U.S. Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas warned America about the Coronavirus by saying, “I want to talk about the biggest and the most important story in the world, the Wuhan Coronavirus.” He continued, “This Coronavirus is a catastrophe on the scale of Chernobyl for China, but actually it’s probably worse than Chernobyl.”

He pointed out that the Coronavirus could result in a global pandemic while all America is sleeping overnight. At the time of this report, he said that the number of diagnosed cases in China increased by 30%. “Well, let me be clear, that’s not new cases. That is just newly admitted cases. It is probably several orders of magnitude higher than that,” he said. 

He added, “Also, while you were sleeping, China now has its entire border with Russia closed 2,600 miles. Russia has closed that border. Travel between Israel and China is all shut down. Air France is shut down travel between China and France, and that’s in addition to all the other countries that have already shut down travel.”

He said that from what we know, there are still many unknowns. This virus could have both a long incubation period as much as 14 days and individuals could be contagious while asymptomatic, which was not the case with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003. “Furthermore, from some cases, it appears the virus could be aerosolized, which means it doesn’t require the kind of contact that you have with say a married couple kissing each other or a family living in close quarters in a hotel or apartment, but rather the distances we are all sitting apart right now.”

He emphasized, “Yet China is still lying about all of this. They’ve been lying about it from the very beginning and you don’t need their history of lying about SARS in 2003 though it is relevant here. You just have to see what’s happened over the last two months. We now know that the first case manifested no later than December one even though China didn’t reveal it to the WHO (World Health Organization) until a month later on December 31st when they continued to hide it from their citizens and they continued to say that hadn’t been contained inside Wuhan today it is in every single province in China.”

Sen. Cotton said that the Chinese also claimed for almost two months that it had originated in a seafood market. And that locals have contracted it from animals and say bat soup or Steak tartare. “That is not the case,” he said. 

The Lancet, which is the world’s leading independent general medical journal, published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market including patient zero. As one epidemiologist said, that virus went into the seafood market before it came out of the seafood markets. “We still don’t know where it originated. It could have been another seafood market. It could have been a farm, could have been a food processing company. I would know that Wuhan also has China’s only biosafety level super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly pathogens to include, Yes, Coronavirus. Now, look at China’s actions. They have quarantined 60 million people, 60 million more than the entire population of our West coast.”

The senator also said that the Chinese have shut down schools and classes canceled nationwide indefinitely. “Hong Kong, a part of China has basically shut down all travel from the mainland. That’s why it is essential that we immediately stop all travel on commercial aircraft between China and the United States. Make exceptions, of course, for American citizens to come back, as we just brought back yesterday. Allowing a central trade to flow as long as a cruise on ships and aircraft are not allowed to go into the general population in America and making exceptions, of course, for medical personnel to go into China to try to get a handle on this. We must take those steps and is essential that we get to the bottom of China’s deceit and incompetence on this measure.”
