1. China didn’t warn public of likely pandemic for 6 key days
In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations.
President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.
2. Remember the elderly assistance home in Montreal where 31 people died because staff abandoned them there when this pandemic broke out? Who was the owner of that facility?
Owner of Résidence Herron was once targeted in a money-laundering probe
The owner of Dorval’s Résidence Herron got his start in the elder care business in 1987 when he built a facility in Gatineau. In 1994, the Résidence de l’Île became the target of an RCMP investigation into money laundering, but no charges were filed in the case. The Résidence Herron, a long-term care facility where 31 seniors have died since the end of March, is under investigation by Montreal police amid allegations of negligence in how it responded to the coronavirus crisis.
The Gatineau facility was also the subject of three reports released last year filed by two Quebec coroners. The coroners probed the deaths of three patients between the ages of 82 and 98. Two of the patients arrived at a hospital severely malnourished, while the other died after staff at the residence failed for hours to notice that her oxygen mask had fallen off her face.
In one case, a coroner noted it took three months for the Résidence de l’Île to supply the deceased’s records.
3. $3.5 Billion Has Flowed From U.S. Taxpayers To The World Health Organization Since 2010
With his recent vow to halt and reassess all aid to the World Health Organization (WHO), President Trump legitimized critics who allege that the agency shielded information from the world about the lethality of the coronavirus and its ability to spread by human-to-human contact.
The WHO delegation highly appreciated the actions China has implemented in response to the outbreak, its speed in identifying the virus and openness to sharing information with WHO and other countries.
The most likely presidential policy response will be to re-purpose all or most federal money from the WHO. If done in this manner, the president must notify Congress, but has the executive power to reallocate the monies to other organizations. Therefore, legitimate programs will continue to help humanity.
4. Pakistan: Govt to allow congregational prayers after consulting ulema
ISLAMABAD:
Minister for Religious Affairs Noorul Haq Qadri has said the government will grant permission to organize congregational prayers – including Friday prayers and Tarawih – as well as Aitkaf – ten-day stay at a mosque during Ramazan – in consultation with religious scholars.
“Prominent scholars of all sects and politico-religious leadership will be taken into confidence in a meeting to be chaired by President Arif Alvi on Saturday. A decision will be made after consultation and understanding with the Ulema,” the minister said on Wednesday.
The minister’s statement came a day after prominent scholars of all schools of thought announced to resume congregational prayers at all mosques, stating that lockdown did not apply on mosques.

5. Trudeau gave nearly 1M$ for Covid19 research to WUHAN LAB suspected of kicking off this pandemic. (One wonders of this is the kind of information Trudeau’s new law would criminalize making public)
6. Canada will continue to support WHO
7. Multiple sources say that this virus DID ORIGINATE IN THE WUHAN LAB

8. Turks call for boycott of Netflix after rumours of gay character in new show
Rumours of a gay character in a new Turkish Netflix series, “Love 101”, have ignited calls for a boycott of the streaming service and sharp criticism from the broadcast regulator, Reuters reports.
A furore erupted after a now-deleted Twitter account @love101netflix suggested one of the main characters in the show – a story about students helping their teacher find love, which is set to air when Ramadan begins on April 24 – could be gay.
“We will not tolerate broadcasts that are contrary to the national and spiritual values ??of our society,” Ebubekir Sahin, president of the Radio and Television Supreme Council, was quoted as saying by Turkish newspaper Yeni Akit this week.
(At least the Turks stand for something. People here won’t boycott Netflix even after it started the crazy-racist show, “Dear White People”.)

10. A wonderful 2016 clip of President Trump and Hillary Clinton
Thank you Johnny U., PePi, M., ML, EB., Wrath of Khan, MissPiggy and all who have moved this project forward in any way this week.
Here is a good video on the nature of Political Correctness. The importance of this communist tool of subversion cannot be overestimated.
5- One million is only a gesture of fealty to the CCP. This isn’t even enough money to buy every Chinese spy currently active in Dystopia a lousy egg roll.
6- Migrant workers get money? Non-Canadian citizen migrant workers? Wow. Such taxpayer largesse at a time when I’m wondering how this will all be paid back.
2 – Sam (SAMIR) Chowieri – His photo in link below. Story is 2014.
Somehow, he was granted the Gatineau City permit to build a 66-unit residence building. To do so, many tens of 100+-year old trees would be chopped down. Citizens were furious.
I figure bribes were involved, they often are in these cases between the developer and the mayor. Under citizen pressure, the City made him sign a contract to replant 2,700 trees.
