Today we have a followup discussion with Dr. Dana Cheng, Senior Editor of China News, The Epoch Times. New information as to the spread of the virus (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) has been in the news. There are some reports now that claim this will be no worse than the flu (New England Journal of Medicine). South Korea reports many hundreds of new infections, and Iran has reported some cases. Italy has reported hundreds of people infected in their country. This prompted us to talk with Dr, Cheng again. She grew up in Wuhan, which is the epicenter of the outbreak for this virus. She reports that 170K doctors and nurses have been sent to Wuhan. The virus makes people feel like they are drowning in water. Others have heart problems and simply drop in the street. Funeral homes in China are typically open 4 hours during a day. However, now they are open 24x7, conditions are so severe. Yet, the Chinese government is not being forthright. The Communists have full control of media and social media, so the real truth of the extent of the virus is difficult to perceive. Dr. Cheng says that the health care workers use full protective suits, face masks, glasses (or goggles), and a hat. The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading from person-to-person. Someone who is actively sick with COVID-19 can spread the illness to others. The CDC recommends that these patients be isolated either in the hospital or at home (depending on how sick they are) until they are better and no longer pose a risk of infecting others. There was a problem with the donation of supplies, interfered with by Communist officials such that the supplies were not getting to the hospitals that needed them. The Communist officials give precedence to themselves and not nearly as much to the population. We ask Dr. Cheng what steps we can take here in America to protect our people. An absolutely necessary step is to protect our borders. Customs must take this threat very seriously, and do a much better job on not letting anyone in who may be infected. We must secure our borders to protect our families. Growing up in Wuhan, Dr. Cheng is very familiar with the methods that the Chinese Communist government uses to suppress freedoms and information - to the hurt of the citizens. Even if the information would help to protect their citizens, helpful information is often suppressed if there is political advantage. Narrative is tightly controlled (comment: very much like the Socialists of our own country). Participants: Dr. Dana Cheng, Dan Elmendorf
