First, Chinese state media attacked Mike Pompeo. Then, it ran a hit piece on Steve Bannon. Why do they target Bannon now? It is reported that Bannon met with a defected scientist from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Is it true? Will Beijing face a Tiananmen-like backlash over the outbreak? At this critical moment in time, Simone Gao had this discussion with the host of War Room pandemic, Steve Bannon

In a sense, the pandemic is a world war. In the European war zone, a sort of Winston Churchill is needed, one who sees what’s really at stake at this time, and is able to act courageously and single mindedly to defeat the enemy in both the short and long- term. Besides the virus itself, the pandemic is a warning, a wake up call about Communist China.

Where is the U.S. at the curve right now? How would testing make a difference? Will China have a resurgence? Simone discussed these questions with Eric Feigl Ding, Visiting Scientist in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.He is also the Chief Health Economist for Microclinic International.

In this debut episode of Zooming In Glance, a new format that we are trying out, we will focus on the Chinese Communist Party’s, or CCP’s, intentional cover-up. The CCP’s under-reporting and delays of information has caused the current worldwide outbreak. In this program, we break down the series of critical events and government actions leading up to the global outbreak.

Four months into the outbreak, the same discussion now points to only one thing: Does the supply chain dependence pose a national security threat? If China cuts its supply today, in how long would the US be unable to buy generic drugs from its stores? Rare earth is another vulnerability in the US supply chain. Is it easy for China to weaponize such monopoly? How did the rest of the manufacturing move to China, and most important of all, what does the mastermind behind all this intend to achieve?

Both America and the world have been reliant on China’s numbers for establishing models for the pandemic. But just how reliable are these numbers? Caixin wrote on multiple days, trucks delivered 2,500 urns to a government-run funeral home. There are 8 funeral homes in Wuhan. However, the total official death toll in Wuhan is only 2500. What would the U.S. have done differently if we knew the true picture of the pandemic?

At CPAC 2020, Sean Spicer, former White House Press Secretary and White House Communications Director under President Donald Trump told Simone what it was like to work with the president. He said with Trump, what you see is what you get, you always know where you stand with the president. He also said President Trump believes he could influence Xi Jinping by being a friend with him.

Data analysis by USA Today found that, two weeks after the US first entered into community transmission on March 3, America’s trajectory is trending towards Italy’s, where circumstances are dire. The way the situation has developed since then further supported the prediction. Will America become a second Italy, or even worse? Can lives and the economy be saved at the same time? What about one of the countries that most successfully contained the outbreak? What did Taiwan do to keep the CCP virus in chec

The US now has the most confirmed cases of the CCP virus in the world, more than 139,700 cases. Italy's death toll is now the highest in the world. We all know the U.S. has not yet reached the peak of this pandemic. And its numbers have already surpassed the Chinese official numbers by a large margin. China locked down Wuhan on Jan. 24, before that, they did nothing. The 1st case in China could appear in Nov. Could China really have a much smaller outbreak than the U.S.?

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for the CCP virus or the covid-19 and is self-isolating at home. Meanwhile the US is quickly becoming the new epicenter of the global outbreak, that is, if we trust the numbers from China. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said the curve in New York is looking to apex in 21 days while New hot spots are emerging in other cities such as Chicago, Detroit and New Orleans. In Washington, congress just passed the $2 trillion emergency relief package.
