Czech Republic Says it May Keep Borders Closed For 2 Years

To stop potential second wave of coronavirus.

Published

Officials in the Czech Republic say that the country may need to keep its borders closed for 2 years in order to fight a potential second wave of coronavirus.

Czech Crisis Staff head Roman Prymula told Czech Television that border controls may have to be kept in place for an extended period in order to restrict the entry of people from other European countries that have been harder hit by coronavirus.

“The situation in other European countries will not be good, there it will take months and long months,” said Prymula.

Czech Minister of Health Adam Vojtech amplified Prymula’s suggestion.

“The point is to avoid having a second or third wave of the epidemic, so that people from other countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Germany, do not begin to flow [into the Czech Republic],” he told Czech Television.

Quarantine measures that restrict the movement of people and have mandated the closure of restaurants and other businesses, as well as the wearing of face coverings in public, will be extended in the Czech. Republic until at least April 1st.

The measures have been successful, with Prymula highlighting how authorities were able to “flatten the curve” of infections and keep the rate under control.

The country has largely escaped the impact of coronavirus in comparison to other European countries, recording 1,236 cases but just a single death.

Vit Rakusan, leader of the opposition STAN party, said the idea of closing the border for 2 years was draconian.

“I understand and support the ban on traveling during current culmination of the epidemic. But scaring people with two years, this must not be a decision of an epidemiologist, however prominent,” he asserted.

WHO Urges Countries To Reveal Intel On COVID Origins After FBI Director’s Statements

Following the dramatic narrative shift on Covid origins by US authorities, the World Health Organization is asking any governments with intelligence on the virus’ origins to come forward and present their information. 

“If any country has information about the origins of the pandemic, it’s essential for that information to be shared with WHO and the international scientific community,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Friday, coming quickly on the heels of FBI Director Christopher Wray saying this week that the source of the pandemic was “most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan”.

The WHO chief said further, “Not so as to apportion blame but to advance our understanding of how this pandemic started, so we can prevent, prepare for and respond to future epidemics and pandemics.”

“WHO continues to call for [China] to be transparent in sharing data and to conduct the necessary investigations and share the results. To that effect, I have written to, and spoken with, high-level Chinese leaders on multiple occasions, as recently as just a few weeks ago.”

Tedros also stressed, and not for the first time, that “Until then, all hypotheses on the origins of the virus remain on the table.”

Though of course, it’s highly doubtful that Beijing will be feeling any real pressure as a result of this very much belated statement. It’s important to recall how he spent the early months of the pandemic publicly kowtowing to China.

The WHO came under heavy fire early into the pandemic for praising China’s “transparent” response to the pandemic, repeating misinformation from Beijing related to human-to-human transmission, and bowing to pressure from Chinese President Xi Jinping not to declare the Covid-19 outbreak an emergency.

Yet, while initially promoting the natural origin theory, Tedros and the WHO have reportedly become far more ‘open’ to the lab leak theory as time has passed.

Cotton: Biden Wants To Appease Chinese Communists

“This administration has a losing policy”

Senator Tom Cotton accused the Biden administration of “appeasing Chinese Communists” Thursday, noting that it’s a “losing policy” that Biden is intent on continuing.

Appearing on Fox Business, Cotton, another conservative who has been vindicated by fresh intelligence on the lab leak of COVID, proclaimed that “the only conspiracy… was the conspiracy of silence among liberals and the media, and the federal bureaucracy and the Democrats in Congress to suppress the common sense conclusion that the Chinese Communists were responsible, because of their negligent practices in this lab, for unleashing this pandemic on the world.”

“Unfortunately you still see that conspiracy of silence to some degree,” Cotton continued, adding “You see White House officials bending over backwards to say they don’t have a consensus, there are no firm conclusions, to apologise for or even defend Chinese Communists.”

“They did the same thing when China sent a spy balloon to America, speculating that it could have gotten blown off course from Guam to Alaska. That’s a heck of a wind,” Cotton further noted.

“What’s dangerous, is that the Biden administration and liberals in the media still have this mindset that somehow if we appease Chinese communists, if we mollify them, if we kowtow to them, then they won’t take provocative actions towards America,” Cotton asserted, urging “That’s the exact opposite of what we should be doing.”

The Senator continued, “It’s part of a pattern of Joe Biden’s career. He’s always excused Chinese communist aggression and wrongdoing. I mean, as recently as the 2020 campaign, he was saying that China is not a competitor of the United States.”

Cotton added that Biden “even goes out of his way, still, to say that he doesn’t want a Cold War. Well, I don’t either, and most Arkansans don’t. But if China is waging a Cold War against us, as they have been for decades, our only choice is to win or to lose. And unfortunately, this administration has a losing policy.”

    Video: Cruz Blasts Media For Labelling COVID Lab Leak As “Misinformation And Conspiracy Theory”

    “The millions of deaths are a result of that virus escaping from a Chinese government lab.”

    Senator Ted Cruz has slammed the mainstream media for continually lying and labelling solid evidence that the COVID pandemic was caused by a lab leak as a ‘conspiracy theory’.

    Appearing on Fox Business, Cruz asserted that “The COVID virus escaped from a Chinese government lab and the millions of deaths are a result of that virus escaping from a Chinese government lab.” 

    “The corporate media for two years has been lying about this,” he continued, adding “They have been labeling as misinformation and conspiracy theory the obvious inference that this escaped from a Chinese lab, I think likely the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

    “The government of China needs to be held accountable for the millions of lives lost because of this virus, for the trillions of dollars of damage in terms of jobs destroyed, businesses destroyed, the world economy brought to its knees because of China’s culpability,” Cruz urged 

    Watch:

    Cruz’ comments come in the wake of the latest revelation that the Department Of Energy has concluded that a lab leak is the likeliest cause of the COVID pandemic, with Cruz’ fellow GOP Senator Rand Paul labelling the fallout “one of the greatest cover-ups in modern medical history.” 

    It has also been revealed that the US State Department-funded Global Disinformation Index punished conservative websites by throttling their advertising revenue if they gave credence to the COVID-19 lab leak theory, despite it subsequently proving likely true.

    As we also highlighted yesterday, the Chinese Communist Party threatened Elon Musk to stop sharing stories about the Wuhan lab leak, suggesting Tesla’s business interests in China would be at risk if he kept amplifying the issue.

    This once again underscores how hysteria over ‘fake news’ and ‘disinformation’ has been weaponized to justify the censorship of awkward stories and even facilitate actual cover-ups.
