WASHINGTON, April 17 — China yesterday came under mounting pressure over the coronavirus pandemic from Western powers led by the United States, which said it was probing whether the virus that has infected more than 2.1 million people actually originated in a Wuhan laboratory. The new focus on...

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told reporters there could be no “business as usual” with China. “We're doing a full investigation of everything we can to learn how it is the case that this virus got away, got out into the world and now has created so much tragedy — so much death,” Pompeo told Fox News.Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone and called efforts to blame Beijing counterproductive.

Trump has also gone on the attack against the WHO, saying he will cut US funding for the UN body because it did not press China harder on initial statements that the virus could not be spread among people. Britain, whose daily death toll spiked to 861 yesterday, will extend its lockdown for"at least the next few weeks," Raab said.

“I would like to see that infection rate get down even more,” Cuomo said, reporting that 606 people had died in the last day, the lowest number in 10 days.

Very sad that at moments like these, she has to respond to such rumors. In Asia, most of us believe the virus was a set up by the US. It was engineered to attack Asians, specifically Chinese. That theory helps to explain why in the early days Trump was so confident.

It is impossible for an animal virus to immediately infect human. It wld need time to mutate to infect a new type of host. A good example is the spikes tht this virus has tht the previous SARS virus dont. The wet market wld've been a more probable origin compared to a lab.

No doubt covid19 aka wuhan virus is caused by china...if not the lab, it must be from their people who loves eating nasty things.

Despite been dismissed as an absurd conspiracy theory, can't help but think everything- virus, claim on South China Sea, trade war, massive belt road initiative combined with China's notorious reputation for lack of transparency are all interlinked. A ploy to take over the world?

Bloody hypocrit China. D cause of the death of hundreds of thousands of precious lives

The scientific already told us. It is origin from USA. USA virus

Pressure from whom From the US president who’s in desperate need to deflect he did nothing, and his allies.
