WHO Praised Beijing in Public While Complaining Internally About Its Withholding of Virus Data: Report
The World Health Organization (WHO) struggled to obtain critical information about the CCP virus from Beijing in the early stages of the outbreak, contradicting the body’s public statements that praised the regime’s response to the crisis, according to recordings of internal meetings obtained by The Associated Press (AP). The recordings show that WHO officials complained in meetings during the week of Jan. 6 that Beijing wasn’t sharing data needed to assess how the virus spreads between people and its risk to the rest of the world. Beijing didn’t confirm that the virus was contagious until Jan. 20, and prior to that said there was little to no risk of human-to-human transmission.

MEXICO CITY—The body of a missing Mexican congresswoman from the western state of Colima has been found in a hidden grave more than a month after armed men abducted her, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on June 3.
López Obrador expressed his condolences to the family of Anel Bueno, a 38-year-old legislator from his Morena party.
Armed men took Bueno on April 29 while she was promoting health measures to prevent the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in Ixtlahuacán, Colima.
During a morning news conference in Campeche, along Mexico’s Gulf coast, the president said her body had been found Tuesday and that one suspect was in custody.
The Colima state prosecutor’s office had not yet commented on the discovery of her body.
“We still don’t know the causes, just that there is someone in custody and there is already a statement about who was responsible,” López Obrador said.
Local press had quoted the lawmaker’s mother as saying that the family waited more than two weeks to speak publicly on recommendation of the Attorney General’s Office.
Colima has faced a high level of violence due to organized crime in recent years, giving it the highest murder rate in Mexico.
Politicians have been targeted before. In 2017 Ixtlahuacán’s mayor, Crispín Gutiérrez, was killed. Last July, the mayor of the port of Manzanillo was attacked with gunfire, but escaped unharmed.

Wuhan’s Mass Virus Testing Results Called Into Question as Another Doctor Dies
The central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the CCP virus first emerged, announced the results of its mass diagnostic testing for all 9.8 million residents on June 2. Authorities claimed that only 300 asymptomatic carriers have tested positive in the city. It added that there were no confirmed diagnoses. In China, asymptomatic cases are tallied separately from those who test positive and show symptoms. However, Chinese citizens questioned the authorities’ figures. Meanwhile, another Wuhan doctor who was infected with the virus after treating patients has passed away from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, first broke out in Wuhan in late 2019, and quickly spread all across the country. In early April, after a brief period in which…
