China’s secrecy about #coronavirus caused a disastrous delay in international efforts.

Chinese officials and their state-backed media outlets have stepped up their campaign to blame the Trump administration.
They are using the idea that calling #COVID19 the “Chinese virus,” “China coronavirus,” “Wuhan virus,” or anything else that may direct attention toward their government’s misbehavior is racist.
It’s a message that’s well-tailored to suck in the social justice warrior journalists and left-wing commentariat to carry out the goals of the communist Chinese regime.

Nevermind that they were using those terms just weeks ago: dailysign.al/2xPbNvD

.@maggieNYT recently tweeted a @MotherJones article warning that “hundreds of thousands of voters are set to be purged in two key swing states,” which “potentially” gives Republicans “a crucial advantage by shrinking the electorate.”

None of this, of course, is true.
Cynical pieces of this genre, an election-time tradition at this point, only allow Democrats to warn of widespread disenfranchisement and preemptively give aggrieved Democrats such as @staceyabrams a baked-in excuse for losing elections and smearing Republicans.
How many people who fall for these claims understand that both federal law and state law mandate the updating of voter lists?

.@ceidotorg just published a new paper: Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions.

Keep in mind that many of the grossly wrong environmentalist predictions were made by respected scientists and government officials.

Here's a list!
In 1969 Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich told @nytimes “the trouble with almost all environmental problems is that by the time we have enough evidence to convince people, you’re dead... unless we’re extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.”
In 2000, David Viner, a senior research scientist at University of East Anglia’s climate research unit, predicted that in a few years winter snowfall would become “a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”

Chinese state media are ramping up a new #Propaganda narrative: that #COVID19 originated in the United States.

The #GlobalPandemic began in #Wuhan, capital of #China’s #HubeiProvince, where thousands have died of the disease.
(Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/chinese-regime…
Several Chinese state media outlets published wrong translations of an exchange between US @RepHarley Rouda and @CDCDirector Redfield to insinuate that Redfield admitted to people dying of the #CCPVirus earlier in the flu season in the US.
The Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) has also ramped up its #Propaganda efforts by attempting to paint a picture that #Beijing is effectively handling the outbreak. theepochtimes.com/chinese-regime…

New #Coronavirus thread. Tagging someone in this tweet makes me paranoid I ruined it.

The old thread is here though
Here's what the #Coronavirus hospital looks like, 4 days of construction later. They're working as fast as they can but is it too late, regardless?

"Today, #China faces the spread of another mysterious disease, a #coronavirus, which so far has killed 17 [+] people & infected > 540 [++]. And while Beijing’s response has improved in some ways, it has #regressed in others. It is #censoring criticism."

nytimes.com/2020/01/22/bus…
"It is detaining people for spreading what it calls 'rumors.' It is suppressing info it deems alarming. Though China’s censors are busily scrubbing the Chinese internet, the... online community is registering its disappointment & alarm over Beijing’s handling of the new virus..."
CCP "has tightened its grip on the internet..media & civil society. It has deeper pockets & a greater ability to control the flow of info.[Thus], many of the media outlets, advocacy groups, activists &others who held the gov't accountable in 2003 have been silenced or sidelined."
