Connecticut Severance Agreement & General Release, 815: Fill & Download for Free

The reason for US not joining the international investigation is that there are gigantic elephants in the room which US rather avoid having anyone talk about them.Deadly Germ Research Is Shut Down at Army Lab Over Safety ConcernsBioweapons lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland had been experiencing issues with its sanitation and safety systems from May 2018 until July 2019, when CDC shut it down via a cease and desist order.In that period and immediately following that, numerous cases in the area were seen, whose symptoms were similar to covid, but were labeled as ‘vaping related’ or ‘flu’ for lack of awareness of the virus.Officials: At Least 1,300 Flu Deaths Reported So Far This Flu Season, Including 4 In MarylandFlu spread significantly in all states except Alaska as of the week ending December 7. Both the eastern and western United States are being hit hard, with widespread flu activity in 23 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.In Maryland, 14,000 people have visited the emergency room this season due to influenza-like illness and 176 people have been hospitalized. Thirty-six of those hospitalizations came in the first week of December.Some of these cases were labeled as ‘vaping related’.Vaping-Related Illnesses Triple In Maryland In Recent WeeksThe Maryland Health Department now says cases of vaping related illnesses have tripled in recent weeks.The number of cases in the State of Maryland has now increased to 15. That’s up from five reported cases at the end of last month.“They’re extremely short of breath, have low oxygen levels and you look at their X-ray and it looks like dense pneumonia, but it’s not pneumonia in the sense of an infection, it’s respiratory failure, the lungs are failing,” Mercy Lung Center Director Albert Polito said.In Virginia as well, various cases of ‘mystery pneumonia’ was seen later.Cause of Respiratory Illness Still Unknown After Dozens Sickened at Virginia Retirement CommunityThe outbreak in Greenspring retirement community began June 30. Sick residents had symptoms such as coughs, fever and pneumonia.Recent findings show that larger US states also had coronavirus much earlier than what was thought.New signs suggest coronavirus was in California far earlier than anyone knew“The virus was freewheeling in our community and probably has been here for quite some time,” Dr. Jeff Smith, a physician who is the chief executive of Santa Clara County government, told county leaders in a recent briefing.How long? A study out of Stanford suggests a dramatic viral surge in February.Autopsies reveal first confirmed U.S. coronavirus-related deaths occurred in California in FebruaryAutopsies reveal that other regions of the world also had covid cases way before February. Like in Lombardy, Italy, where covid was thought to have made its first outbreak in the West.‘Strange pneumonia’ seen in Lombardy in NovemberA “strange pneumonia” was circulating in northern Italy as long ago as November, weeks before doctors were made aware of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, one of the European country’s leading medical experts said this week, the South China Morning Post reported.“They [general practitioners] remember having seen very strange pneumonia, very severe, particularly in old people in December and even November,” Giuseppe Remuzzi, the director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, said in an interview with the National Public Radio of the United States.On top of that, US conducted a national pandemic preparation exercise around November 2019.Pandemic simulation exercise spotlights massive preparedness gapSenior scholar, Johns Hopkins Center for Health SecurityThat center's latest pandemic simulation, Event 201, dropped participants right in the midst of an uncontrolled coronavirus outbreak that was spreading like wildfire out of South America to wreak worldwide havocIt gets worse - a Seattle doctor was able to detect coronavirus in January.Covid-19 Arrived in Seattle. Where It Went From There Stunned the Scientists.Doctor who treated first US coronavirus patient says COVID-19 has been 'circulating unchecked' for weeksNick Malik's answer to Do residents in states that are being hit hard by coronavirus (i.e., NY, CA, and WA) feel like President Trump cares about them?CDC sent her a cease and desist order and told her to not continue testing for the virus.As you will understand, this is something particularly damning for US administration. An American doctor detected covid way back in January, but was ordered not to continue testing.After that, US refused to use WHO approved, ready test kits which the rest of the world was using, and instead started a protracted process of producing its own kits, which delayed the availability of kits for a long time.How testing failures allowed coronavirus to sweep the U.S.“Please provide an explanation for why the Covid-19 diagnostic test approved by the World Health Organization was not used,” Sen. Patty Murray, the ranking Democrat on the Senate health committee, who represents the hard-hit state of Washington, asked in a 3½-page letter on the testing fiasco to Pence, Health Secretary Alex Azar, CDC director Robert Redfield, and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn.The rest of US response has been pretty incompetent as well: The president has said covid was a hoax, only to change his stance later.Not only Trump, but at that point in time, entire US establishment was downplaying the pandemic and criticizing China for ‘overreacting’ and ‘being tyrannical’.Afterwards, US administration left states to handle their own responses, but prevented them from buying medical supplies from China, forcing states to try to acquire supplies secretly…Pritzker arranging secret flights from China to bring millions of masks and gloves to IllinoisGov. J.B. Pritzker is planning to obtain millions of masks and gloves from China and bring those supplies back to Illinois on charter jets — but he’s keeping the details secret out of fear the Trump administration might seize the cargo for the federal stockpile, sources said Tuesday.Illinois Gov. Pritzker Secretly Bought Medical Supplies From China. And The White House Is Not Happy.States had to enter bidding wars against each other to acquire PPE, masks and so on.States are bidding against each other and the federal government for important medical supplies — and it's driving up pricesLacking supplies from the federal government, states and localities have had to find their own. That’s created a market with many bidders, including the federal, state and local governments along with individual consumers, likely contributing to higher prices.Governors across the country have expressed their frustration with the situation.Providers in bidding war with states, federal agencies on medical suppliesBy that point, not only there was no tangible and consistent federal response, but the national response of US was all over the place across different states.…Moreover, there has ben international incidents in which US got into scuffles with other countries.US accused of ‘piracy’ after mask shipment is diverted from GermanyA German official accused the US of “modern piracy” after a shipment of medical masks intended for German police were reportedly diverted to the states, a sign of how hot the international market for protective equipment has become.About 200,000 N95 masks were “confiscated” in Bangkok as they were being transferred between planes in Thailand, Berlin authorities told the BBC.Face masks from China intended for France 'hijacked' by US at the last minute…As you will understand from the above progression of events, any international and objective inquiry to the origin of the virus and the response to the virus would be very, very bad for US administration and US establishment in general. For that reason, US would rather avoid any investigation that involves itself at all.
