DHS report: China hid virus’ severity to hoard supplies
DHS report: China hid virus’ severity to hoard supplies By WILL WEISSERT26 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials believe China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak — and how contagious the disease is — to stock up on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents show.
Chinese leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the pandemic from the world in early January, according to a four-page Department of Homeland Security intelligence report dated May 1 and obtained by The Associated Press. The revelation comes as the Trump administration has intensified its criticism of China, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying Sunday that that country was responsible for the spread of disease and must be held accountable.

The sharper rhetoric coincides with administration critics saying the government’s response to the virus was slow and inadequate. President Donald Trump’s political opponents have accused him of lashing out at China, a geopolitical foe but critical U.S. trade partner, in an attempt to deflect criticism at home.
Not classified but marked “for official use only,” the analysis states that, while downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, China increased imports and decreased exports of medical supplies. It attempted to cover up doing so by “denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data,” the analysis states.
The report also says China held off informing the World Health Organization that the coronavirus “was a contagion” for much of January so it could order medical supplies from abroad — and that its imports of face masks and surgical gowns and gloves increased sharply.
Those conclusions are based on the 95% probability that China’s changes in imports and export behavior were not within normal range, according to the report.
Trump has speculated that China could have unleashed the coronavirus due to some kind of horrible “mistake.” His intelligence agencies say they are still examining a notion put forward by the president and aides that the pandemic may have resulted from an accident at a Chinese lab.
Speaking Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Pompeo said he had no reason to believe that the virus was deliberately spread. But he added, “Remember, China has a history of infecting the world, and they have a history of running substandard laboratories.”
“These are not the first times that we’ve had a world exposed to viruses as a result of failures in a Chinese lab,” Pompeo said. “And so, while the intelligence community continues to do its work, they should continue to do that, and verify so that we are certain, I can tell you that there is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.”

The secretary of state appeared to be referring to previous outbreaks of respiratory viruses, like SARS, which started in China. His remark may be seen as offensive in China. Still, Pompeo repeated the same assertion virtually word for word hours later, via a tweet Sunday afternoon.
Speaking Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, echoed that sentiment, saying he believes China “is the most significant geopolitical threat to the United States for the next century.”
“The communist government in China bears enormous responsibility, enormous direct culpability for this pandemic. We know they covered it up,” Cruz said. “Had they behaved responsibly and sent in health professionals and quarantined those infected, there’s a real possibility this could have been a regional outbreak, and not a global pandemic. And the hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide are in a very real sense the direct responsibility of the communist Chinese government’s lies.”
我在美国和加拿大都生活和工作了很多年。有很多同事和朋友。和他们讨论口罩的问题的时候，听到最多的就是“专家”说没有任何研究表明口罩在防止这次肺炎传染是有用的。我说，废话，这次肺炎才出现，当然没有任何研究了。但是这次肺炎和流感是的传播方式是一样的，口罩可以防流感就可以防肺炎呀。结果人家指着鼻子告诉我，“专家”说的是连对流感都没有用，“没有任何研究！你的明白？”。这就是为什么我们在流感季节都不带口罩。
后来我和他们讲口罩为什么可以防肺炎（我还在这里发了https://bbs.wenxuecity.com/health/905020.html）。有几个听了。但还有很多人不信。我也就算了，反正是在家呆着。后来CDC建议戴口罩说是可以保护别人，但自愿。我觉得总是向好的一方面发展了。
现在要重启了。又和朋友们聊起了口罩。结果有个家伙说不过我，就问我“Just show me any study support your mask theory”。我回他“Why don't you just use your own brain to think?”后来我一想，我不是也一样相信“专家”们说的，直接就认为没有任何研究表明口罩可以有防护作用。那到底那些研究是怎么说的呢？我就开始自己在网上搜寻那些有关口罩的研究和文章。
结果，的确是一些研究的结果并不支持口罩有用。但很多这样的研究中的实验受测对象并没有认真的带口罩。并且一些研究的样本也不够。但是，细思极恐的是，并不是象专家说的“没有研究支持口罩有用”。很多研究的结论是认为口罩可以在防止流感大爆发时起到很好的作用(这些研究都是在2009年H1N1大爆发期间或之后做的，所以很有说服力)。
特别让我记忆深刻的是一篇2010年发表在American Journal of Infection Control的文章（https://public.lanl.gov/sdelvall/Masks_Schools.pdf）。开篇就写道：
There is sufficient evidence indicating that masks, if worn properly and consistently, are an effective nonpharmaceutical intervention in the control of disease spread. The use of masks during a pandemic can minimize the spread of influenza and its economic impact, yet mask-wearing compliance in adults is often poor. Educating the public on the effectiveness of masks can increase compliance whilst reducing morbidity and mortality...（有足够的证据表明，正确且始终如一地佩戴口罩，是有效的非药物手段干预控制疾病传播。大流行期间使用口罩可以最大程度地减少流感和它的经济影响，但成年人戴口罩的依从性通常很差。向公众宣传口罩的有效性，可以增加依从性，同时降低发病率和死亡率。。。）“最大程度地减少流感和它的经济影响”，“向公众宣传口罩的有效性”，“降低发病率和死亡率”，看到这个，再想想今天的状况，心里不是滋味。这是在2010年美国发表的。到了2020年，尽然变成了没有证据了，还做反向宣传。我不知道我们的“专家”和政府为什么向我们隐瞒，事实上是有很多研究支持口罩在防疫中的作用的。有的研究还显示作用是非常明显的。而且有的研究还是关于自治口罩的。就算一开始口罩买不到，政府也可以让我们自己做呀，而不是骗我们。美国和加拿大都隔离了这么久，在轻症不检测的情况下每天感染的人数和死亡人数没有明显减少，难道就没有想想为什么吗？现在又要重启了。如果不告诉大家真相，让大家戴口罩，在疫苗出来之前，情况会更糟的。在这么多人失去了生命之后，我希望他们可以给我们一个解释，为什么向我们隐瞒。
不说了。下面是我看到的一些research和文章。还有很多。我只是列出了一些。

Results
The median-fit factor of the homemade masks was one-half that of the surgical masks. Both masks significantly reduced the number of microorganisms expelled by volunteers, although the surgical mask was 3 times more effective in blocking transmission than the homemade mask.

宝马把我们撞进了2004新时代
你在新年安全吗？
网友们，现在先让懂文化再给我们唱歌
“走进新时代”的伴奏音乐起：
谁想听你表白，
你的心胸是多么狭隘，
谁想听你自诉，
你的专制是多么独裁。
勤劳勇敢的中国人已经忍痛了好几代，
啊！我们已经牺牲了好几代。
(合)我们吃着劣食品，看姐妹作妓哭起来，
我们起早贪黑的辛苦，为房租房价哭起来，
丧失保障的劳动者，沦落他乡走进哪苦时代，
穷困人民没有未来。
让我告诉世界，
共产党是一个无赖，
让我告诉未来，
人民要把他扫下来。
贪污腐败的共产党已经享受了好几代，
啊！权力继承开始了接力赛，
(合)我们刚想讲道理，宝马凶凶撞过来，
我们聚在广场反腐败，坦克隆隆压过来，
横行霸道的共产党，开创钱权勾结的新时代，
背叛人民没有未来。
现在，人生安全讲座开始：
安全感是人类仅次于生理需要的一种最基本的需要，只有这个层次的
需要得到了满足，才谈得上其它。
一个不能给女人和家庭以安全感的男人，不是一个合格的好的男人，同理，一个不
能给国民以安全感的社会、政府和国家，也不是一个合格的好的社会、政府和国家。
很遗憾，我们伟大的社会主义社会，离这一基本的目标很远很远，人身安全、食品
安全、交通安全、消费安全、环境安全、财产安全、经济安全、政治安全等等，全
都严重缺乏，中国是世界上少数最没有安全感的国家之一。
消费方面。有关民众衣食住行的一切生产品消费品都严重假冒伪劣化，令人仿
佛生活在一个假冒伪劣的汪洋大海之中，有物皆可假，无货不有假，逃无可逃，避
无可避。什么假烟假酒假烟假酒假画假字假币假唱假商标假名牌，什么注水之肉、
黑心之棉、掺滑石粉之面、洗衣粉所洗之桃、甲?所泡之豆芽、“吊白块”加工之米
粉食糖腐竹，还有商品房之缺斤少两、装修材料之伪劣，几乎可以无限地数下去。
早在1998年1月8日，《参考消息》就刊登了日本《读卖新闻》的一篇文章，认
为中国是世界上最大的假冒商品市场；早在1994、1995连续两年，美国海关根据查
获的假冒侵权的数量，把中国列为向美出口假冒侵权产品国家的第一位。中国工商
报在一篇题为《中国货在部分遭禁-----出口产品打假迫在眉睫》的文章中指出：一
个令人触目惊心的事实是，在国际上竟出现了这样一种认识，中国几乎已成为假冒
伪劣产品的生产中心。国务院发展中心的一份研究报告指出：假冒商品大量流向海
外市场，使中国成为新的制假王国。制假售假行为已从最初的一些黑窝点发展成为
一个怪圈，不制假售假、守法经营反而吃亏。
卫生医疗方面。每个人都摆脱不了生老病死这一自然规律的制约，病了就得吃
药或上医院。然而，说起卫生医疗界的事，略知内情者无不惊恐变色。人们对于医
疗卫生的极度不安全感，源自于泛滥成灾的假冒伪劣药品，源自于医疗机构责任的
稀薄和医务人员素质的低下、医德的卑下，还有就是公共卫生系统和防疫体糸的弱
不经风的薄弱。
中国医疗事故发生率之高，卫生系统和医疗机构是[][]，堪称举世无双。就拿
河南艾滋病事件来说吧，完全是卫生部门为了创收敛财而鼓励民众卖血引起来，是
人为制造的社会灾难。有台湾中医师目睹河南艾滋村惨状，形容是“人间炼狱”。
尤为可悲可愤的是至今政府依然千方百计封锁遮掩真相，致使患者得不到及时的治
疗，艾滋病的防治工作进展缓慢，而且使国际社会无法进行有效援助。随著娼妓和
毒品的泛滥和政府防范医治动作的缓慢，艾滋病漫延势头惊人，已成为对中国产生
严重威胁的疾病之一。
生产方面。工业繁华背后是广大民工毫无安全保障，死亡率猛升。按照官方统
计，中国的职业病死亡率也是全球最高，超过欧洲加上美国的总和。《纽约时报》
报道说，中国已经成美国主要出口商，但生产那些产品的工人就像欧美工业化初期
一样，成为呼吸系统、循环系统、神经系统和消化系统等致命职业病的受害者。中
国不仅再次创造为欧洲、美国和东亚部分国家带来繁荣的工业转变，也再次生活在
那种时期的恐怖中。
同时我国安全事故及其事亡率也可创世界之最。官方披露：2002年1-11月份全
国共发生各类伤亡事故886041起，死亡112562 人。这个数字已令人惊心，实际数字
只怕还要大得多。2003年4月9日，中国国家安全生产监督管理局局长王显政通报了
今年以来全国安全生产情况，今年一季度中国发生各类事故258597起，其中包括道
路交通事故、煤矿伤亡事故、非煤矿山企业伤亡事故、火灾事故(不含森林、草原等
火灾)、水上交通事故、铁路路外伤亡事故等，共死亡31035人，几乎相当于打两百
场伊拉克战争的死亡人数啦。
财产方面。我国在对物权的保护方面,一向侧重于公权，对于私权的保护则很不
健全。在现行的法律环境下,即使公民个人财产受到侵犯,提起了公诉,也是出于对公
权保护的目的。很多情况下,即使判决了，对私权的保护也得不到有效的执行。
这方面中国富人的不安全感显得特别强烈，民法典以及物权法等涉及到私有财
产的法律，经过多次讨论、修订，能否通过还属未知数。这种私有财产的不安全感，
最明显的表现就是大量的资本外逃。一项统计说，中国每年大约有2000亿元人民币
的资金流到国外，其中就有民营企业主和富人的大量私人资本。
司法方面。法律和司法机关成了统治阶级实施政治迫害和经济掠夺的工具，成
为强势集团压迫、剥削、镇压弱势群体的工具。权贵们打著司法的幌子，诛除异己
打压政敌窃公器压公意泄私愤谋私利，为所欲为，以致各种各样的冤假错案层出不
穷，不公正非正义的审判和死刑数不胜数。
而且，许多地方的基层执法单位把把执法当作生意去做，以“钓鱼”的方式引
出违法者，把“执法生意”做得轰轰烈烈蒸蒸日上。他们以法律为名，行践踏法律、
维护小团体和个人利益之实。于是什么怪象乱象荒唐事都出来了，处女嫖娼卖淫案、
收容敛财案（收容制度已于日前废除）此伏彼起。还有“恶制恶法”造成民众极大
的不安全。如“劳改”制度，其机关包括：看守所、监狱、少年犯管教所等。其中
劳教可以不经审判程序，判处被劳教的人三年以内的监禁。解教后还可以剥夺劳教
人员的自由，名为“留场就业”。劳改制度自五四年正式实施以来，一直是至今仍
是中国政府惩办异己分子的有力手段。
司法机关和公安人员的流氓化黑恶化愈演愈烈，略举数例人民警察的光荣事迹
吧：广州一大学生因无暂住证被收容遭毒打致死，派出所长欲与风尘女发生关系遭
拒开枪将其射杀，交警偷车，民警污良为娼，要警察出示证件被打15岁女学生戴铐
投诉，饭店女服务员拒绝陪舞派出所副所长打店主，石家庄一警长酒后驾车致1死3伤
逃逸被拘，只因不陪跳舞副所长拘禁服务小姐，警车接"小姐"所长民警所里共嫖娼，
河南新郑两警察组织卖淫派出所内强奸卖淫女，河南巡警好猖狂洗澡不付钱持刀重
伤学生，外来妹无暂住证遭毒打媒体揭丑遭恶意收购，探亲没办暂住证老婆被警方
当“小姐”遣送了，这些可都是经过严肃“导向”的官方媒体公开披露的。地下的
现实严峻到怎样的程度，令人不敢思之冷颤，难怪有网民向党中央发出“剿匪”的
呼吁。人民公安往往沦为人民公敌，维护社会治安的“卫士”往往沦为破坏殃民祸
众的罪魁了呀。“野蛮人的境况也比一个司法受制于政治影响的文明国度的人的境
况好得多”、“一头野兽仅仅是结束一个人的生命，而一个受政治因素影响的法官
则在顷刻间不仅可以剥夺人的生命，而且还可以毁掉人之所以为人的尊严和荣誉”
（路易斯-博洛尔）
政治方面。司法方面主要是弱势群体缺乏安全，但这并不意味著强势集团的安
全感能够得到满足。那些“吃喝基本靠请、房子基本靠送、出有警车开道、病有最
好医生”的公仆们，一样生活在极大的不安全之中。他们要时时提高警惕，保卫自
己，刻刻防备来自同志们的明枪暗箭阴谋诡计。在中国，政治是滋生犯罪的温床，
官场上充满了小人、奸人、骗子和恶棍，政治生活充满了压迫、狡诈、腐败、仇恨、
伪善、欺骗、血腥、不义乃至暗杀，在友好堂皇的幕后，充满了势不两立的斗争。
法律、政策、反腐，都可以成为政治斗争的工具。
政治体制和意识形态的落后反动以及法律条文的有意疏漏，给民众和知识分子，
特别是记者、律师、异议异见者带来了极大的风险。由于反腐、由于私自办报、由
于说真话写真文发表出格言论、由于呼吁政府进行政改、由于行使言论和结社的权
力等等而被判刑者前仆后继。五月份，总部设在伦敦的人权组织“大赦国际”发表
的“大赦国际2003年年度报告”中指出，中国的政治运动和行政命令正在削弱政府
建立法治的努力，致使中国2002年的人权记录状况继续恶化。报告指出，成千上万
的中国人因和平地行使言论自由、结社自由和信仰自由的权利而继续、无故地遭到
拘留和囚禁。
中国目前一共关押著39名记者，连续第四年成为全世界囚禁记者人数最多的国
家。他们多因揭露和报道腐败而“犯法”，大部分被捕记者的罪名是泄漏国家机密
和颠覆罪。一些记者在报道中引用了一些已公布的经济数据，公开的政府报告，属
于保密之列，也被控以泄漏国家机密。
泄密罪同样适合律师，他们可以因透露案情或案卷材料而面临指控。刑辨律师
人身自由得不到保障，蒙冤、被殴、受辱、被捕的血淋淋的事件频频发生，加诸律
师的莫须有的罪名除“伪证罪”外，还有贪污罪、偷税罪、诽谤罪、玩忽职守罪、
泄露国家机密罪、包庇罪等等。自1997年新刑法第36条出现“毁灭证据、伪造证据、
妨害作证罪”以来，全国已有150名左右的律师因此被批捕。
社会方面。由于道德环境、生存环境的普遍恶化，由于政治的不义不仁、社会
的不公不平，由于贫富悬殊两极分化愈来愈严重，由于社会保障机制极不健全，许
许多多贫弱群体对政府、制度、官僚、富人，对整个社会充满了仇视、仇恨心理。
个人犯罪及黑社会或准黑社会组织犯罪愈来愈多，社会治安形势愈来愈严峻。拐卖
儿童、强奸妇女、抢劫投毒、杀人放火、爆炸等事件层出不穷。这个金字塔型的社
会仿佛一堆一点就燃的干柴，仿佛一座人既不敢言而敢怒的活死人墓。又仿佛随时
都会爆炸的活火山。人们在恐惧的阴影中生活。
经济增长没有给中国人民带来足够安全感。没有制度的保驾护航，经济就会举
而不坚或坚而不久。而且经济方面的问题早已渐次暴露。如国家债务问题，中国现
在全部国家债务，包括外债、国债、债转股的坏帐、社会保障基金缺口、银行的坏
帐、股市的坏帐、还有基层政府的财政赤字，如果加起来，据行家推算，中国现在
的资产负债表实际上已资不抵债。
这都是专制惹的祸。专制政府及其官僚党权、特权意识浓厚，民权、人权意识
淡漠。它们在剥削压迫欺骗愚弄人民方面，妙招叠出、巧计无穷，而在为国民的生
活和生命财产安全提供保护保障救济帮助方面，却是无比低劣无比冷漠。苛政猛于
恶虎，善政寥如晨星，各种社会保障制度或形同虚设或尚未建立。大多数老百姓的
生活、工作、失业、疾病等方面皆缺乏最起码的保障，如果上不起学看不起病遭了
意外之灾生活有了自己解决不了的困难，不是求助于亲友、社会，就是自己硬扛硬
忍著，政府一般是不闻不问的。专制主义还是一种国内恐怖主义。它人为制造红色、
白色恐怖；它让人祸促天灾，天灾变人祸，让人祸天灾互相配合互相促进；它把民
众包括贵人富人的各种安全感侵蚀殆尽，穷人平民不安全，富人贵人也不安全，弱
势群体没有安全感，强势集团也缺乏安全感；它推著中国向全面崩溃的目标东倒西
歪地高歌猛进。
每个人一定的安全感，是人民幸福、社会发展、国家兴旺的基础和前提。我党
总是一味强调国家安全，殊不知国家安全建立在民众各种安全需要得到有效保障的
基础上。不然，只能是水月镜花，别说社会不能稳定，国家不得安全，便是党和政
府特权阶级自身，又有何安全可言？不要再坐在火山口上干柴堆上一边大叫维护安
全一边拼命自我玩火啦，拜托。
东海一枭
这次疫情让我对美国的专家、医生大失所望。原以为专制国家专家们听政府的。民主国家专家们会独立思考，不会跟着政府的指挥棒走。戴口罩可以减少传染、保护自己，这应该是常识。可是这些专家包括知名医生（e.g. CNN的Gupta）在电视上、报纸上说没用，让我百思不解为什么没用，怀疑自己的认知哪里错了。这些人为什么说谎？
