Coronavirus in China: No new infections reported
For the first time since the outbreak of the novel corona virus, China has not reported any new local infections nationwide (as of March 19). After a rapid increase in people infected with the coronavirus and deaths since the beginning of January , the situation seems to have calmed down.
A report by the Bild newspaper refers to an independent Chinese business newspaper called "Caixing", which is said to have brought frightening details to the public.
In Germany, however, the situation is exacerbated by the corona virus.
Coronavirus in China: has the top medical authority covered everything up?
On December 27, according to "Caixing" researchers *, several genomics companies will sequence the coronavirus from samples from people in the city of Wuhan.
Here a high similarity between the new and the Sars virus was identified, which had already caused a pandemic between 2002 and 2003. However, during the current Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, far more people died in China from the effects of the virus.
According to Bild.de , these results are said to have been forwarded to the CDC - the Center for Disease Control and Prevention - according to “Caixing”. China's top medical authority is said to have issued an order to cover up.
Furthermore, it should also not have been passed on to the public that parts of the medical staff had contracted patients in Wuhan.
It was only after the first confirmed death as a result of the corona virus on January 20 that China's president publicly informed about the outbreak of the virus. Three days later, Wuhan was sealed off from the outside world to prevent it from spreading - unsuccessfully.
