Why Nations Are All Lying About The Extent And Depth Of Coronavirus

You know, the era of the big nations competitions and the pseudo-wars by them all? Remember the crisis with the USA over us assassinating one of their high generals and Iran they getting caught lying to their people about shooting down one of their 
Trump accuses ‘MSDNC’ and CNN of ‘doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible;’ lashes out at Democrats

President Trump on Wednesday attacked CNN and “MSDNC (Comcast)” — a reference to MSNBC — for “doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible.” (He misspelled coronavirus in his tweet.)

“Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape!,” Trump added.

In a separate tweet, he said he would be holding a news conference at the White House at 6 p.m. Wednesday, alongside representatives for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On Tuesday, Trump had defended his administration’s response to the coronavirus epidemic against a flurry of criticism from Democratic presidential candidates, who said in Tuesday night’s primary debate that he wasn’t doing enough to address the deadly outbreak.

“CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday.

“No matter how well we do, however, the Democrats talking point is that we are doing badly,” he wrote. “If the virus disappeared tomorrow, they would say we did a really poor, and even incompetent, job. Not fair, but it is what it is.”

The president’s tweets came as Democrats on the debate stage in South Carolina blasted the way the administration has handled the public health crisis.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ridiculed Trump’s recent unfounded assertion that the outbreak could “miraculously” subside by April — a claim that health experts say is dubious at best.

On Tuesday, Trump also downplayed the economic impact of the outbreak in the United States, even as analysts voiced concerns.

More than 800,000 South Koreans call for President Moon to be impeached over virus

TOKYO — More than 800,000 South Koreans have signed a petition calling for President Moon Jae-in to be impeached over his handling of the coronavirus epidemic, arguing that he was more worried about currying favor with the Chinese government than curbing the spread of the disease.

Moon has been widely criticized by his conservative opponents for failing to suspend travel from China, with restrictions applying only to people from the worst-affected province of Hubei and its capital, Wuhan.

“The most important thing for the president of the Republic of Korea is protecting its own people. Had he thought of his fellow Koreans, he should have banned entry of visitors from all parts of China,” the petition says.

The petition also criticizes Moon for sending 3 million face masks to China, while failing to address a spike in the price of masks in his own country.

“Seeing Moon Jae-in’s response to the new coronavirus, I feel that he is more of a president for China than Korea,” the petition says. “We cannot just watch this catastrophe any more.”

South Koreans are fond of petitions and demonstrations, but with legislative elections in April, this could mark the first time that the international coronavirus epidemic becomes an active election issue.

South Korea has reported 1,146 coronavirus cases and 12 deaths, the second-highest national tally after China.


The presidential Blue House has to respond to any petition that garners more than 200,000 signatures in a month.
coronavirus situation going to interact with the USA crisis? But the theme here is why are all nations lying about the coronavirus? They say Trump is terrified he is going to lose the election over coronavirus and a USA stock market collapse:

Iran confirms 19th death, official tells state television

Nineteen people have died in Iran from the novel coronavirus outbreak, Iranian Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur told state television on Wednesday.

Iran has the highest number of deaths from the coronavirus outbreak outside China. Jahanpur said the number of confirmed cases in the country now stands at 139.

Jahanpur said Iranians should cancel nonessential travel and urged people to avoid Gilan and Qom, areas of the country with lots of confirmed coronavirus cases.

The large number of novel coronavirus infections in Iran has stretched the country’s health system, already under pressure from international isolation caused by punishing U.S. sanctions.

Speaking on Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the country would bring the outbreak under control within weeks.

Rouhani emphasized that more common illnesses such as influenza kill people every year, adding that deaths from the coronavirus “are no more than influenza.”

“The point I want to emphasize is that [the] coronavirus should not become a weapon at the hand of our enemies,” Rouhani told a cabinet session, according to a transcript on his website.
