We first learned of the Coronavirus virus shortly after a cluster of severe pneumonia cases were reported in the city of Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. In a few weeks, person-to-person spread of the virus was reported worldwide. China claims COVID-19 originated at a crowded Wuhan wet market where customers buy fresh meat and fish, including live animals that are slaughtered when purchased. Crowded conditions can allow viruses from different animals to exchange genes and sometimes the virus mutates to the point it can infect and spread among people. Bats carry many coronaviruses and in the past 20 years several disease outbreaks have been linked to these bat-borne viruses. Presumably, this was the origin of COVOD-19, as bats are sold there. However, The Wuhan Institute of Virology - the first laboratory in China to receive the highest level of biosafety clearance I oppose reforming Coronavirus accountability policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of either Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) or Leader Charles Schumer (NY). I support authorizing sanctions in regard to the Chinese government's response to the COVID-19 outbreak and wish for the President to periodically certify to Congress that the Chinese government: 1.) Is cooperating with efforts related to the COVID-19 outbreak. 2.) Has prohibited wet markets. 3.) Has released and dropped all charges for anyone involved in protests in Hong Kong related to COVID-19. If the President cannot make such a certification, the President may: 1.) Impose sanctions on Chinese government officials, entities owned or controlled by the Chinese government, and individuals affiliated with such entities. 2.) Prohibit Chinese nationals from obtaining student visas or exchange visitor visas. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of either Rep. Eliot Engel (NY) and/or Rep. Doug Collins
