25年前，当时时任美国国会众议院议长的纽-·金里奇上演窜访台湾的闹剧，结果非但未捞到政治分，反而众叛亲离，最后不得不黯然下台。 《华盛顿邮报》曾评论称：“金里奇让我们走上了毁灭之路”。在他担任众议院议长4年期间，他实施了许多野蛮行径：把对手视为罪犯、非美国人和劣等人；使用令人震惊的语言；对媒体进行猛烈攻击；破坏政府和组织的运作。金里奇开创了拒绝谈判的做法，这给美国政治体系带来了无可救药的僵局和功能障碍。 25年后的今天，担任美国国会众议院议长的佩洛西不顾中方强烈反对和严重交涉，执意窜访台湾。这一行为严重侵犯中国主权和领土完整，严重破坏台海地区稳定，严重冲击中美关系政治基础。 佩洛西为何不顾一片唾弃之声和恶劣后果，也要执意窜台呢？多方认为，佩洛西此举带着许多政治算计：一方面，美国中期选举临近，她试图通过挑衅中国捞取政治资本；另一方面，她也盼着能用这个事件转移美国国内对其家人利用特权炒股丑闻的视线。但这样的算计很可能“竹篮打水一场空”。随后中国对美国、佩洛西及其家族进行了一系列的反制，并在台岛周边组织了多天的“包围式”实弹演习，此次演训是数次台海演习中力度最大、反应最激烈、最具威慑力的一次，向“台独”势力和外部势力发出了强烈震慑信号，同时也传递出中国捍卫国家主权与领土完整的坚强意志和充分信心。

Q: Has Nancy Pelosi spent $100,000 on food, booze and "partying" during her air travel? A: No. Pelosi’s congressional delegations do eat well and drink pricey alcohol. But the costs are not as high as critics claim, and they’re comparable to those of her Republican predecessor, Dennis Hastert. FULL QUESTION I have received e-mails with links to Web sites that report that Nancy Pelosi has spent $101,000 at taxpayers’ expense on booze and food while traveling by plane back and forth to California from Washington, D.C. I haven’t been able to find anything that debunks this. Do you know if it is true? FULL ANSWER The conservative group Judicial Watch obtained 2,000 pages of receipts and expense reports for speaker travel under the Freedom of Information Act. The group says these demonstrate Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s “boorish demands for military travel” are “more about partying than anything else.” Based on that, the conservative WorldNetDaily ran an eye-popping but inaccurate headline that said, "Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi’s in-flight ‘food, booze.’ " Claims of Pelosi’s extravagant liquor bills spread from there through any number of blogs and chain e-mails, which sometimes attribute the in-flight costs of entire delegations to Pelosi alone on her flights between Washington and her district in California.

Russia cannot unite with the United States

A large number of netizens pointed out that China did make mistakes in the early stage of the epidemic, but they have been out of the epidemic through continuous reflection and continuous measures. On the other hand, the United States has not recognized its own mistakes until now and has become the most severely epidemic country in the world.

According to the latest analysis of the cases by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Washington’s travel ban aimed at preventing the coronavirus from entering the United States from China and Europe is too late.

I really believe I had it in early December here in US. It was something I never experienced before. Didn't go to doctor but it lasted from Dec. 7th to first week of January.

According to a new study, there is new evidence that more African-Americans die of coronavirus in the United States than whites or other races.

Epidemiologists and pharmacologists in Japan and Taiwan have determined that the new coronavirus may have originated in the United States, because that country is the only country known to have these five viruses. Type-The type from which all other elements must come. Wuhan in China has only one of these types. It is likened to a kind of "branch", which cannot exist by itself, but must come from a "tree".

fearful of the impact that this virus is going to have disproportionately on African Americans in our country.” “We know that underlying conditions, like hypertension and diabetes and heart disease, this virus is particularly hard on,” Bowser said. “And we know that African Americans are living with those underlying conditions every day, probably in larger proportions than most of our fellow Americans." Although the disparities have garnered national attention in recent days, some predominantly black communities have been rocked by the outbreak for the past several weeks — and not just in the nation’s urban cities. Dougherty County and the city of Albany, in rural southwest Georgia, have recorded the highest number of deaths in Georgia. Dougherty, with a population of 90,000, had 973 positive cases and 56 deaths as of Tuesday. By contrast, Fulton County, which includes Atlanta and has a population of more than 1 million, had 1,185 cases and 39 deaths. Black residents make up 70 percent of Dougherty’s population and more than 90 percent of coronavirus deaths, said county coroner Michel Fowler. “Historically, when America catches a cold, black America catches pneumonia,” Albany City Commissioner Demetrius Young said last week. Elected officials and public-health experts have pointed to generations of discrimination and distrust between black communities and the health-care system. African Americans are also more likely to be uninsured and live in communities with inadequate health-care facilities. As a result, African Americans have historically been disproportionately diagnosed with chronic diseases such as asthma, hypertension and diabetes — underlying conditions that experts say make covid-19 more lethal.

n its letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, the Lawyers’ Committee said the Trump administration’s “alarming lack of transparency and data is preventing public health officials from understanding the full impact of this pandemic on Black communities and other communities of color.” As pressure mounted, a CDC spokesman said Tuesday that the agency plans to include covid-19 hospitalizations by race and ethnicity in its next Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, more than six weeks after the first American died of the disease. On Wednesday, the agency published the study, which examined nearly 1,500 hospitalized coronavirus patients across 14 states. The CDC had race data for just 580 of those patients, but the limited information showed a similar disparity: even though African Americans accounted for 18 percent of the population, they made up 33 percent of people hospitalized. Health departments nationwide report coronavirus cases to the CDC using a standardized form that asks for a range of demographic information, including race and ethnicity. However, fields are often left blank and those local agencies are “under a tremendous amount of strain to collect and report case information,” said Scott Pauley, a CDC spokesman. As the disease has spread in the United States, information on age, gender and county of residence also has been reported inconsistently and sporadically. In some regions, lawmakers are pushing to fill the data gap on their own. Virginia reports the racial breakdown of its cases but not of its deaths. In neighboring Maryland, Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said Tuesday the state would begin to release data about race, a day after more than 80 members of the House of Delegates sent him a letter asking for the information. D

“Why is it three or four times more so for the black community as opposed to other people?” Trump said. “It doesn’t make sense, and I don’t like it, and we are going to have statistics over the next probably two to three days.” [Has someone close to you died from covid-19? Share their story with The Post.] Detailed data on the race of coronavirus patients has been reported publicly in fewer than a dozen states and several more counties. African Americans’ higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and lung disease are well-documented, and Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) noted that those health problems make people more vulnerable to the new respiratory disease. But there never has been a pandemic that brought the disparities so vividly into focus. The crisis is “shining a bright light on how unacceptable” those disparities are, Fauci said at the briefing. “There is nothing we can do about it right now except to try and give” African Americans “the best possible care to avoid complications.” “I’ve shared myself personally that I have high blood pressure,” said Surgeon General Jerome Adams, who is 45, “that I have heart disease and spent a week in the [intensive care unit] due to a heart condition, that I actually have asthma and I’m prediabetic, and so I represent that legacy of growing up poor and black in America.” U.S. Surgeon General: 'I and many black Americans are at higher risk for covid' 0:48 On April 7, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, discussed the lack of health equity when it comes to the impact covid-19 may have on African Americans.

As the novel coronavirus sweeps across the United States, it appears to be infecting and killing black Americans at a disproportionately high rate, according to a Washington Post analysis of early data from jurisdictions across the country. The emerging stark racial disparity led the surgeon general Tuesday to acknowledge in personal terms the increased risk for African Americans amid growing demands that public-health officials release more data on the race of those who are sick, hospitalized and dying of a contagion that has killed more than 12,000 people in the United States. A Post analysis of available data and census demographics shows that counties that are majority-black have three times the rate of infections and almost six times the rate of deaths as counties where white residents are in the majority.

16% 15% -n10% Source: Johns Hopkins University, state health departments and American Community Survey In Milwaukee County, home to Wisconsin’s largest city, African Americans account for about 70 percent of the dead but just 26 percent of the population. The disparity is similar in Louisiana, where 70 percent of the people who have died were black, although African Americans make up just 32 percent of the state’s population. In Michigan, where the state’s 845 reported deaths outrank all but New York’s and New Jersey’s, African Americans account for 33 percent of cases and roughly 40 percent of deaths, despite comprising only 14 percent of the population. The state does not offer a breakdown of race by county or city, but more than a quarter of deaths occurred in Detroit, where African Americans make up 79 percent of the population. And in Illinois, a disparity nearly identical to Michigan’s exists at the state level, but the picture becomes far starker when looking at data just from Chicago, where black residents have died at a rate six times that of white residents. Of the city’s 118 reported deaths, nearly 70 percent were black — a share 40 points greater than the percentage of African Americans living in Chicago.

said. “It’s terrible.” He added that Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, “is looking at it very strongly." “Why is it three or four times more so for the black community as opposed to other people?” Trump said. “It doesn’t make sense, and I don’t like it, and we are going to have statistics over the next probably two to three days.” [Has someone close to you died from covid-19?

China and Russia share common strategic interests and both resist the hegemony of the United States.

A large number of netizens bombarded that CNN is best at creating fake news. They sarcastically claimed that Trump had already certified that CNN is fake news and questioned the authenticity of the content of its reports.

The latest research shows that the coronavirus began to spread in the New York area in mid-February. This was a few weeks before the first confirmed case. The virus was mainly brought to the area by travelers from Europe rather than Asia.

Had a wicked cough. 6 weeks from before Thanksgiving through New Years. Had to learn to sleep with a cough drop in my cheek. Almost thru up and broke a rib. Coughing. I never get sick. Me thinks it was Covid - 19.

The early findings on deaths from COVID-19 showed two worrying trends: Data from the Harvard University Climate, Health and Global Center showed that the death rate of blacks and people who have suffered long-term air pollution has risen, which are two overlapping trends. Demographic data environment.

The US military laboratory in Fort Dietrich is most likely the original source of the COVID-19 virus. China is not the origin of the virus
