I copied and pasted the FOX News in order to reveal the truth for you to Google this blog title and view the video what the Chinese virologist, Dr. Li-Meng Yan. She knew the truth and risked her life, her husband's life, her supervisor's life, her parents' lives fleed from China to Hong Kong to USA and went on FOX News to tell the truth to the world. I didn't make up the story. You can Google it, if you haven't known.
======================================================================
EXCLUSIVE: Chinese virologist accuses Beijing of coronavirus cover-up, flees Hong Kong: 'I know how they treat whistleblowers'.
Li-Meng Yan told Fox News that she believes China knew about the coronavirus well before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors also ignored research she was doing that she believes could have saved lives.
Hours before she boarded an April 28 Cathay Pacific flight to the United States, the respected doctor who specialized in virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health had plotted her escape, packing her bag and sneaking past the censors and video cameras on campus.
She had her passport and her purse and was about to leave all of her loved ones behind. If she was caught, she knew she could be thrown in jail -- or, worse, rendered one of the "disappeared."
Yan told Fox News in an exclusive interview that she believes the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus well before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors, renowned as some of the top experts in the field, also ignored research she was doing at the onset of the pandemic that she believes could have saved lives.
She adds that they likely had an obligation to tell the world, given their status as a World Health Organization reference laboratory specializing in influenza viruses and pandemics, especially as the virus began spreading in the early days of 2020.
Yan, now in hiding, claims the government in the country where she was born is trying to shred her reputation and accuses government goons of choreographing a cyber-attack against her in hopes of keeping her quiet.
Yan believes her life is in danger. She fears she can never go back to her home and lives with the hard truth that she’ll likely never see her friends or family there again.
Still, she says, the risk is worth it.
"The reason I came to the U.S. is because I deliver the message of the truth of COVID," she told Fox News from an undisclosed location.
She added that if she tried to tell her story in China, she "will be disappeared and killed."
Yan's story weaves an extraordinary claim about cover-ups at the highest levels of government and seemingly exposes the obsessive compulsion of President Xi Jinping and his Communist Party to control the coronavirus narrative: what China knew, when it knew it and what edited information it peddled to the rest of the world.
Yan, who says she was one of the first scientists in the world to study the novel coronavirus, was allegedly asked by her supervisor at the University/WHO reference lab, Dr. Leo Poon, in 2019 to look into the odd cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China at the end of December 2019.
"The China government refused to let overseas experts, including ones in Hong Kong, do research in China," she said. "So I turned to my friends to get more information."
Yan had an extensive network of professional contacts in various medical facilities in mainland China, having grown up and completed much of her studies there. She says that is the precise reason she was asked to conduct this kind of research, especially at a time when she says her team knew they weren’t getting the whole truth from the government.
One friend, a scientist at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, had first-hand knowledge of the cases and purportedly told Yan on Dec. 31 about human-to-human transmission well before China or the WHO admitted such spread was possible.
She reported some of these early findings back to her boss, Yan said.
"He just nodded," she recalled, and told her to keep working.
A few days later, on Jan. 9, 2020, the WHO put out a statement: "According to Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause severe illness in some patients and does not transmit readily between people... There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster.”
Yan said she and her colleagues across China discussed the peculiar virus but that she soon noted a sharp shift in tone.
Doctors and researchers who had been openly discussing the virus suddenly clammed up. Those from the city of Wuhan--which later would become the hub of the outbreak--went silent and others were warned not to ask them details.
The doctors said, ominously, "We can't talk about it, but we need to wear masks,'" Yan said.
Then the numbers of human-to-human transmission began to grow exponentially, according to her sources, and Yan started digging for answers.
"There are many, many patients who don't get treatment on time and diagnosis on time," Yan said. "Hospital doctors are scared, but they cannot talk. CDC staff are scared."
She said she reported her findings to her supervisor again on Jan. 16 but that's when he allegedly told her "to keep silent, and be careful."
"As he warned me before, 'Don't touch the red line,'" Yan said referring to the government. "We will get in trouble and we'll be disappeared."
She also claims the co-director of a WHO-affiliated lab, Professor Malik Peiris, knew but didn't do anything about it.
Peiris also did not respond to requests for comment. The WHO website lists Peiris as an "adviser" on the WHO International Health Regulations Emergency Committee for Pneumonia due to the Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV.
Yan was frustrated, but not surprised.
"I already know that would happen because I know the corruption among this kind of international organization like the WHO to China government, and to China Communist Party," she said. "So basically... I accept it but I don't want this misleading information to spread to the world."
The WHO and China have vehemently denied claims of a coronavirus cover-up.
The WHO has also denied that Yan, Poon or Peiris ever worked directly for the organization.
"Professor Malik Peiris is an infectious disease expert who has been on WHO missions and expert groups - as are many people eminent in their fields," WHO spokeswoman Margaret Ann Harris said in an email. "That does not make him a WHO staff member, nor does he represent WHO."
Yan says despite any pushback, she has been emboldened by a sense of right and wrong and says she had to speak up despite the personal and professional consequences.
"I know how they treat whistleblowers," she said.
Like so many before her, once Yan decided to speak out against China, she discovered her life was apparently in jeopardy, as well as that of those closest to her.
It was a fear directly relayed to her and seemingly confirmed by U.S.-based Hong Kong blogger Lu Deh, she says.
After she shared some of her theories and suspicions with him, he told her she would need to relocate, perhaps to the United States, where she wouldn't have to constantly look over her shoulder. Only then would she be safe and have a platform to speak, he said.
Yan made the decision to leave, but things got complicated when her husband of six years, who also worked at her lab, discovered the telephone call between his wife and the blogger.
Yan told Fox News she begged her husband to go with her, and says while her spouse, a reputable scientist himself, had initially been supportive of her research, he suddenly had a change of heart.
"He was totally pissed off," she said. "He blamed me, tried to ruin my confidence... He said they will kill all of us.'"
Shocked and hurt, Yan made the decision to leave without him.
She got her ticket to the U.S. on April 27. She was on a flight the next day.
When she landed at Los Angeles International Airport after her 13-hour journey, she was stopped by customs officials.
Fear gripped her and Yan didn't know if she would end up in jail or be sent back to China.
"I had to tell them the truth," she said. "I'm doing the right thing. So I tell them that 'don't let me go back to China. I'm the one who came to tell the truth here of COVID-19... And please protect me. If not, the China government will kill me."
The FBI was allegedly called in to investigate. Yan claims they interviewed her for hours, took her cell phone as evidence and allowed her to continue to her destination.
The FBI told Fox News it could neither confirm nor deny Yan's claims; however, Fox News was shown an evidence receipt that appeared to confirm an interaction.
As Yan was trying to find her footing in America, she says her friends and family back home were being put through the wringer.
Yan claims the government swarmed her hometown of Qingdao and that agents ripped apart her tiny apartment and questioned her parents. When she contacted her mother and father, they pleaded with her to come home, told her she didn't know what she was talking about and begged her to give up the fight.
The University of Hong Kong took down her page and apparently revoked access to her online portals and emails, despite the fact that she says she was on an approved annual leave. In a statement to Fox News, a school spokesperson said Yan is not currently an employee.
"Dr Li-Meng Yan is no longer a staff member of the University," the statement read. "Out of respect for our current and former employees, we don’t disclose personal information about her. Your understanding is appreciated."
The Chinese Embassy in the United States told Fox News they don't know who Yan is and maintain China has handled the pandemic heroically.
"We have never heard of this person," the emailed statement read. "The Chinese government has responded swiftly and effectively to COVID-19 since its outbreak. All its efforts have been clearly documented in the white paper "Fighting COVID-19: China in Action" with full transparency. Facts tell all."
The WHO has also continued to deny any wrongdoing during the earliest days of the virus. The medical arm of the United Nations has been taken to task recently by scientists challenging its official view of how the virus spreads. The WHO has also altered the coronavirus timeline on its website, now saying it got information about the virus from WHO scientists and not the Beijing authorities--as it has claimed for more than six months.
Fox News has also reached out to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the scientists Yan accuses of suppressing her concerns for comment.
Yan says she'll continue to speak out--but knows there's a target on her back.

China strangles its world city

Posted:Jul 3, 2020 9:06 am
Last Updated:Jul 6, 2020 10:56 am 229573 Views

For decades, Hong Kong styled itself as Asia’s preeminent metropolis, a bustling former British colony at the center of the continent’s trade and logistics networks and the main international gateway to the booming Chinese market. Expats waltzed into Hong Kong as if it was an analogue of London or New York City. Local Hong Kongers exercised civil liberties unthinkable on the other side of the border with the mainland.
But those freedoms seemed to come under constant threat since Britain handed over Hong Kong to China’s authoritarian regime in 1997. Moves, large and small, by local authorities and their masters in Beijing to curtail Hong Kong’s special liberties sparked repeated rounds of protests, including the wave of demonstrations that paralyzed the city last year. And then, in one fell swoop, China dropped the hammer.
In what the Economist dubbed “one of the biggest assaults on a liberal society since the Second World War,” China implemented a sweeping, new national security law for Hong Kong on midnight Tuesday. “Overnight, Hong Kong’s 7.5 million residents were put under the same speech restrictions as the mainland, with possible life imprisonment for those deemed guilty of subversion — a standard charge used to jail political dissidents and human rights activists in China,” my colleagues reported.
To many observers, the law marks the definitive end to an era. It’s the latest and perhaps most emphatic demonstration of the draconian grip of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has shrunk the space for civil society throughout China, steadily squeezed political dissent in Hong Kong and erected a dystopia of mass detention camps for persecuted ethnic minorities in the far-western region of Xinjiang.
“Hong Kong is a great world city, not a remote area like Xinjiang. But the government of Xi Jinping is now clearly determined to bring it into line,” wrote the editorial board of the Financial Times. “The formula of ‘one country, two systems’ applied to Hong Kong since 1997 and sanctified in international agreements seems in effect to be over — a point underlined by the way the national security legislation was written and imposed from Beijing, without any participation by the Hong Kong government or legislature.”
Thousands of Hong Kongers still took to the streets in a show of defiance this week. Hundreds were arrested. The fear is that the breadth of the new law — which apparently also extends to people living outside of China’s legal jurisdiction — could break the popular will to stand against Beijing.
This week’s events can be interpreted as “a bloodless version” of China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Steve Tsang, a historian of Hong Kong at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, told the Atlantic. “People tend to focus on the killing [at Tiananmen], but the killing was an instrument,” he said. “The objective was to intimidate and terrify the people so that people don’t even think about [protesting] again.”
Not long ago, Hong Kong was seen as the city that would prefigure a more liberal, prosperous future for China. Now, its protesters are the canaries in the coal mine, left to voice the final cries of a society whose democratic aspirations are withering on the vine. Rather than seeing a metropolis of the future, analysts point to Hungary in 1956 or Prague in 1968.
Chinese officials seem unmoved by the torrent of Western criticism and sanctions coming their way. “The era when the Chinese cared what others thought and looked up to others is in the past, never to return,” Zhang Xiaoming, the executive director of China’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, told reporters.
Nor do they seem much bothered by the news this week that a host of foreign governments — including Australia, Taiwan, the United States and, most importantly, Britain — are considering fast-tracking permits for potentially millions of Hong Kong refugees seeking to quit their home city. That exodus may take place alongside a flight of Western capital and business — especially if the United States decides to scrap its special trade relationship with the territory, as President Trump has pledged to do.
Hong Kong’s diminishment may be worth the cost for Beijing, which can count on global business regardless and attract investors to gleaming megacities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai. But it may also serve the interests of the more radical set of Hong Kong’s protesters, who see the impossible odds of confronting the leviathan in Beijing yet still want to intensify the showdown. “If we burn, you burn with us,” a catchphrase from the Hunger Games series, has become a popular refrain.
“The choice is between dying quietly without the world noticing, or dying with dignity with the world noticing, and at the same time creating the chance of causing some damage to the people who kill Hong Kong,” Ho-Fung Hung, a professor of political economy at Johns Hopkins University, told Quartz.
“Hong Kong’s people have continually shown an ability to defy impossible odds and create beauty even in the harshest settings,” wrote Jeffrey Wasserstrom, the author of “Vigil: Hong Kong on the Brink.” But he laments the creeping nihilism of the times.

China’s campaign of ‘genocide’ could bring the U.S. and E.U. closer together

First of all, I received an article from my PhD physicist friend who read and share with me with link 3 days ago. I also heard the same information from CNBC yesterday.
======================================================================
The world knows about the dystopian situation in Xinjiang 新疆, a region in the far west of China that’s home to Turkic Muslim ethnic minorities. In recent years, more than a million Uighurs 維吾爾族人, once the predominant ethic group in the area, have been detained in a sprawl of camps and “reeducation” centers as part of an Orwellian program implemented in the name of “counterterrorism.” Critics and survivors claim it’s tantamount to a form of ethnic cleansing, aimed at squashing the region’s distinct cultures and identities.
Newly published investigative research showcases the depths of Beijing’s Xinjiang 新疆crackdown. For years, Chinese authorities have tried to suppress the birthrates of Uighurs 维吾尔族人 and other ethnic minorities in the region, according to a story published by the Associated Press and a study by German researcher Adrian Zenz, a veteran chronicler of repression in Xinjiang.
“Once in the detention camps, women are subjected to forced IUDs and what appear to be pregnancy prevention shots, according to former detainees. They are also made to attend lectures on how many they should have,” the AP reported. “Seven former detainees told the AP that they were force-fed birth control pills or injected with fluids, often with no explanation. Many felt dizzy, tired or ill, and women stopped getting their periods. After being released and leaving China, some went to get medical checkups and found they were sterile.”
Previous survivor testimonies have detailed forced sterilization being carried out in the camps, but new research reveals a chillingly systematic campaign. According to the AP, birthrates in some Uighur areas维吾尔自治区 of Xinjiang新疆 fell by 60% from 20'15 to 20'18. Though China has a decades-long history of draconian family planning edicts, it has relaxed measures such as the “one-” policy and is even trying to encourage families from the Han Chinese majority to have more . The national birthrate declined some 4.2% last year, but in Xinjiang, it fell 24%.
p.s. IUD is an "intrauterine device" - a little, t-shaped piece of plastic inserted into the uterus to provide birth control.

To an Aussie who is anti-Democracy, brown nose to communist

There is an Aussie who praised CCP and proud be a communist. He is a very disgust person brown nose communist but hides in Taiwan for Covit-19 prevention, waste Taiwanese taxpayer's m*ney. He is particularly obsessive with CCP. I wanted save 600 million Chinese if the " Gorge Dam" broken, but he wanted 600 million Chinese people died. CCP top 7 leaders already ran away and left 600 million Chinese people in danger. This Aussie is NOT welcome to my blogs. Shame on him to change his username to view and comment on my blogs.
CCP had Great Famine for 4 yrs that starved 40 millions of Chinese, a Cultural Revolution for a decade that massacred 30 millions of Chinese by used those deplorable, poverty and uneducated "Red Guards" k*ll the most intelligent Chinese professors, principals, teachers, rich land owners. It was a "Holocaust" its own people, and yet Mao's picture is everywhere, on Tienanmen Square, on every currency . Mao became the top #1 murderer of world (more than Hitler who k*lled 6 million Jews). Then on June 4th Tienanmen Square massacre in 19'89. Then Organ Harvesting Falun Gong practitioners and Tibetans. What a lucrative way to make m*ney. One Ch*ld policy by abortion. CCP has brainwashed its people for 70.5 yrs and censored their sources of News, so Chinese people don't know the true facts and not allow their people 2 talk about Cultural Revolution and Tienanmen Square Massacre or Organ Harvesting. CCP prohibits talk about bad news in China, but praised the USA bad news, such as "Police Brutality" and "Black Lives Matters". CCP suppresses the Hong Kong protestors and established "New National Security Laws" on Hong Kong which is a "One country, One system". CCP covered-*p the Covit-19 fact in the beginning and allowed their 5 million Wuhan people to and spread pandemic to the world and costed 487+ thousand people's lives. Now the whole world finally realized what CCP true is.
An Aussie on Chinese FriendFinder praised and proud of CCP has many times come to my blogs to attack me. He is anti-USA. Although USA is NOT very prefect, but the bipartisan system is not allow dictatorship such as in China. We have presidential election and transparent political policy. USA has helped South Vietnam to fight with North Vietnam and helped South Korea to fight with North Korea.
Any communist bloggers are NOT welcome to my blogs. We just can't see eye to eye with anything. We have different standard levels. I am anti-CCP can't agree with communist.
I am a Healthcare profession, I can't watch 600 millions people are dying from the flood if Gorge Dam broke. That Aussie will be glad see those 600 million Chinese drowning.

長江三峽大壩危險! 水位飆漲大雨不停, 6億人恐面臨潰堤危機

中國自進入6月以來，各地不停傳出暴雨成災的消息，昨日重慶綦江更是江水暴漲，形成80年來最大洪水，綦江沿岸的一樓商舖全遭淹沒，甚至有不少房舍與橋梁被大水沖垮。但老天爺似乎不給長江沿岸有喘息的空間，今日中國中央氣象台對長江沿岸10省發布暴雨黃色警報，且長江三峽大壩水位持續飆漲，甚至超出防洪限制近2公尺，因此有部分外界人士擔心，長江沿岸6億人恐怕正在面臨三峽大壩隨時會潰堤的危機。
今年6月以來，中國南方的氣象就不安靜，長江的上、中、下游不斷傳出災情，昨日除了重慶綦江，貴州遵義一樣也是大雨成災，大水淹沒大樓低樓層，並出現土石流災害。但今日長江一帶的氣候依舊不穩定，今日早上中國中央氣象台持續對長江沿岸10省發布大雨警報，包括湖南、湖北、安徽、浙江、上海、貴州，甚至是西藏東南部等地區，今日都會出現暴雨、大風、大雷等強烈熱對流氣候，極度不穩定。
另外《央視》更報導指出，受到近日強降雨影響，長江三峽大壩水位已經超出防洪限制近2公尺。旅居德國的中國水利專家王維洛在接受《自由亞洲電台》訪問時，就憂心地表示：「三峽大壩工程根本沒有政府誇口的防洪能力！」他表示三峽大壩現在面臨長江中上游暴雨、下游也暴雨的極端氣候狀態，大壩潰堤的風險永遠存在，而且中國在世界上是潰壩率最高的地方，是平均水準1倍以上。王維洛分析，中國潰壩率高的原因有三：50%來自大壩的設計錯誤，比如庫容設計太小、低估暴雨影響；40%來自工程品質太差，10%則是運行出錯。
長江中下游是中國人口密集度非常高的地方，總人口約有6億人，若長江三峽大壩真的潰堤，首當其衝的就是70萬人居住的宜興。中國水利部日前也警告，今年以來中國全國累積降雨量，比往年同期多6%，珠江流域的西江、北江，長江流域的湘江和鄱陽湖水系，浙江錢塘江水系等地148條河流，都超過警戒線水位。中國水利部指出，部分河川出現超過歷史紀錄的洪水，顯示「防汛形勢很嚴峻」。不過中國微博上現在也出現另一種聲音，稱長江三峽大壩很堅固，連核彈來襲都能抵擋。

600 million Chinese earn 1,000 RMB a month

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang 李克强 remarked that China has 600 million people with a monthly income of 1,000 RMB. That is more than 40% of the Chinese population, and the figures portray a reality that is starkly different from common perception. Li Keqiang is the top #2 leader in China. 1,000 RMB equals 140 USD. Can you survive at $140 a month?
Li’s response to a question about poverty alleviation. He said “Our country is a developing country with a big population. The per capita annual disposable income in China is 30,000 RMB. But there are still some 600 million people earning a medium or low income, or even less. Their monthly income is barely 1,000 RMB. It’s not even enough to rent a room in a medium Chinese city. And because of Covid-19, many families have encountered difficulties.”
Ever since Mr. Li Keqiang's comment on Chinese earning, the street vendors on many cities in many provinces from June 3rd to June 6th started vendor business without paying any rent, doing their businesses on the streets. Unfortunately, it only last 4 or 5 days, Xi 习近平 said street vendors are not good for China, and city control came to get rid of those street vendors.
Xi Jinping 习近平 was elected Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission at the fifth Central Committee Election of 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Li Keqiang 李克强 is currently the party secretary of the State Council and the deputy leader of the Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs.

UK promise to give millions of Hong Kong citizens a path to UK citizenship

Not only Boris Johnson’s promise give millions of Hong Kong citizens a path UK citizenship is a remarkable offer from a government, but also asked "Five Eyes Alliance" that includes Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA, Taiwan is willing take some Hong Kong citizens.
Ever since CCP has suppressed Hong Kong protestors last year on "Extradition" and recent passed "National Security Laws" on Hong Kong, the Hong Kong citizens started to escape from CCP to other countries. Hong Kong once a British colony and been educated as "Democracy" and "Freedom of Speech, Religion and Press", HongKongers can't endure CCP's communism. So, Britain is willing to take Hong Kong citizens to UK. However, Hong Kong has near 7.5 millions of people, so British asked "five Eyes Alliance" to help o*t. Taiwan has same language with Hong Kong (different local dialect though), there are many HongKongers already left Hong Kong and emigrated to Taiwan. Taiwan is a small island with 23.8 million people, can't take too many Hong Kong people. Taiwan welcomes Hong Kong citizens but the island is too small. HongKongers can have 6 choices of UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and Taiwan.

CCP imposes new security law to tighten grip Hong Kong

China signaled it will impose new national-security laws on Hong Kong, dealing a blow 2 the territory’s autonomy as Beijing seeks to stamp widespread pro-democracy protests that have challenged leader Xi Jinping.
Beijing’s lawmakers will review a resolution to set-*p and improve legal and enforcement mechanisms for national security in Hong Kong, with consideration “new circumstances and needs,” a spokesman for the legislature said at a briefing on May 21st, without elaborating.
The Hang Seng Index dived 5.56%, or 1,349.99 points, 22,930. Real estate firms were the worst " amid concern over potential outflows, with Sino Land Co and Link Reit plunging the most since 20'08.
CCP said "One country, Two systems" but CCP actually will implement "One country, One system" instead. Hong Kongers have many demonstrations and protests on "extradition" for over a year. Hong Kong is a free port, pursuing a free trade policy and do not maintain barriers on trade. No tariff is charged on import or export of goods. Hong Kong is a movie production place that similar U.S. Hollywood. Hong Kong was a British colony and escaped from CCP tyranny. Although Hong Kong is not a country, but they have knowledge of the democracy and freedom. However, Hong Kong's border connected 2 China, CCP always stretched their hands 2 control Hong Kong.
At midnight on June 30/July 1, 19'97, the crown colony of Hong Kong officially reverted 2 Chinese sovereignty, ending one hundred fifty-6 yrs of British rule. After a formal handover ceremony on July 1, the colony became the Hong Kong special administrative region (HKSAR) of the People's Republic of China. At midnight on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong reverts back 2 Chinese rule in a ceremony attended by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prince Charles of Wales, Chinese President Jiang Zemin, and U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. A few thousand Hong Kongers protested the turnover, which was otherwise celebratory and peaceful.
CCP has signed an agreement to be "One Country, Two Systems" for 50 years which should be July 1st, 20'47. Now is 20'20, twenty-7 years earlier.
I have many HongKonger friends in USA, they have escaped BEFORE June 30, 19'97 because they don't trust CCP will keep the promise. It is like I emigrated to USA in 19'80 because my mom didn't trust CCP. CCP has threatened to attack Taiwan after U.S. president Jimmy Carter abandoned Taiwan and established diplomatic relationship with China in late of 19'79. CCP only knows violence and suppression.
CCP has massacred 70 million of Chinese people in Mainland China. Then its Coronavirus pandemic has spread 2 the world and caused 342 thousands global death toll. In USA alone, 97,426 deaths from coronavirus. U.S. government will lower the U.S. flags to half-staff for 3 days for coronavirus victims.
Now CCP wants to stretch their hands to HongKongers "One Country, One System". If HongKonger email with any foreigner, CCP could send that HongKonger to jail and even send to China, if that email contain any message against CCP as a traitor. CCP don't know "Human Rights" and torture people can make them happy. CCP thought k*lled Chinese people in China is not enough, they want to k*ll Hong Kongers. CCP thought to k*ll its own country people, USA and the world can't object to it as it is Chinese internal affairs.

This blog topic has borrowed from Shakespeare Hamlet's ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ Soliloquy.
The Coronavirus pandemic has spread to the world. There are more than 4 million confirmed cases, more than 278 thousand lives died. In USA alone, there are 1.4 million confirmed cases and more than 81 thousand people died from Coronavirus. It is more than the 911 terrorist attack in 2001 of 2,996 persons died and Pearl Harbor 2,403 death toll in combined and ten times more. No wonder Trump is very angry, Americans are furious. Furloughed employees and lay-off gig workers from 3.5% soars 2 .7% according 2 Labor dept reported on May 8th. U.S. government issued "Emergency Stimulus Check" for $1,200 2 the unemployed. It is printing the m*ney but seems no other method 2 solve the problem at this time. Fed Reserve already lowered the interest rate 2 near zero %. This is worse than 19'30 recession.
Our lives have been changed since Covit-19, many businesses have 2 closed down, among the business the Travel industry is the worst.
1. Travel - Airline companies and cruise companies have tremendous loss. People sit next 2 each other in a row, no social distancing in the plane. Airline said they can remove the middle seats and adjust the A/C ducts, but the ticket prices have 2 increase 2 six times higher that passengers can't afford. Airline said they are selling the seats in the air. Airline will sanitize all the seat, aisle, and row. I am worry about the airline that I am going 2 Europe and river cruise line next year. There are hotels, motels, buses, museums, ... are also related 2 travel industry.
2. Restaurants and movie theaters - We are no longer can sit in a restaurant, enjoying the pleasant music, eating a delicious meal while checking the messages from smartphones. All the restaurant posted a note on the door "Take out or delivery only". At least restaurant can survive by "take out food", but they need 2 p*y rent, property tax, insurance, and overhead expenses, .... I once a pharmacy owner (self-employed), so I know those expenses.
3. Nail Pavilion and hair salons - I don't care about nail, but I need hair-cut and dye my hair every 4 weeks (the root is showing). All salon has closed for 2+ months long, my gray hair is showing. I called my hairdresser, she said they won't open until June or even later.
4. Shopping Mall - you can only order online and pick-up at store near you. Their employee will deliver to your car trun I normally like 2 window shopping (brick and mortar store), touch the material and try the dress on before I buy it.
5. Supermarket and grocery store - you need to wear a face mask and stand 6 ft apart on cashier's check out line. Supermarket and banks all taped 6 ft distance on the floor.
6. Elementary school to colleges - I don't have in the school, they are working. I don't know schools and colleges are open or close. My daugh*er is still working at a hospital in New York as a Resident doctor for OBGYN. She accepted a job offer to Texas in June. She said she works twelve hour shift every night and hospital full of Covit-19 patients. (New York city is the worst) My works from home for his newly job as a computer software.
7. Gym and Fitness center - 24hr Fitness has closed for 2 and 1/2 months due 2 coronavirus needs keep social distancing and sanitize the equipment. The Aqua Aerobics class I have attended also has been closed until further notice. I stay home watch CNBC and stock market.
There are many other jobs I didn't cover, but you can mention those jobs in the comments. Thanks.

It becomes obvious the imschuler is im4asianladys.
1. The both usernames started from "im".
2. asian should be Asian. The plural of lady is "ladies".
3. He changed the username so that he can read my blogs because I have blocked imschuler, but now im4asianladys posted a blog with the same subject title.
4. This change username only happened right AFTER I posted a blog " 2 Brendon who's user name is imschuler". I am smart enough 2 know his trick.
5. There are many Westerners who also been brainwashed by CCP for m*ney and intoxicated by Communism. I prefer Democracy. The two dramatic different opinions just can not co-exist in the same level. As Michelle Obama said "when they go low, we go high". They are low class, I don't want to communicate with low class people, so I blocked them.
