3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

A new wave of CCP virus cases is sweeping through China’s biggest city. The virus outbreak in Shanghai has now spread beyond the city’s borders.

Anhui province is claiming a virus patient there was infected in Shanghai. Anhui is about a five-hour drive away. This comes a day after Shanghai authorities confirmed domestic cases on Nov. 9.

One case in Shanghai is a 51-year-old man named Wang. The village he’s from has since been locked down and all residents have been tested for the virus. A local told us he doesn’t know how long the lockdown will last.

Another resident told us she’s worried about the virus spreading. This, as Shanghai recently hosted the China International Import Expo a week ago from Nov 5 to Nov. 10.

Wang, the virus patient, worked at the airport where the majority of guests would have come through. Shanghai’s health commission director said at a press conference over a million people attended the event.

Anhui province says their case is a 50-year-old man who worked with Wang in Shanghai. The health commission says the man felt ill after returning from Shanghai. He tested positive at the hospital.

Where and how Wang was infected remains a mystery.

In Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has turned accounts of suffering and tragedy into political propaganda, and used for self-praise.

In one example, a six-hour documentary series was made to show off party members and officials' efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

CCP media mouthpieces reported that one of the goals of the documentary series was to showcase the political advantages of the regime's leadership and the socialist system.

In another case, a 20-episode TV series tells fictional stories about Wuhan doctors, soldiers, police officers, factory owners, delivery men, and construction workers who worked together to combat spread of the virus. The show featured a number of well-known Chinese celebrities.

There was also a drama performance, talking about how people fought against the epidemic. The title of the drama is "People at the first place."

The audience said they were in tears while watching the shows.

The two-and-a-half month lockdown of the city earlier this year brought great emotional trauma and huge economic loss to the people of the city.

Wuhan reported only 3,869 death cases of the CCP virus. But from the number of urns, the estimated death toll is at least 10 times the official figure.

But no word has been mentioned on the anger of their families about the government covering up the pandemic.

The skewed interpretations have left little to no room to grieve, and even less room for reflection about the faults and responsibilities of Chinese authorities.

The TV programs and shows also failed to mention the whistleblower doctors who were punished for warning the public about the virus's severity.

Nor did any of the series acknowledge the citizen journalists who were arrested for reporting on the virus death toll. Some of their whereabouts are still unknown.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Chinese officials appear to have been considering how to spin Wuhan's story to their advantage. Regime officials in February instructed filmmakers to create a fictional TV series called "Together," among other propaganda pieces. It was filmed in Wuhan in March when the city was still under lockdown.
