Many Wuhan Coronavirus Patients Still Don’t Have Access to Treatment

Residents in Wuhan City, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, are pleading for help as the city’s overwhelmed healthcare system cannot accommodate sick patients. Though authorities freed up almost 10,000 hospital beds in Wuhan, many coronavirus patients have not been able to receive hospital treatment, according to eyewitness accounts. Some were forced to wait in the cold for hours lining up in front of hospitals. Chinese authorities have reported tens of thousands of infections and over 900 deaths, but expert analysis and first-hand accounts from Wuhan suggest the true number of infections and death toll is far higher than officially reported. The Epoch Times recently spoke to staff and officials at five Wuhan funeral homes, who reported increases in their intake, suggesting that more people are dying of the disease…

Four New Jersey high school basketball players were suspended after being accused of attacking their coach, according to multiple reports.

The incident happened around 9 p.m. on Feb. 4 outside of聽Malcolm X Shabazz High School in Newark, reported CNN,聽as members of the school’s Junior Varsity basketball team聽were returning from a game in Livingston. After getting off the bus, four basketball players allegedly began assaulting their coach.

Sources told ABC 7 that the players went after the coach after he tried to stop them from bullying another student. A video of the attack shows a group of teens chasing a man while a teen behind the camera can be heard saying “they’re about to jump the basketball coach!” The students are then seen punching and kicking the man as he lay on the ground.

After the police arrived on scene, the coach declined medical assistance.

“Our detectives聽are investigating this incident to identify and to appropriately charge those individuals involved. Because high school students are typically juveniles, the names of the suspects will not be released. But those found to have participated in this senseless act of violence will face criminal charges,” said聽Newark Department of Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose.

The students have not been charged, and because they are minors, their identities have not been released. Four students involved in the attack have been suspended, reported CNN.

Following the incident, Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka released a statement saying the students actions will “not be tolerated.”

“I spoke to the superintendent, principal, coaches and team. The actions of these students will not be tolerated, and the do not represent the majority of the school. The school and team have many great kids, who go on to college and do great things, and we’re proud of them. We support the superintendent and principal and will do whatever we can to make the rest of the year successful,”聽Baraka said.

The video of the attack was shared widely on social media, and majority of the student body expressed disappointment when seeing incidents like this, according to ABC 7 .

“It’s kind of embarrassing. We should be getting seen for better things like our community, our teams,” one student told the outlet.

An investigation is currently underway.
