USA and China clash over the coronavirus origin investigation in Wuhan!

-

 There is problem between the USA and China over the WHO's investigation in Wuhan regarding the origin of coronavirus pandemic. Was it a natural disaster, or an accident, or a deliberate attempt to destroy the world? America wants to interrogate the caregivers, patients, lab workers in order to know the exact cause of the viral source. But China is against this. Why? Is China trying to hide something?

WHO and its special investigative team

WHO-led independent experts have reached Wuhan on 14 January 2021. They want to determine the likely cause of the virus. They are now in quarantine for 2 weeks before they begin their work in Wuhan. Currently, from their quarantined spots they are in talks with their Chinese counterparts by means of teleconferencing. 

The USA is totally unhappy with China's non-transparency in this matter. It has accused China of hiding the initial magnitude of the problem. They feel valuable time was lost there and led to the virus going uncontrolled and expanding into a pandemic. They are not satisfied with the terms of the visit in which the Chinese have done the first phase of the research.

What US experts demand?

Garrett Grigsby of the Department of Health and Human Services is heading the US delegation. The team has demanded that China should share with them the complete details of the animal, human, and environmental samples it collected from the wet markets of Wuhan where the virus is said to have originated in 2019 end. He said:

“We have a solemn duty to ensure that this critical investigation is credible and is conducted objectively and transparently,”

He wants genetic data of the virus to compare it with the other new variants of the virus. This will help to know the overlap and might help in pinpointing the source of the virus. The Australian delegation also wants access to all 'relevant data, information and key locations'. 

China and its stand

Sun Yang，director-general of the health emergency response office of China’s National Health Commission said:

“The virus origin studies are of a scientific nature. It needs coordination, cooperation. We must stop any political pressure.”

WHO emergency chief Mike Ryan said:

“There are no guarantees of answers,”

He added:

"It is a difficult task to fully establish the origins and sometimes it can take two or three or four attempts to be able to do that in different settings.”

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...

 Covid-19 pandemic started in Wuhan in China. This was in December 2019. But China continues to state that though the first cases of Covid-19 were detected in Wuhan, it never originated there. But the world wants to know the true answer of origin of the virus and hence the pandemic that brought the world to a standstill. WHO is investigating this matter.  China and its denial of origin of coronavirus   China has been persistent in its denial of Covid-19 in Wuhan. It stresses that though the first cases were detected there, they never originated there. They claim that it came into Wuhan from somewhere else.  But the world feels that the wet markets are the source of the pandemic. Also, the other powerful countries of the world such as the USA blame the Wuhan Virology lab for the start of the virus and its spread to the outside world. WHO is investigating this matter. Initially, WHO was denied access of the lab but now they have been able to get inside and try to probe...
