. The story was based on report from two Chinese scientists who claimed the virus likely originated from horseshoe bats used for research in two China labs.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Now a new report from Fox News confirmed “that “United States now has high confidence that while this is a naturally occurring virus, that emanated from a virology lab in Wuhan China but not as a bioweapon.” Fox News went on to say that there is now new evidence that China knew severity of COVID-19 but delayed critical responses. According to the report, the virus infected a lab worker who in turn infected his girlfriend. Fox News also reported that government sources are “100 percent confident” that China alerted the data and statistics to contain the information.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Back in February, officials from World Health Organization (WHO) said the new coronavirus that emerged from a seafood market in Wuhan, China, likely originated in bats and then jumped to an “intermediate host” before infecting humans. This assertion from WHO is a widely held belief among scientists and researchers here in the United States and Europe.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Another report from the South China Morning Post, confirmed the first earlier case of coronavirus Covid-19 started on November 17, 2019 when a 55 year-old from Hubei province contracted the virus, weeks before Chinese authorities announced the emergence of the new virus. “The first case of someone in China suffering from Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, can be traced back to November 17, South China Morning Post reported, citing government data obtained by the news outlet.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Then in January 2020, The Lancet, a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal, published a paper that challenges the hypothesis that Wuhan seafood market may not be source of the novel coronavirus that has claimed at least 42,114 lives globally. The paper, written by a large group of Chinese researchers from several institutions, offers details about the first 41 hospitalized patients who had confirmed infections with what has been dubbed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The paper, however, did not say the virus originated from bats. As confirmed cases of a COVID-19 surge around the world, all eyes have so far focused on a seafood market in Wuhan, China, as the origin of the outbreak.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]Now, a new unearthed paper posted online back on February by a group of Chinese scientists may completely change our understanding of the actual origin of the novel coronavirus. A paper by two Chinese scientists claimed the virus originated from horseshoe bats used for research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Wuhan Center for Disease Control (WHCDC), a nearby biolab run by China’s Centers for Disease Control. They argue that “Patient Zero” was a lab worker who accidentally infected himself with a bat coronavirus. The paper was quickly censored by the Chinese authorities, which only heightens suspicions.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]The paper, titled The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus and co-authored and by Chinese scientists Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao, shows that the test conducted on horseshoe bats at WHCDC could have spawned the contagion in Hubei province and not from the bats sold at the Wuhan seafood market. The two authors claims the WHCDC kept disease-ridden animals in laboratories, including 605 bats. The author also stated that bats – which are linked to coronavirus – once attacked a researcher and ‘blood of bat was on his skin.’

[/FONT][FONT=arial !important]“The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market. There was possible natural recombination or intermediate host of the coronavirus, yet little proof has been reported,” Chinese scientists Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao, said.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]The report says: ‘Genome sequences from patients were 96% or 89% identical to the Bat CoV ZC45 coronavirus originally found in Rhinolophus affinis (intermediate horseshoe bat).’ It describes how the only native bats are found around 600 miles away from the Wuhan seafood market and that the probability of bats flying from Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces was minimal.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]In addition there is little to suggest the local populace eat the bats as evidenced by testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors. Instead the authors point to research being carried out withing a few hundred yards at the WHCDC. One of the researchers at the WHCDC described quarantining himself for two weeks after a bat’s blood got on his skin, according to the report. That same man also quarantined himself after a bat urinated on him.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]“In summary, somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus. In addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. Safety level may need to be reinforced in high risk biohazardous laboratories. Regulations may be taken to relocate these laboratories far away from city center and other densely populated places,” the authors concluded.

People losing their jobs not as a result of any faults of their own but because of an unseen enemy that started out of Wuhan, China.


[FONT=arial !important]While a lot of attention has been focused the number of deaths from the deadly coronavirus, less attention is paid to millions of Americans that have lost their jobs. Just for a moment, try to wrap your head around this: In the last three weeks alone, 16,780,000 jobless claims filed, additional 5,500,000 forecast today would equal 22,280,000.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]According a Thursday report from the Labor Department, 5.245 million more Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance last week. That brings the total number of unemployed Americans to just over 22 million, wiping out all the job gains since the Great Recession.
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important]That number is a little higher than the total number of jobs created since Great Recession, which stood at 22,088,000. In other words, in just in one month, 10 years of job creation was wiped out because of coronavirus. Let that just sink for a moment. It is sad and heart breaking that people losing their jobs not as a result of any faults of their own but because of an unseen enemy that started out of Wuhan, China.

[FONT=arial !important]With no concrete date and signs of when people are allowed to return back to work, the jobless situation is likely going to get worse before its better. Yesterday, Abbott Laboratories launched a new coronavirus antibody test that can test if you’ve ever had coronavirus, could test up to 20 million screenings in June.

[FONT=arial !important]According to the experts, the test might exempt you from social distancing—if you pass and potentially start allowing people to return back to work. Infectious disease experts have said that such antibody screenings, also called serological tests, will be needed to track the spread of the coronavirus in the United States and elsewhere, and to develop containment strategies.

[FONT=arial !important]Since this pandemic started, food banks across the country have seen increase in demand for food and basic items. For example, Feeding America saw increase in demand from 98% of its member banks, according to a recent survey. Home bound with no jobs, millions of Americans are struggling to take care of the families. According to data from Bankrate’s 2019 Financial Security Index, half of American adults have either no emergency savings or not enough to cover three months of living expenses.

Nobody in this world is "STUPID" like my President Donald Trump

Trump Does The Unthinkable: by Liz Crokin ----

Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss anything? HE is also deplorable. The left and the media launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump everyday; yet, nothing could be further from the truth about the real estate mogul.

As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.

Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking business man.

On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.

Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
----------------------------

• In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.

• In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.

• In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.

• In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.

• In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on it's seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks.

• In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.

• In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.

• In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded

• In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.

• In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.

• Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.

Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help. Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd run for president. He said: If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally, because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.

That day has come.

Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable!
On the other hand. have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources?
Now that's really unthinkable!
This is the Trump that won the election and will save America. He is our president.
