CDC confirms second U.S. case of Wuhan coronavirus

(Reuters) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday confirmed that a second case of Wuhan coronavirus in the United States had been detected in Chicago, and said as many as 63 people were being monitored as the virus spreads around the globe. The infected person had traveled to Wuhan, China recently. The woman, 60, had not taken public transportation and was not ill when she traveled, Chicago health authorities said on a conference call.

Of the 63 people under investigation from 22 states, 11 tested negative, CDC said in a conference call with reporters. The newly discovered virus has killed 26 people and infected more than 800, but most of the cases and all of the deaths so far have been in China, where officials have imposed restrictions on travel and public gatherings. The CDC said it believes the immediate threat to U.S. residents remains low. The World Health Organization on Thursday declared the virus an “emergency in China”, but stopped short of declaring it a global health emergency.

We have Big Tech getting involved in the health market place, I believe the WHO is also involved..why..think global, they take a minimal stance so that it can grow to a larger pandemic..then they come to the rescue with their Global plan of control. Trying to find Q related drops regarding WHO, I believe we need to take a closer look here.

Agreed..I remember doing some of the dig..was thinking more of the newbies..who might not have as clear a picture as they should.

New Huawei restriction in limbo after Pentagon disagrees with Commerce approach

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce Department has put on hold a rule aimed at further reducing sales to China’s Huawei Technologies amid pushback from the Defense Department, people familiar with the matter said. The move leaves the proposal in jeopardy, but President Donald Trump’s administration plans a high-level meeting next week to discuss the issue, one of the sources said, adding that the Pentagon cited concerns about the impact on U.S. businesses. The Commerce Department did not immediately comment. Huawei declined to comment.

Commerce in May placed Huawei on a trade blacklist, citing national security concerns. That allowed the U.S. government to restrict sales of American-made goods to the company and a small number of items made abroad that contain U.S. technology. Under current regulations, key foreign supply chains remain beyond the reach of U.S. authorities, fueling frustration among China hawks within the administration and a push to expand U.S. authority to block more shipments to Huawei.

Reuters reported in November that the Commerce Department was considering broadening the rule that dictates how much American content in a foreign-made product gives the U.S. government authority to regulate sales. '''Under current regulations, the United States can require a license or block the export of many high-tech products shipped to China from other countries if U.S.-made components make up more than 25% of the value

According to two people familiar with the matter, Commerce has drafted a rule that would lower the threshold only on exports to Huawei to 10% and expand the purview to include non-technical goods like consumer electronics including non-sensitive chips. U.S. businesses argue that enabling the government to regulate more sales to Huawei to include low-tech items made overseas with very little U.S. technology would end up needlessly hurting American companies while encouraging Huawei to source more goods abroad.
