Hong Kong initiates ‘serious response’ level as mysterious sickness recalls deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) that killed 700 people back in 2002-2003.
This new outbreak occurs just after the government has launched a new plan to respond to unknown infectious disease… And just after the protests have started again in Hong Kong.
Superbugs are everywhere. So are mysterious diseases. But sometimes, outbreaks really appear to be weaponized and man-made. Hong Kong authorities have moved to “serious response” level as fears spread about a mysterious infectious disease that may have been brought back by visitors to a mainland Chinese city. This comes a day after the government has introduced a new plan for unknown infection disease.
The mysterious viral pneumonia has infected more than 44 people in Wuhan, a town in central China west of Shanghai and about 900km north of Hong Kong.
The outbreak has revived memories of the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic that killed more than 700 people in the mainland, Hong Kong and elsewhere.
Hong Kong’s chief executive, has urged any travellers who develop respiratory symptoms to wear surgical masks, seek medical attention and let doctors know where they have been.
Meanwhile, health officials say the sudden occurence is not Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars). But…
New government plan launched for unknown infectious disease
The serious-response level activated on Saturday in Hong Kong is the second highest in a three-tier system that is part of a new government plan launched Saturday to respond to infectious diseases of unknown cause.
The system is new… Are they testing it? Are they introducing a unknown infectious disease to test their new government plan? Is this a first step to stop protests with bacterial weapons? Some tests have been made before, even on U.S. citizens.
Because after weeks of relative calm, Hong Kong protesters began the new year the way they’d spent much of the old one: in the streets.
A peaceful New Year’s Day march descended within a few hours into violent clashes with riot officers deploying water cannons and pepper spray and protesters building barricades.
So do you think this new unknown viral infection in China and Hong Kong could be linked to a governmental biological weapon test?

Well There is no beginning or ends. The World War 3 started as it seems everything is under control suddenly Iran terrorist regime will rise up again. Ayatollahs are lairs and with a lot of
deceptions indeed. Donald Trump must start drafting and bring 1 Million army to invade the terrorist ayatollahs or Iranian terrorist regime will bring downs all middle east together. As far as quakes goes earth is shaking from Dominique republic to Puerto Rico and West coast of USA.Also very important that Ukraine 737 was downed by terrorist regime of Iran. All Iran was under heavy drones watch. We again ask all IRGC, NAVY, BASSIJIS, AIR FORCE, ARMY please disobey Ayatoolahs and prison them until under democratic Iran we will trial them with respect. We ask Iranian youths do not give up since 15 millions population of Tehran barely less than one millions were most of them bus them inside to Tehran and Ahvaz, and KermanShah, Mahshahd . We ask world to know this is not PERSIA we have many heroes such as Cyrus the king of kings and many others. General Salami was not hero of Persians or Iran.
We are waiting USA with 1 million forces give us freedom. Death to Khamanie and all his generals. Trump for now closed the gate of hell, but gates of hell will reopen soon unless world unites against terrorist regime of Iran that all intelligence agencies of world knows Iran has 10 atom bombs? That is why Trump for now closed the gate of hell?

Organisers and activists have warned that immigration authorities in the United States detained and questioned at length dozens of individuals owing to their Iranian descent, a claim that Customs and Border Patrol dismissed as “false”.
Activists and the Washington, DC chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA) said immigration authorities detained and questioned at least 60 Iranians and Iranian-Americans over the weekend at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, Washington, DC. The watchdog group said some were held and questioned for at least 11 hours.

A US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson dismissed as “false” social media posts purporting that Iranian Americans were detained and refused entry because of their ethnic origins.
The spokesperson added that “reports that DHS/CBP has issued a related directive are also false”. The spokesperson was referring to allegations made by CAIR, who cited an unnamed source at CBP, that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a national order for CBP to report and detain individuals of Iranian origin entering the country who are deemed “adversarial”.
CAIR said one woman, identified as a 24-year-old American medical student named Crystal, was detained for 10 hours with her family before being released.
Crystal’s family reached out to the Iranian-American writer and community organiser Hoda Katebi, who then took the matter to CAIR-WA.
Katebi said by the time she was contacted by Crystal’s family, they were at the facility for five hours. “Other people were already there for eight to nine hours,” she said.
According to CBP, wait times at the Blaine facility were on average two hours on Saturday evening, but some travellers had to wait up to four hours due to an increased number of people trying to go through the port of entry and reduced staffing during the holiday season.
Citing individuals she spoke with and assisted, Katebi said the questions asked of those of Iranian origin had nothing to do with immigration.
“They were asked [about] specific organisations, and political factions in Iran and their affiliations with them or their views on them or groups that they never even heard of,” Katebi said the individuals she assisted said. She also said they were asked about their college majors. Katebi said she feared such questions were geared to “finding reasons to find an Iranian suspicious”.
Robert McCaw, CAIR government affairs director, said: “This is the type of scenario that CAIR monitors for after US foreign entanglement with Muslim countries”.
Tensions with Iran and the United States escalated dramatically last week after President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander, in Iraq. Iran has promised severe retaliation.
CBP said: “Based on the current threat environment, CBP is operating with an enhanced posture at its ports of entry to safeguard our national security and protect the America people while simultaneously protecting the civil rights and liberties of everyone.”
On Saturday, DHS said at this time “there is no specific, credible threat against the homeland”.
Several US politicians commented on the reports of detentions at the Washington, DC-Canada border, including Washington US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who said she was “deeply disturbed”.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee said on Twitter that his office is “closely tracking reports that Iranian Americans, including US citizens and lawful permanent residents, have been detained.” He urged anyone affected to contact his office. This is crazy indeed hassel American citizens loyal to USA. We work in NASA, NSA, DOD and many other positions in USA and Canada. This is not fair because of a General killed we discriminate people that we all need?
Iran when a person dies 1 day and 7 day and 40 days are very important in Islam sect of Iran.
Funerals in Islam (called جنازة “Janazah” in Arabic) follow fairly specific rites, though they are subject to regional interpretation and variation in custom. In all cases, however, sharia (Islamic religious law) calls for burial of the body as soon as possible, preceded by a simple ritual involving bathing and shrouding the body,[1] followed by salah (prayer). Burial is usually within 24 hours of death to protect the living from any sanitary issues, except in the case of a person killed in battle or when foul play is suspected; in those cases it is important to determine the cause of death before burial. Cremation of the body is strictly forbidden in Islam.[2][3] It should be mentioned that the rites of a burial is not constituted in the Qur’an.
Now 7 days after January of 3rd is Full Moon of January 2020 and everything is right in order.
I have predicted before with high accuracy on Jan 3 2020 if you go back my predictions clearly
i have stated. We hopeful that an earthquake of 8 or more on Bushehar nuclear facilities which had 5.1 and many quakes already last months may prevent us world war 3. We again on behalf of Iraqis and Iranian and all middle east and world we are so happy Bin Laden of Iran quisim Solimani the terrorist which raped many of Iranian women in prison and killed our youths. There is a joke going around is this when Quisim told many of Iranian youth if you die you will go to heaven and with 72 virgin ladies. Now he is dead he can not see it lol… Iranian already cyber attacked from Iran Parastoo Hackers are orphanages that terrorist regime give them shelters and now using them to attack USA and Israel and world. A top Iranian official and former top commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps issued a late midnight warning to President Donald Trump, promising that Tehran will bring Tel Aviv and Haifa to ashes if US dares to reciprocate Iran’s reprisal attack in vengeance for the assassination of IRGC’s anti-terrorism Commander General Qassem Soleimani.
“If the US takes any action after our military response, we will level Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground,” Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezayee said minutes into Monday.
I called my predictions before i said something. My predictions are good for from January 10 2020 till Feb 2 2020?
My prophecy for January 10 2020 full moon . Iran will attack USA forces and gulf countries including Israel with massive uranium war heads . Shieah sect of islam see this as Imam mahdi 12 imam will come out from unknown well in Iraq and Iran border line. This sect of Islam is very danger than Isis indeed. World war 3 is out of speed by full moon of January 10 2020 and if you live in big cities Chicago and Los Angeles SanFransisco Denver New York Philadelphia Houston and other big cities will be center of storms. Still we have fires burning hard in Australia and quakes will shake up planet for last time. I predict 6.0 to 8.0 in ring of fires. I also recommend buy groceries daily for restorations and water and daily fill up gas. Gas will go to 10 dollars or more invest in black gold you will be reach. Count down to world war 3 is started. We ask all IRGC IRANIAN NAVY AND ARMY AND AIR Force put your bombs and missile at ayatollahs are enemy of freedom and democracy.
