White House Asks Scientists To Investigate Whether 2019-nCoV Was Bio-Engineered by Tyler Durden Fri, 02/07/2020 - 17:26 63 SHARES TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint A week ago, we published details that raised questions about the source of the Wuhan novel coronavirus, specifically questioning the official theory for the spread of the Coronavirus epidemic, namely because someone ate bat soup at a Wuhan seafood and animal market as a fabricated farce. The real reason behind the viral spread, we suggested, was that a weaponized version of the coronavirus (one which may have originally been obtained from Canada), was released by Wuhan's Institute of Virology (presumably accidentally ), China's only top, level-4 biohazard lab, which was studying "the world's most dangerous pathogens." At the time we summarized the series of dots and asked "real reporters" to connect them: One of China's top virology and immunology experts was and still works at China's top-rated biohazard lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which some have affectionately called the real Umbrella Corp. Since 2009, Peng has been the leading Chinese scientist researching the immune mechanism of bats carrying and transmitting lethal viruses in the world. His primary field of study is researching how and why bats can be infected with some of the most nightmarish viruses in the world including Ebola, SARS and Coronavirus, and not get sick. He was genetically engineering various immune pathways (such as the STING pathway in bats) to make the bats more or less susceptible to infection, in the process potentially creating a highly resistant mutant superbug. As part of his studies, Peng also researched mutant Coronavirus strains that overcame the natural immunity of some bats; these are "superbug" Coronavirus strains, which are resistant to any natural immune pathway, and now appear to be out in the wild. As of mid-November, his lab was actively hiring inexperienced post-docs to help conduct his research into super-Coronaviruses and bat infections. Peng's work on virology and bat immunology has received support from the National "You Qing" Fund, the pilot project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the major project of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Of course, that is all ancient history and Zero Hedge was permanently banned from Twitter for raising such a conspiracy theory about a publicly-searchable person working a publicly-searchable place. But, bygones being bygones, we moved on... until today when no lesser entity than The White House began asking questions about the origin of the deadly coronavirus. As ABC News reports, the director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in a letter to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, requested that scientific experts "rapidly" look into the origins of the virus in order to address both the current spread and "to inform future outbreak preparation and better understand animal/human and environmental transmission aspects of coronaviruses." Specifically, ABC News' Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton asked the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease about concerns that stem from misinformation online that the novel coronavirus could have been engineered or deliberately released. The White House has good reason to question the official story as expert virologist Dr. James Lyons-Weiler of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, showed and explained how the coronavirus' genetic sequence - which has been publicly released by China - contains a unique "middle fragment" encoding a SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) spike protein that appears, according to his genomic analysis, to have been inserted into the 2019-nCoV virus using "pShuttle" technology. This technique can only be done in a lab, as it has never occurred naturally in nature. One additional, major reason we suspect this line of logical reasoning could be correct - as conspiratorial as it may seem - is that Chinese authorities have launched a full-scale crusade to disprove the fact that this deadly virus was man-made. Faced with external doubts and accusations, on February 2nd, Shi Zhengli responded angrily in the WeChat circle of friends: Additionally, as The Washington Times reports, one ominous sign, said a U.S. official, is the that false rumors since the outbreak began several weeks ago have begun circulating on the Chinese Internet claiming the virus is part of a U.S. conspiracy to spread germ weapons. As a reminder, it was discovered that Shi Zhengli had participated in a study published in Natural Medicine on November 9, 2015, about a disease that can be caused by a SARS-like coronavirus (SHC014-CoV) found in Chinese horseshoe bats. We are sure this is all just a coincidence - Wuhan epicenter... Only P4 facility in China... A lab investigating bats infected with genetically engineered Coronavirus... Coronavirus infected Bats... Chimeric bio-engineered viruses.... and that is probably why The White House is now asking authorities to investigate the source of the disease. Of course, when Zero Hedge suggested the same thing, highlighting key personnel in the Wuhan lab that were publicly acknowledged as responsible for that research, we were immediately banned by Twitter. We look forward to reading Buzzfeed's article decrying The White House for daring to ask questions about the origin of this deadly pandemic. https://www.zerohedge.com/health/white-house-asks-scientists-investigate-whether-2019-ncov-was-bio-engineered

02/20/2020 12:35 Views 52 Section: Iraq American newspaper: The Iraq war cost Washington $ 2 trillion deducted from the taxpayers Baghdad / Obelisk: The American economic newspaper, Business Insider, reported in a report published on Friday, February 7, 2020, that the war in Iraq cost the United States of America more than $ 2 trillion, noting that these war funds have been deducted from the taxpayers. The newspaper said, that a new report from the War Costs Project at Brown University, estimated that American taxpayers paid an average of $ 8,000 each and more than $ 2 trillion in total for the Iraq war alone. The newspaper added, that the actual costs of the war exceed the Pentagon’s approved budgets, and move to other parts of the federal budget Unlike most wars in history, the war is funded by borrowing money, which leads to the payment of large amounts of interest - not to mention the increase in wages to retain soldiers Medicare and disability. And regardless of the high cost of the Iraq war, the group estimates that the United States has spent more than $ 6.4 trillion on all its efforts in the war on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, and related violence in Pakistan and Syria. According to a new estimate by Neta Crawford, co-director of war costs, US taxpayers paid nearly $ 2 trillion in costs associated with the war on the Iraq war alone. Newsweek estimated that the total war in Iraq amounts to about $ 8,000 per taxpayer, a figure that far exceeds the Pentagon's estimate that Americans have paid an average of $ 3,990 to both Iraq and Syria so far. In March 2019, the Department of Defense estimated that wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria combined cost each US taxpayer approximately $ 7,623 on average. The War Costs Project, through Brown University, is researching the human, economic and political costs of the post-9/11 wars launched by the United States. It is important for Americans to understand exactly what their taxes are paying when it comes to war-related expenses, Stephanie Saville, co-director of War Costs Projects, told Insider. He continued: While the Americans are discussing the advantages of the American military presence in Iraq and elsewhere in the name of the American war on terrorism, it is necessary to understand that the costs of the war far exceed what the Ministry of Defense allocated in emergency operations overseas and access to many parts of the federal budget. The Pentagon has allocated about $ 838 billion in emergency and foreign emergency operations for military operations in Iraq from fiscal year 2003 to 2019, including operations fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria, however, Saville says that the actual costs of the war often exceed the cost of the budgets that he agreed Congress. And when you are responsible for the cost of the war, you cannot just calculate what the Ministry of Defense has spent on foreign emergency funds. She pointed out other groups of costs including interest on borrowed money, increased war-related spending, higher wages to retain soldiers, medical care and disability for post-9/11 veterans, and more. According to their estimates, the cost of the Iraq war to date will be $ 1922 billion in the current dollar. This figure includes the funding that the Pentagon explicitly allocated to the war, spending on the country by the State Department, sponsoring veterans of the Iraq war and interest on debt incurred for 16 years of involvement. The American army in the country. Crawford says that the war-related spending in Iraq has exceeded its budget in 16 years, and military forces have been in the country, and the surplus is estimated at $ 382 billion in Iraq alone. Increases in budgets approved by Congress were used to increase base security, recruitment and reinsertion bonuses, and increase wages to retain staff, and health care costs for service members. In addition to the costs of the Ministry of Defense, the State Department added about $ 59 billion to the total costs of the USAID war in Iraq and Iraq. Meanwhile, $ 199 billion has been spent on veterans in Iraq who receive medical care, disability and other compensation.

After the events in Najaf, Pompeo demands accountability of the provocative figures February 07, 2020 Al-Sadr militia killed 6 protesters in Najaf Send via media View comments Print the article US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo expressed the United States' anger at the violence that took place in the city of Najaf on Wednesday, February 5, that killed and wounded peaceful protesters. On Wednesday, Sadr's militia killed 7 protesters while breaking up their sit-ins in Najaf, southern Iraq. Pompeo said in a statement that since October last year, peaceful demonstrators took to the streets to demand government reform and were met with threats, brutal violence and live fire attacks.

"The Iraqi government should immediately address the legitimate grievances of the demonstrators by enacting reforms and tackling corruption," he said. Pompeo then went to the Iraqi people, whom he described as "brave" and said "to the brave Iraqi people seeking a government free from corruption and Iranian interference (...)

Chinese doctor censured for warning about coronavirus dies of the illness; death toll hits 636 https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2020/01/28/coronavirus-china-wuhan-disease-pandemic/4602147002/ A Chinese doctor who was reprimanded by security police for warning fellow doctors about the initial coronavirus outbreak has died of the illness, according to Wuhan Central Hospital. Li Wenliang, 34, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, was “unfortunately infected during the fight against the pneumonia epidemic of the new coronavirus infection,” the hospital said on its social media account. “We deeply regret and mourn this.” He died early Friday despite an "all-effort rescue" after contracting the virus Jan. 30, according to The People's Daily, the newspaper of China's Communist Party. The World Health Organization tweeted, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate work that he did” on the virus. In a posting on social media, Li alerted fellow doctors Dec. 30 about the emergence of a SARS-like illness, warning them to wear protective clothing to avoid infection, the newspaper said. Wuhan is the epicenter of the coronavirus that has claimed 636 lives among more than 30,877 cases. The fatality rate is 2.1 percent; that compares to 9.6 percent for the SARS virus that created similar concern around the globe in 2002. Four days later, Li was summoned by security police and forced to sign a letter that accused him of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order," according to the BBC. Police said he was one of eight people under investigation for "spreading rumors," the BBC reported. Authorities later apologized to Li, who became a national hero as a whistleblower as the illness spread. The chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention told the editor of the state-owned Global Times that China should praise the eight Wuhan whistleblowers. "They were wise before the outbreak," though any judgment needs to be backed by scientific evidence, Zeng Guang said. 2,886 people are talking about this From his hospital bed, Li broke his police-imposed silence in late January, telling The New York Times in an interview by text message, “If the officials had disclosed information about the epidemic earlier, I think it would have been a lot better. There should be more openness and transparency.” Commentary on the social media account of the Supreme People's Court criticized the police for their actions, saying that although the initial reports by Li and others about a possible SARS outbreak were wrong, they were a useful alert that should have been allowed: "If the public listened to this 'rumor' at that time and adopted measures such as wearing a mask, strict disinfection and avoiding going to the wildlife market based on the panic about SARS, this may be a better way for us to prevent and control new pneumonia today."

cryptocurrency fund Virus Cases Explode On Quarantined Cruise Ship In Japan As China Claims Number Of Sick Is Shrinking by Tyler Durden Thu, 02/06/2020 - 19:36 0 SHARES TwitterFacebookRedditEmailPrint Summary: Total cases stand at 31,439 as death toll climbs to 639 China claims the growth in people under medical observation has peaked, and is now slowing. Japan reports 41 additional cases, for a total of 61 aboard the quarantined cruise ship Senior CCP official orders Wuhan to round up infected residents for mass quarantine camps Beijing completes second coronavirus hospital in Wuhan Wuhan hospital confirms that doctor who was one of first to warn about virus died on Thursday Economists warn China faces difficult dilemma in deciding when workers should return to work Taiwan halts visas for citizens of Macau and Hong Kong Germany confirms 13th case 2 suspected cases found in South Africa Dubai reports 3rd death outside China * * * Update (1955ET): Just when you thought it was safe to buy the f**king record high melt-up, TBS News reports that Japanese authorities have found another 42 people on the Diamond Princess cruise ship anchored in Yokohama have tested positive for Coronavirus. 296 people are talking about this Japan says 273 people on the cruise ship were tested and 61 were found positive, and the 41 new patients have been sent to hospitals in 5 separate prefectures. * * * Update (1925ET): China has just released its latest "official" data on the coronavirus, and just as we had suspected (given the precipitous slowdown from exponential growth yesterday), the acceleration has now 'officially' ended with 185,555 people under medical observation today, DOWN 309 from the 186,354 the prior day. Mission Accomplished? Bear in mind that the average increase for all prior days was 17,159. Of course, the number of cases and deaths is still increasing with 637 dead in China and 31,161 cases. We wonder if the almost nationwide lockdown and policy shift to remaining in your home unless "severely" ill was the factor behind the slowdown in people receiving medical attention? Or whether it is a miracle that no 'expert' saw coming... apart from The WHO who all along claimed the "extreme measures" by China were "breathtaking." * * * Update (1615ET): A senior Chinese official has ordered Wuhan authorities to immediately round up all residents infected with the novel coronavirus and place them in isolation, quarantine camps, or designated hospitals, according to the New York Times. Inside the exhibition center in Wuhan that now serves as a hospital.Credit...Chinatopix, via Associated Press City investigators have also been ordered to go to each home and check the temperature of every resident, as well as conduct interviews with infected patients' close contacts. "Set up a 24-hour duty system. During these wartime conditions, there must be no deserters, or they will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever," said Sun Chunlan, a vice premier in charge of leading the CCP's response to the outbreak. * * * Update (1440ET): Dubai just reported that a woman from the Philippines has died in the UAE. In response, the UAE has suspended flights to China except to Beijing. The Manila Times reported the death, citing the Philippines' labor secretary. The virus's global death toll has climbed to 568. The victim was identified as Amalia Collado Dapronoza, 58. Her death comes as 178 other patients remain under observation in the tiny Gulf kingdom. The Philippines is one of several countries planning to rescue its citizens from Wuhan, and a group of 45 filipinos from Wuhan are set to return to the Philippines on Feb. 9. In Hong Kong, 3,600 people were preparing to spend a second night confined aboard the World Dream as authorities test everyone aboard after eight passengers caught the virus. Health officials in the financial hub said they were also asking some 5,000 Hong Kongers who had traveled on the ship since mid-January to contact them. We mentioned earlier that Beijing had finished building the second of two coronavirus hospitals built in Wuhan over the past week and a half. Well, here's a cool time-lapsed video of its construction: See Taylor Umlauf's other Tweets * * * Update (1230ET): Beijing has finished construction on the second coronavirus hospital in Wuhan - so hopefully more of the desperate patients stuck dying in their homes might soon have a bed at a public facility where their treatment can be overseen by doctors. Chinese state media said the Leishenshan hospital, which will join the Huoshenshan hospital that opened Monday, will provide 1,600 beds and be staffed by 2,000 medical personnel. The project took roughly ten days. As we reminded readers earlier, the WHO appears to have gladly taken up the task of backing up Beijing's propaganda. But on Thursday, it confirmed a bit of bad news, saying that the doctor who was punished for his early warnings about the outbreak had succumbed to the virus. Now, Wuhan Central Hospital is denying that Li Wenliang, one of eight doctors who was punished by local police for his warnings, has died. Instead, they said he was alive, but in critical condition, according to SCMP. Li, 34, an ophthalmologist at the Wuhan Central Hospital, was found to be infected with coronavirus on Saturday. With Citadel's Ken Griffin becoming the latest to warn about supply chain disruptions related to the virus, Beijing is facing a difficult choice when it comes to deciding when workers should return to their desks or assembly lines. In a separate SCMP story, economist Lu Zhengwei said allowing the workforce to return to their jobs was crucial both for supporting the economy and ultimately ending the epidemic. Meanwhile, a handful of new deaths have been confirmed by the SCMP: As the death toll climbs, doctors told the NYT that the number of deaths and cases are likely being undercounted. As we reported below, there have been many anecdotal reports about sick people being turned away by hospitals in Wuhan. Advisory firm Oxford Economics has lowered its growth outlook for China to 5.4% in 2020, down from 6%, and Goldman analysts believe the outbreak will ultimately shave 2 percentage points off global GDP by the time it's all said and done. Earlier, Taiwan halted visas for citizens of Hong Kong and Macau, saying on Thursday that it would suspend its online and landing visa services indefinitely for Hong Kong and Macau citizens, while non-citizens of Hong Kong and Macau with a history of travel to mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau would also be barred from visiting Taiwan. These measures will no doubt further infuriate Beijing, which has lashed out against "fearmongering" abroad. "Beginning [midnight Thursday], we will suspend online and landing visa application services" until further notice, announced Chiu Chui-cheng, vice-chairman of Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council, which sets the island’s policies towards mainland China. They're also temporarily banning cruise ships from docking - can't say we blame them. More suspected cases of the virus have been discovered in Africa, though none have been confirmed yet. Still, African health officials have been scrambling to brace for outbreaks; they're hoping to suppress the virus before the outbreaks can overwhelm their fragile health systems, according to News24. In other news, Germany has confirmed its 13th coronavirus case, a case we imagine will also be found to be a human-to-human infection. * * * Update (1100ET): Is this the WHO's "Mission Accomplished?" During a press conference in Switzerland Thursday evening, Dr. Tedros, the WHO's director-general, thanked the Gates Foundation (which committed $100 million) and Japan (which contributed $10 million) for answering the organization's call for more funding to help suppress the coronavirus outbreak that has now claimed more than 560 lives, mostly in China. He also claimed that the number of new and suspected cases is finally starting to slow, a sign that the outbreak could be subsiding, and that the China-led response has been a success. Though researchers have already mapped the virus's DNA and are already working on a remedy, there is still a lot we don't know about the virus, Dr. Tedros said. We don't know where it came from (though there are theories) and we don't 100% understand how it spreads. There are also many tools we don't have, like a vaccine, that will hopefully soon be developed. In effect, "we're shadow-boxing with the virus," Dr. Tedros said. "We need to bring it into the light." The organization continued to sidestep questions about China's censorship and its initial reluctance to share information about the outbreak with the international community. Responding to a reporter's question, the WHO rep confirmed that the doctor who was one of the first to detect the virus before being ignored and eventually sickened has now died. Dr. Li Wenliang, the Chinese whistleblower doctor who warned the public about the outbreak back in December, succumbed to the virus in Wuhan on Thursday, the WHO said. * * * Thousands of athletes around the world breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe confirmed that the Summer Olympics in Tokyo won't be delayed. Then again, if the outbreak continues to worsen in Japan and the broader region, who is going to want to come if they don't feel safe? As the second week of global pandemic panic comes to a close, China, increasingly frustrated that their ruse with the WHO didn't manage to calm the international community, again registered its "strong objections" to the growing number of travel bans directed at its citizens. NEVER MISS THE NEWS THAT MATTERS MOST ZEROHEDGE DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOX Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories. The warning followed a decision by Taiwan's health authority to ban all international cruise ships from docking at the island from Thursday as the number of suspected outbreaks aboard cruise ships grows. The global death toll has ticked higher, reaching 566 overnight, while the total number of confirmed cases has broken above 28,000 to 28,384. More than a dozen countries have imposed some kind of restriction on foreigners who have recently visited China. Within China, images of police clad in hazmat suites and touting infrared thermometers have become frighteningly common. Many airlines cancelled passenger routes to China, and some are extending those cancellations out to March or April. But while Beijing tries to spin the narrative to accuse other countries of racism, some brave journalists have shared the stories of families brave - or foolish - enough to speak out against the regime. One resident of Wuhan who has been stuck in the city since the quarantine told the BBC that his uncle died in a quarantine because of supply shortages. The image of life in Wuhan is every bit as bad as the most chilling conspiracies would have you believe. Beijing, which just announced a spate of new treatment-related projects in Wuhan and the surrounding area, seemingly can't get beds online fast enough. Because the government is literally condemns some elderly patients to die in their homes. Many are saying that if they knew authorities would lock down Wuhan last week, they would have left for the holiday earlier. In news from outside China, Indonesia is reportedly planning to build a quarantine center on an uninhabited island to isolate coronavirus victims, even though Indonesia has yet to record a single case of the virus, though 243 have been quarantined on the island of Natuna. Across the globe, health officials are racing to develop treatments and testing methods for the virus. Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak, opened an emergency test laboratory on Wednesday to begin human trials. Over in Hong Kong, a top public health official has declared a community outbreak, according to the SCMP. A day after the city government revealed that it would impose a mandatory 14-day quarantine on anybody crossing into Hong Kong from China, the city government has provided some more details on how it will combat the crisis. Most of the new cases in the city are being caused by human-to-human transmission. Six people have been diagnosed with the coronavirus over the past few days, five of whom had not left the city recently. Of the 21 cases in total, eight are believed to have no travel history relevant to the coronavirus. Circling back to the mainland, local authorities in the city of Tianjin announced on Thursday that it would ban the exit and entry of its villages and compounds, becoming the latest city to essentially quarantine its entire population. Over in Wuhan, authorities are now demanding that all residents report their temperatures at least once per day. So, that's 60+ million people under quarantine in China. And though the pace of new cases in the country has slowed slightly, the virus is accelerating, especially in Asia. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wed-rather-die-home-chinese-citizens-rebel-against-mandatory-quarantine-lockdonw

Wuhan Institute Of Virology And Chinese Army Submit Patent For Gilead Anti-Ebola Drug To Fight Coronavirus by Tyler Durden Thu, 02/06/2020 - 17:35 Amid growing speculation that nCoV-2019, aka novel coronavirus, aka the virus behind the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic, was developed in a lab (and not just any lab, but the BSL-4 rated "biological weapons" grade Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in... well, Wuhan) which was then released accidentally (or not) among the broader population - a thesis which China's official press is scrambling to refute even as more supportive evidence emerges by the day - we would like to point out that earlier this week, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which as Nature in 2017 said studies the "world's most dangerous pathogens", has jointly with the Military Medicine Institute of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Science, i.e. with China's Army, applied to patent the use of Gilead Sciences’ remdesivir to treat the current coronavirus outbreak. The company has partnered with Chinese health authorities to run a Phase III clinical trial to assess remdesivir for treatment of the virus. The drug was originally developed to treat the Ebola virus, but wasn’t effective. According to preclinical assays the drug might be effective against the coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, as was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The drug was given to a U.S. patient for compassionate use on day seven of the disease and their condition improved on day eight. The new clinical trial of an anti-Ebola drug to fight Coronavirus, will be conducted at Friendship Hospital in Beijing, China. The trial will enroll 270 patients with mild and moderate pneumonia caused by the virus. “Gilead is working closely with global health authorities to respond to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak through the appropriate experimental use of our investigational compound remdesivir. While there are no antiviral data for remdesivir that show activity against 2019-nCoV at this time, available data in other coronaviruses give us hope,” the company stated. The Wuhan Institute submitted the patent application jointly with the Military Medicine Institute of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Science. Researchers with both organizations noted in a paper published in Nature’s Cell Research this week that both remdesivir and chloroquine, used to treat malaria, may be effective in stalling the coronavirus. That said, "even if the Wuhan Institute’s application gets authorized, the role is very limited because Gilead still owns the fundamental patent of the drug,” said Zhao Youbin, a Shanghai-based intellectual property attorney at Purplevine IP Service Co. “Any exploitation of the patent must seek approval from Gilead." The Wuhan Institute indicated it filed the patent application on January 21 - days before China started officially releasing case information to the public, prompting questions how the Institute was so well prepared and knew just what the appropriate treatment against Coronavirus may be, but also noted it would temporarily drop the patent claims if it had the opportunity to collaborate with foreign biopharma companies to battle the epidemic. Despite the recent breakout of market euphoria, where traders are now convinced that containing the pandemic is just a matter of time, the World Health Organization (WHO), however, is trying to downplay media reports of any drug breakthroughs against the outbreak, stating there are “no known” drugs against the virus. “There are no known effective therapeutics against this 2019-nCoV and WHO recommends enrollment into a randomized controlled trial to test efficacy and safety,” the organization stated today. “A master global clinical trial protocol for research and prioritization of therapeutics is ongoing at the WHO.” Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories. Gilead’s remdesivir is an experimental drug that isn’t licensed or approved anywhere in the world. It is being rushed into clinical trials in China. Gilead’s chief medical officer, Merdad Parsey, told Bloomberg that the drug could enter clinical trials in China as early as next week in patients with moderate and severe symptoms. China can manufacture chloroquine and currently wants access to remdesivir. Bloomberg points out that the country’s decision to seek a patent “instead of invoking the heavy-handed ‘compulsory license’ option that lets nations override drug patents in national emergencies, underscores the delicate balancing act before China as it signals commitment toward intellectual property rights alongside curbing the virus outbreak.” “The fact that they have applied for a patent means there’s growing awareness about this in the country,” said Wang Yanhu, a senior partner at Albright Law Offices in Beijing. “The government is compelled to avoid using the compulsory license because it has been making efforts to show China respects intellectual property rights and the abuse of compulsory licensing will draw international criticism.” Gilead is presently shipping enough doses of the drug to China to treat 500 patients and is increasing its supply in case the clinical trials are effective. https://www.zerohedge.com/health/wuhan-institute-virology-and-chinese-army-submit-patent-gilead-anti-ebola-drug-fight

Corona and the general budget for 2020 Expectations for international organizations concerned with the movement of oil production and marketing indicate that oil prices during the first quarter of 2020 will be around ($ 53 / barrel) and in the second quarter ($ 50 / barrel) and in the third quarter ($ 54 / barrel) and this means that the price rates will range between ( $ 50‐55 a barrel. The reason for the low prices comes to the effects of the spread of Corona virus in China, which forced it to reduce its oil imports by three million barrels per day, in addition to the decrease in the quantities of oil marketed to the countries of the world due to the decrease in air and maritime transport for the purposes of commercial exchange and tourism activity. Also, OPEC will meet this month an extraordinary meeting to study the reduction of production between 50000010000 bpd daily. So what is the relationship of Corona Virus B with the Iraq budget for 2020? The economic and political conditions that Iraq is going through and that have had a clear impact on the delay in the implementation of the planned plans, program and development projects planned in its budget for 2020 that the Cabinet did not send to the House of Representatives for the purpose of discussing and approving it yet due to the government's resignation and the nomination of a new Prime Minister in Current complicated and intertwined conditions framed by the political attraction of the blocs and the demands of the popular movement, in addition to the accumulations of previous years in chaos, poor planning, loss of methodology in the conduct of economic affairs and mismanagement of public funds. Everyone knows that the Iraqi economy depends mainly on oil imports, and that the estimates for the price in the 2020 budget are around $ 53 / barrel, and the budget deficit has been estimated at about 48 trillion dinars, while the expected price indicators for oil confirm that Iraq will not be able to sell its oil according to the expected prices during the year 2020 by more From $ 43 a barrel, which will raise the deficit to the limits of 70 trillion dinars, which confuses and complicates the task of the next government in fully controlling the conduct of the economy. We believe that the situation will continue in this way and without solutions to the outstanding problems and obstacles. We believe that one of the first economic tasks of the interim government is to review the allocations of oil revenues in light of the expected new price rates and the quantities expected to be produced and exported. Setting realistic plans to develop other productive sectors to cover the deficit in non-oil revenue and reduce expenditures through reconsideration and reduce operational allocations, in particular allocations, wages, salaries, allocations and rewards of the three presidencies and the House of Representatives and independent bodies and special degrees and rationalization of ministries to only 15 ministries and the development and stimulation of the private industrial, agricultural and banking sector And tourism in order to establish the employment of unemployed graduates and skilled and unskilled workers. The important thing is to complete the budget preparation and approval by the House of Representatives before the end of the first quarter of the year. http://economy-news.net/content.php?id=18992
