Cell Phone Data Shows Road Shutdown Near Wuhan Bio-Lab In October

[rasbridge]

Sen. Tom Cotton spoke about the early outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo. 
 

SEN. TOM COTTON: Reports emerged yesterday in the media that publicly available cell phone data suggests that roads around the lab in Wuhan was closed in the middle of October.

Again, this information is publicly available. American media has used it to analyze mobility patterns in states to see if our people are practicing social distancing. So the reports indicate that on major roads around these labs, Wuhan, you obviously had thousands and thousands of cell phones pinging towers day in and day out. And then, all of a sudden, it stopped. And it remained stopped for several days. That would suggest, without any further information, that those roads were blocked for some reason.

Now, we need to go confirm that. We need to look at the data carefully. We also need to try to use other means to verify if there were, in fact, shutdowns of roads around those labs in the middle of October. 

The Chinese Communist Party could obviously help us with that if they would open up and allow us to investigate what happened in Wuhan. But if it is confirmed that roads around that lab were shut down for a number of days in mid-October, it is highly coincidental that there was a major shutdown of those roads at about the time one might have expected this virus to first get transmitted to humans, whatever the origins may have been. But this would be another piece of circumstantial evidence that there was some kind of accident or outbreak from those labs, not from the seafood market or anywhere else. That’s why it’s so important we get to the bottom of this data.

Remember, Wuhan is a city that is larger than New York City. So, obviously, its roads are highly trafficked and heavily congested. So to shut down roads around the lab would suggest that they had some good reason to disrupt traffic patterns so severely. 

So, again, first, we need to verify these reports, the cell phone data say what these media reports indicate, and then we need to use other sources to try to confirm what they suggest, which is, those roads were shut down. And if that’s the case, if roads were shut down around these laboratories for several days in mid-October, then we need to figure out exactly why, because it’s simply another piece of circumstantial evidence that would support the idea that this virus originated from one of those labs.

When your country is becoming one of the worst in term of governance and decision making to fight a pandemic, just light a fire somewhere else, say on your best enemy like China, so that the worst american will simply focus on bashing another country instead of holding accountable its own government...

it is a FACT. and it isn't only USA that is criticizing, questioning CHAY-NA for covering up, you have several European countries aswell. heck, even the chinese in Wuhan despise the CCP. 

so either you are one of the 5cent army or some leftie who just hates trump.

This is not the subject. Of course China should be criticized, did I wrote otherwise ?

However, before rejecting all responsibility on others, one should look at its own flaws and mismanagement of the current crisis. Trump has obviously failed to manage properly the covid outbreak.

Pointing fingers to other is usual with him: it's either another country or Obama's fault... easy rhetoric.

 

If stating the above makes me a "5cent" (whatever this means) or "some leftie who just hates trump", then so be it, I'm glad to have either or both of these "titles".

Of the first nine cases to be reported in November -- four men and five women -- none has been confirmed as being "patient zero".

Did the cell phones in the Wuhan Institute of Virology go dark for 17 days in October?

A media headline, dated 5 May 2020,  reports the following:

 

China asked WHO to cover up coronavirus outbreak: German intelligence service
Delay cost world 4 to 6 weeks that could have been used for preparation: BND

 

In these times of uncertainty, we should be thankful that there are sources that allow us to make informed decisions about this pandemic.
