2. Huawei Isn’t A Mask Manufacturing Company. Any ‘Donated’ Masks Are Really A Tool Of Influence For The CCP

With reports that Huawei is planning to ‘donate’ masks to Canada, the first question to ask is why the Chinese Communist Party is using Huawei as the sender.

 

The fact is that Huawei is a tech company controlled by the CCP. Huawei is not a mask manufacturer.

So, if Huawei is ‘donating’ masks, that really means the Chinese Communist Party is giving the masks to Huawei, and then instructing the company to give the masks to Canada.

 

That also means the CCP could simply have given the masks directly from the manufacturer.

As a result, this is clearly an influence attempt.

Here is CTV’s take on this.

3. Israel Health Minister Who Called COVID-19 ‘Divine Punishment’ Tests Positive For Virus

Gay: Israel Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, who previously claimed that the coronavirus was “divine punishment against homosexuality,” has tested positive for the virus.

Naya Daur reports:

Israeli Health Minister Yaakov Litzman and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus. The minister had termed the deadly coronavirus as ‘punishment for homosexuality’ last month.

According to the report, last month, Yaakov Litzman, while discussing the coronavirus, said: 

It’s a divine punishment against homosexuality.

And now, earlier this month, Litzman and his wife have tested positive for the virus, forcing Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several top government officials of the country to go into quarantine.  

The Times of Israel reports Litzman ignored social distancing guidelines and in so doing endangered Israel’s leaders:

Israel Health Minister Who Called COVID-19 ‘Divine Punishment’ Tests Positive For Virus

The source for this is dubious. It’s the kind of thing that, if it were true, the Israeli media would have a field day with.

I suspect that it’s “fake news”.

It looks like some douchebag rabbi said such a thing, but NOT the health minister – who is a haredi, and did get coronavirus, but doesn’t seem to engage in such vile (public) pronouncements.

5. Chinese Regime Hoards Global Inventory of Medical Supplies, Leading to Growing Shortage Outside China

As the pandemic has spread throughout the world, hospitals have become overwhelmed by CCP virus patients.

N-95 masks, medical protective suits, goggles, surgical gloves, disinfectant, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines, and medical ventilators have become critical supplies to treat patients or protect medical workers from being exposed to the virus.

 

As many countries deal with escalating outbreaks, evidence has emerged that Chinese authorities have bought up billions of masks, as well as hundreds of tons of other critical medical supplies globally. Meanwhile, China, itself a major manufacturer of such medical supplies, has stopped exporting since January—just as the outbreak in China became severe.

6. Coronavirus Live Updates: Trump Threatens to Withhold Funding for World Health Organization

“We’re going to put a hold on money spent to the W.H.O.; we’re going to put a very powerful hold on it and we’re going to see,” Mr. Trump said, accusing the organization of having not been aggressive enough in confronting the dangers from the virus. “They called it wrong. They call it wrong. They really they missed the call.”
