Washington and Beijing .. charges and crossfire against the background of Corona




     US parliamentarians announced that China lied about the toll it had released to the victims of the emerging coronavirus on its soil, stressing that the true number of deaths from the epidemic is much higher, while Beijing responded to the "immoral" allegations.
During his daily press conference at the White House on developments in the fight against the "Covid 19" epidemic in the United States, the US President was asked about this, but he did not respond clearly.
He said: "Their numbers seem a little under reality." He added further, "On knowing whether their numbers are correct, I am not a Chinese accountant."

On Wednesday, Bloomberg News reported that a "confidential report" was presented to the White House last week.
Intelligence estimates, according to the agency, that the number of deaths and infections with the newly created Corona virus, which has been announced in China, is wrong and out of date.

"The Communist Party of China has lied and is lying and will continue to lie about the new Corona virus in order to protect the system," said Republican Senator Ben Sassi.


And his colleague in the House of Representatives, William Timmons, said that "American intelligence confirmed what we know mainly: China hid the seriousness of the virus for months," saying that "the world is paying today the price of their mistake."


Michael McFaul, one of the most prominent Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, based on this report also, noted that the Chinese authorities "concealed the true toll of people with the disease."


The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded to these allegations, considering the US skepticism about the inaccuracy of Beijing's statements about Corona as "shameful and immoral."

Beginning with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the US administration has criticized China in recent weeks, saying it has not committed to transparency about the seriousness of the spread of the disease in the world, but it has not yet accused Beijing of lying in the death toll.


And the coordinator of the crisis cell formed in the White House to combat the epidemic seemed to confirm that the announced Chinese outcome is less than reality.
"I think the medical staff saw through the Chinese numbers that the matter is dangerous but it is less than raising concerns, probably in light of what we see now in Italy and Spain because we do not have a large number of data," said Dr. Deborah Perks.

And China, where it recorded the first infection with "Covid 19", declared that 3,312 people died and 81,554 people were infected with the virus, which are lower numbers than those recorded in the United States so far (4,700 deaths and 209 thousand cases), according to the Johns Hopkins University reference census.


But many experts see that the Chinese numbers are much lower than the real number, based on the large number of families applying to receive the ashes of their relatives, benefiting from the lifting of isolation procedures in Wuhan, where the disease appeared.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside. This is the state's strongest earthquake since 1992, when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the St. George region, Utah's emergency management department said. The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

Panic in stores and markets on toilet paper and canned food

With the spread of the Corona virus around the world, shoppers are running around the markets, supermarkets and pharmacies either to fight the Corona virus or to prepare for possible quarantine. Early popular products were Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. As with the spread of the virus in a large way, the demand has become steadily on toilet paper. Because of the panic, fear of the people, and the high turnout in stores, most stores have restricted what people can buy, as shoppers cannot purchase more than six antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizers, and hard wipes. But why is the toilet paper the last purchase without others? The behavior of people and their high demand for toilet paper has been explained by the fact that since people do not know how to interpret the virus, it raises the need to prepare in any way possible. Something they can buy they know they might need ... is toilet paper. With the spread of the epidemic around the world, people were seen rushing t...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...
