Arab Analyst Spreads Wild Lie About Coronavirus
arab-analyst-lies
The coronavirus has taken the world by shock. But, while the majority of the world is coming together to try to conquer this epidemic, the Arabs are out spreading lies.
As the deadly coronavirus continues to wreck havoc on China and the surrounding countries, as well as threaten to destabilize the world economic order, an Iraqi political analyst insists that the US is behind the coronavirus.
Iraqi Political Analyst: The Coronavirus Was Spread in China by American Officials in 2015
This claim is a wild lie. The analyst claims that the USA started spreading the disease in 2015. Given the fact that the virus spreads rapidly, where has it been for the last 5 years?

Also, why would the US spread something that endangers the world economic system? Wouldn’t this hurt the US also?

What this claim is really about is spreading false information – fake news. Ultimately, this sort of claim fits into the Arab narrative that claims the USA is the cause of most of the world’s problems.

Shenzhen and Guangzhou, two of China’s largest cities, have been granted the authority to “requisition” personal property in order to halt the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus.

The move is especially noteworthy because those two cities are key elements of China’s high-tech economic engine.

Shenzhen and Guangzhou are located in Guangdong province, which has been hit by the most coronavirus cases outside Hubei, where the epidemic began. As of Wednesday, Shenzhen reported 375 confirmed infections and Guangzhou reported 317, while the province has a total of 1,177.

In both of the big Guangdong cities, legislators approved emergency measures that would enable officials to temporarily seize homes, commercial property, public venues, and vehicles thought to be contaminated, as well as commanding private businesses to produce any materials deemed necessary in fighting the coronavirus. Shortages of medical equipment and protective gear have been a persistent problem in areas where the virus is spreading, and shortages of food and supplies for quarantined populations are becoming a serious issue.

Shezhen’s emergency legislation also gives the city government broad powers to shut down commercial operations, public events, schools, and other venues where the virus could spread rapidly.

Guangdong’s provincial legislature is considering similar measures, with more of an emphasis on emergency quarantine measures and transportation restrictions than seizing private property.

Government officials seizing personal property might not seem like a big story in a Communist country, but laws that semi-approved the ownership of property passed over a decade ago played a major role in China’s rapid economic expansion. The emergency measures passed in Guangdong mark the first time local governments have seized property since the passage of the 2007 Property Law.

The Property Law included provisions for just this type of emergency seizure, with requirements that the property must be returned and the owners duly compensated. The Epoch Times on Tuesday noted some apprehension in China’s tech hub cities that the ruling regime might not honor those commitments, especially if the economic damage from the coronavirus epidemic is severe:

Heng He, a U.S.-based political affairs commentator, expressed skepticism about such measures. Although similar emergency policies have been utilized in other countries, Heng expressed concern about the regime’s capacity to honor its pledge to provide compensation.

“Doesn’t matter whether this is consistent with the constitutional law, the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t even obey their own laws,” he said.

Heng said the policy appeared to be a new way for Guangdong authorities to “rob riches from the public.”

“Even though they said there will be compensation, a lot of people have experienced such compensation during forced demolition—a lot are symbolic,” he said.

Forced demolition campaigns have been a recurring issue in China over the past two decades. According to a 2019 report by Beijing Shengting Law Firm, at least 751 complaints were filed from 2014 to 2017 over forced demolitions; and in 43 percent of the cases the officials did not follow any legal procedures.

China also has persistent problems with corruption, despite endless high-profile campaigns against it. The Epoch Times cited reports of local officials already abusing quarantine situations for profit, such as by demanding bribes to enter restricted areas or bypass checkpoints. This misbehavior also calls the effectiveness of China’s much-touted lockdowns into question, since people infected by the coronavirus are no less capable of paying bribes than healthy people.

The fact that China’s prestige economic zone is passing emergency laws to seize property has been taken by skeptical observers, both within and outside China, as another sign that the epidemic is much worse than Beijing is willing to admit. At the moment, the official line from the Chinese government is that the epidemic will peak in February and will effectively end by April.

Another sign of desperation spotted by Quartz on Monday is a risky gambit in several Chinese cities to flush out coronavirus sufferers in hiding by refusing to sell them fever and cough medicine.

The brutal calculation is that people who have been hiding their infections and self-medicating – which the Chinese government explicitly told them to do at first – will be forced to reveal themselves and seek treatment from doctors.

Critics of the policy fear it will be counter-productive because it will force people with illnesses other than the Wuhan virus to expose themselves to the deadly epidemic by visiting hospitals and clinics full of infected people. Even worse, those overwhelmed medical centers often send patients home without treatment or testing and tell them to self-medicate, so many people will be compelled to expose themselves to the Wuhan virus for nothing.

“Is this policy reasonable? People could originally resolve the illnesses with drugs instead of going to hospitals to grab already stretched medical resources and being infected by others who have the virus,” one Chinese social media commentator noted.

Coronavirus expert claims he knows when the virus ‘will burn itself out,’
(Accuweather) – With the death toll climbing each day, fear and uncertainty have spread farther and farther around the globe as coronavirus continues to captivate the world’s attention. However, John Nicholls, a pathology professor at the University of Hong Kong, says he knows when the virus will become inactive.

In a private conference call organized last week by CLSA, a brokerage firm based in Hong Kong, investment analysts had a chance to ask Nicholls, one of the world’s foremost experts on the topic, questions about the novel coronavirus.

(The Guardian) – The coronavirus epidemic could spread to about two-thirds of the world’s population if it cannot be controlled, according to Hong Kong’s leading public health epidemiologist. His warning came after the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said recent cases of coronavirus patients who had never visited China could be the “tip of the iceberg”.

Prof Gabriel Leung, the chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University, said the overriding question was to figure out the size and shape of the iceberg.

(ES) – The new coronavirus can have an incubation period of up to 24 days, scientists have discovered. Currently, the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates the period between exposure to the illness and the appearance of symptoms is a fortnight. But experts in China have now found that the median incubation period is three days and ranges from zero to 24 days.

Medical professionals said that if this proves correct, those in quarantine could expect to spend longer in isolation.

(Newsweek) – Health officials in China are conflicted as to whether the deadly new coronavirus can spread through the air, with one expert saying 2019-nCoV could “in theory” be airborne. Zeng Qun, the deputy head of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, told a press briefing on Saturday that the virus can be spread via direct transmission, which involves contact with the infected person. However, the China Daily newspaper reported Zeng also suggested the new member of the large coronavirus family—which includes infections like the common cold as well as SARS—is capable of aerosol transmission.

Torah Numerology Code May Have Just Revealed Cause of CoronaVirus
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz February 4, 2020 , 2:02 pm

As the coronavirus begins to spread outside of China, mystics and rabbis suggest that the “medicine” for the disease is in fixing its spiritual roots.

THE PANDEMIC

The official coronavirus count tops 14,000. The pandemic is crossing national borders with cases being reported in more than 20 countries outside of mainland China. Last week, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.

Experts believe the coronavirus pandemic originated in an open-air market in the Chinese city of Wuhan that sells exotic live animals for consumption. Scientists believe the coronavirus originated in bats but, using samples of the virus isolated from patients, scientists in China determined the genetic code of the virus might include genetic codes from snakes. Snakes often hunt for bats in wild. The virus was passed to humans who purchased snakes in the market in Wuhan. Most of the first group of patients hospitalized were workers or customers. This raises the possibility that the virus might have jumped from the host species – bats – to snakes and then to humans at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak. Though this does seem to be the case, it is a difficult scenario for scientists since this would indicate the virus could adapt to both the cold-blooded and warm-blooded hosts.

SPIRITUAL ROOTS: FORBIDDEN FOODS, NOAHIDE LAWS

Snakes and bats are forbidden for Jews to eat.

The following you shall abominate among the birds—they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, and the black vulture; the kite, falcons of every variety; all varieties of raven; the ostrich, the nighthawk, the seagull; hawks of every variety; the little owl, the cormorant, and the great owl; the white owl, the pelican, and the bustard; the stork; herons of every variety; the hoopoe, and the bat. Leviticus 11:19

You shall not eat, among all things that swarm upon the earth, anything that crawls on its belly, or anything that walks on fours, or anything that has many legs; for they are an abomination. Leviticus 11:42

But the coronavirus may have its spiritual roots of the virus in the Noahide laws incumbent upon all mankind. The first Noahide law requires mankind to recognize God’s oneness, having its basis in Genesis.

And to Shet, in turn, a son was born, and he named him Enosh. It was then that men began to invoke Hashem by name. Genesis 4:26

In southwestern China, where the coronavirus originated, snakes were worshiped as deities. The serpents would often be seen on bronze cultural relics used for worshiping and praying for a good harvest. Snake creatures, such as Nuwa are considered to be gods in Chinese mythology. Nuwa, is oftentimes referred to as the “Snake Goddess” because, in an Eastern Han Dynasty mural, she was portrayed as having snake-like tails interlocked.

A disturbing video recently surfaced showing a ‘Snake Show’ of the kind that is known to take place in the region. In the show, a man is seen swallowing a live snake. If true, this may violate the prohibition against tearing a limb from a living animal, the fourth Noahide law which is based on a verse in Genesis.

Every creature that lives shall be yours to eat; as with the green grasses, I give you all these. You must not, however, eat flesh with its life-blood in it. Genesis 9:3-4

Though it is not known whether bats are eaten alive in the Wuhan province, bat soup is a delicacy in many other parts of the world prepared by boiling a live bat. On the island of Guam in the western Pacific Ocean, locals prepare a dish made with a fox or fruit bat in a coconut milk soup. The still-living bat is rinsed off, and boiled in water, wings, fur, and head intact. It is served with coconut milk and vegetables.

HEBREW NUMEROLOGY; TEARING A LIMB FROM A LIVING ANIMAL

Hebrew numerology indicates that the coronavirus is connected to this Noahide prohibition. In gematria (Hebrew numerology), קורונה (corona) is 100+6+200+6+50+5=367. The term for the prohibition against eating the limb or a living creature (אכל אבר מן החי) is also equal to 367 (1+20+30+1+2+200+40+50+5+8+10).

Rabbi Oury Cherki, Rabbi Oury Amos Cherki, director of the Noahide World Center-Brit Olam, explained the surprisingly complicated laws pertaining to the ban on eating a living creature.

“Everything that is covered by the laws of eating a limb from a living creature refers to warm-blooded creatures,” Rabbi Cherki explained. “A bat is warm-blooded so it is therefore forbidden to eat a bat or its limbs without killing it first. A snake, on the other hand, is cold-blooded so the Noahide law does not pertain to it. Snakes are, of course, forbidden to Jews but a non-Jew does not violate the Noahide prohibition by eating a live snake.”

CORONAVIRUS AND THE REDEMPTION

Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, emphasized that this was a clear message to the world to prepare the way for the Messiah.

“We are about to enter the final redemption. The prophets say that the plagues that paved the way for the Jews to leave Egypt will reappear before the final redemption,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News citing a verse in Micah.

I will show him wondrous deeds As in the days when You sallied forth from the land of Egypt. Micah 7:15

Rabbi Berger noted that eastern Africa is currently on the verge of massive famine, facing the worst plague of locusts in 70 years.

“But rabbinic literature tells us that the final redemption will also be preceded by plagues that Egypt never saw,” Rabbi Berger said, noting that the Prophet Micah may have been hinting at the coronavirus’ serpent origins in the next verse.

Let them lick dust like snakes, Like crawling things on the ground! Let them come trembling out of their strongholds To Hashem our God; Let them fear and dread You! Micah 7:17

“The 70 nations need to return to their roots, return to the One God, return to following his laws that he gave to them via Noah,” Rabbi Berger said. “Now is the final time for people to decide where they stand. Those who stand with the God of the Torah will stand with Israel. Those who reject the Bible will stand against Israel.”

“No solution or remedy for the virus will be found before the Messiah,” Rabbi Berger said.

Rabbi Berger had some powerful advice for China, what he called “the only medicine for the coronavirus.”

“Charity changes the divine decree,” he said, noting that the Hebrew word for charity (צדקה: tzedakah) has its roots in the word for ‘justice’ (צדק:tzedek). “Just as charity is love overcoming the strict rules of money, charity can overcome the strict rule of justice. It is not bribing God. It is asking God to open his heart just as you opened yours.”

The Noahide laws are as follows:

Do not profane God’s Oneness in any way.
Acknowledge that there is a single God who cares about what we are doing and desires that we take care of His world.
Do not curse your Creator.
No matter how angry you may be, do not take it out verbally against your Creator.
Do not murder.
The value of human life cannot be measured. To destroy a single human life is to destroy the entire world—because, for that person, the world has ceased to exist. It follows that by sustaining a single human life, you are sustaining an entire universe.
Do not eat a limb of a living animal.
Respect the life of all God’s creatures. As intelligent beings, we have a duty not to cause undue pain to other creatures.
Do not steal.
Whatever benefits you receive in this world, make sure that none of them are at the unfair expense of someone else.
Harness and channel the human libido.
Incest, adultery, rape and homosexual relations are forbidden.
The family unit is the foundation of human society. Sexuality is the fountain of life and so nothing is more holy than the sexual act. So, too, when abused, nothing can be more debasing and destructive to the human being.
Establish courts of law and ensure justice in our world.
With every small act of justice, we are restoring harmony to our world, synchronizing it with a supernal order. That is why we must keep the laws established by our government for the country’s stability and harmony.
