Joe Biden said on the 13th (local time) that China should make the World Health Organization (WHO) available to materials in the early stages of the outbreak of the new coronavirus (new pneumonia).
“We are deeply concerned about how the initial results of the new Corona survey were communicated (to the WHO research team),” White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement today. “In order to better understand the new corona outbreak and prepare for the next outbreak, China must make available early outbreak data,” he said.
A statement by Aide Sullivan was issued the day after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that Chinese authorities refused to provide raw data (raw data) of early outbreaks to the WHO investigation team. The WHO research team, which consists of multinational researchers, visited Wuhan, where the new corona was first confirmed, and conducted a survey last month to clarify the origin of the new corona. However, on the 9th of this month, the research team announced the results of a summary that failed to determine the origin of the new coronavirus. Dr. Thea Fischer of Denmark, a member of the research team, told The Wall Street Journal that “deep analysis is not possible without looking at the raw data” and “this sometimes made me feel high.”
The Chinese embassy in the United States said in a statement on its website in the name of a spokesman on the 13th, “The United States has been damaging multilateral cooperation organizations including the WHO for the past few years, but as if that had not happened, the new Corona University Don’t point your back to China and other countries that have supported the WHO during the epidemic. “
On the other hand, on the 12th, which was the Chinese New Year, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post said that a shortage of chrysanthemums occurred when people trying to mourn the family who died in Wuhan, China in the past year due to unique customs gathered. (SCMP) reported on the 14th. The owner of Chili, a wholesale flower shop in Wuhan, told SCMP that “the shortage of chrysanthemums is due to the reduction of production by flower farmers who were concerned about the re-expansion of the new corona.” “One chrysanthemum is 100 yuan (about 1625 yen). I also heard that it sold at. “
Residents of Wuhan are skeptical of the authorities’ new corona mortality statistics due to the shortage of chrysanthemums. The official total of Wuhan’s new corona deaths is 3869, but it is suspected that there are actually more.
A Chinese internet user with the ID “Sumisui Space” posted a comment on Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) saying, “Will all the flowers be sold just because 3000 people died in Wuhan with a population of 9 million?” .. Radio Free Asia (RFA) said, “The number of deaths in the new Corona in Wuhan is a mystery.” “Estimating from the number of ashes boxes sold in Wuhan, the actual deaths may be more than 10 times the official announcement. There is. ”
