Q: Paragraph: The Alaska Section of Epidemiology said in an update this week that it has requested help with response efforts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, KTVA-TV reported Wednesday. The number of cases is the highest reported in the state since at least the 1970s, said Susan Jones, a program manager with the state Division of Public Health. "It actually can be before that but that's as far back as we have saved data," Jones said. Out of the 75 cases, 64 occurred in Anchorage and 66 were men, according to the state. Of the nine women, two were pregnant at the time of diagnosis. The ages of people infected ranged from 18 to 76, with 20 cases recorded in the 25 to 29 age group. Health officials also found a probable case of congenital syphilis in an infant born in March whose mother had been diagnosed last year. Symptoms of the sexually transmitted infection in its early stages include genital sores, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, and fever, according to the CDC. The disease in the tertiary stage can damage internal organs and result in death. According to the CDC, most people with untreated syphilis do not develop symptoms of the last stage, but tertiary syphilis could develop decades after infection. "It's easy to acquire syphilis by having sex with somebody with infection, it's easy to have the disease and not be aware of it, and it's also easy to treat if we catch it early," Jones said. Syphilis can be treated with an antibiotic injection. ___ Information from: KTVA-TV, http://www.ktva.com Claim: Alaska hit with largest syphilis outbreak in 40 years.

A: Alaska health officials have recorded 75 cases of syphilis in the state this year, marking the largest outbreak of the infectious disease in at least four decades.

Q: Paragraph: The airline had earlier said only cabin crew operating mainland China flights could wear masks, in response to the airline's flight attendants calling for permission to wear masks on all flights globally as cases have also been confirmed in the United States, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. "Due to the evolving information from health authorities, we will allow crew members and frontline airport employees to wear surgical face masks when on duty at their discretion," Cathay said in a statement. The coronavirus outbreak, which began in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, struck as millions of Chinese prepared to travel for the Lunar New Year, heightening contagion risks. Wuhan's local government said it would close all urban transport networks and suspend outgoing flights from the city as of 10 a.m. on Thursday (0200 GMT), state media reported, adding that the government said citizens should not leave the city unless there were special circumstances. The Cathay Pacific Airways Flight Attendants Union said on Tuesday it had received a "tremendous" amount of emails and messages from members concerned over catching the virus given they are exposed to over 300 passengers from numerous places on a single flight. On Wednesday evening, Cathay said on its website that rebooking, rerouting and refund charges would be waived for all tickets booked on or before Jan. 21, arriving to or departing from Wuhan through March 31, an extension from the Feb. 15 date listed the prior evening. Deaths from China's new flu-like virus rose to 17 on Wednesday, with more than 540 cases confirmed. The virus has already spread beyond Wuhan to population centers including Beijing, Shanghai, Macau and Hong Kong. Cathay said that as required by the Hong Kong health authorities, it was distributing health declaration forms and will be making face masks and antiseptic wipes available at the boarding gate to passengers traveling from Wuhan to Hong Kong. "Our frontline staff are reminded to maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, and to remain alert and vigilant while being on the lookout for passengers presenting with infectious disease symptoms," the airline said. Cathay has already been hit by plummeting demand as a result of anti-government protests in Hong Kong, leading it to cut capacity and defer the delivery of four planes. Shares in Cathay have fallen by 10% since the start of January as the virus spread. Jefferies analysts said shares in Cathay and mainland Chinese carriers could remain under pressure for some time if the coronavirus situation paralleled the 2003 SARS outbreak and cases continued to increase. That coronavirus outbreak killed nearly 800 people. Claim: Cathay to let crew wear masks on all flights due to new coronavirus.

A: Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd (0293.HK) will allow all crew members and frontline employees to wear surgical masks due to concerns over a new coronavirus, and said passengers to and from Wuhan, China, could change or cancel flights for free through March 31.

Q: Paragraph: On August 5 2020, a quote meme was shared to Imgur referencing an Axios interview which August 3 2020, and it quoted United States President Donald Trump as saying that when he "took over we didn't even have a test" for COVID-19:Cart Before The HorseThe meme showed Trump sitting on the left and interviewer Jonathan Swan on the right side. Both men had speech bubbles, which read:Trump: When I took over, we didn't even have a test. Swan: Why would you have a test? The virus didn't exist.In the body of the Imgur post, the poster added, "This is an actual quote."The Axios InterviewPortions of an interview of Trump, conducted by Swan and produced by Axios, went viral after it initially aired on August 3 2020. In a description, Axios explained:In this episode of "Axios on HBO", President Trump discusses his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the upcoming election and much more with National Political Correspondent Jonathan Swan.The interview was filmed on July 28 2020 and clocked in at just under 38 minutes.The TranscriptOn August 3 2020, Rev.com published a full transcript of the Axios interview.According to the transcript's timestamps, the exchange began just before the 12-minute mark, when Swan says he wants "to talk about the federal intervention." Leading up to that moment, Trump and Swan discussed coronavirus testing.After Swan brings up "federal intervention," Trump goes back to the topic of testing, maintaining once again that the United States' COVID-19 case rate is only high because "we test so much." In response, Swan says he's aware Trump has made such claims before:Jonathan Swan: (11:37) Mr. President, I want to talk about the federal intervention.President Donald J. Trump: (11:40) Excuse me. One thing I would say about testing.Jonathan Swan: (11:42) Yeah. Yeah.President Donald J. Trump: (11:43) Because we test so much, we show cases. So, we show many, many cases. We show tremendous number of cases. I know you're smiling when I say that, but I'm telling you.Jonathan Swan: (11:52) Well, I mean, I've heard you say this.President Donald J. Trump: (11:54) I know. Other countries don't test like we do. So, they don't show case[s].Jonathan Swan: (11:58) Just a couple points on that. I wasn't going to continue on the testing, but you said it. So, we're testing so much because it's spread so far in America. And, when you-President Donald J. Trump: (12:06) We're testing so much because we had the ability to test.Jonathan Swan: (12:08) Okay.From there, Trump continues advancing his claims about testing. At that point, the exchange in the meme takes place:President Donald J. Trump: (12:09) Because we came up with test-Jonathan Swan: (12:10) But South Korea-President Donald J. Trump: (12:11) Jonathan, we didn't even have a test. When I took over, we didn't even have a test. Now, in all fairness-Jonathan Swan: (12:17) Why would you have a test?President Donald J. Trump: (12:21) There was no test for this-Jonathan Swan: (12:23) The virus didn't exist.President Donald J. Trump: (12:23) Excuse me. I was going to say-Jonathan Swan: (12:23) Okay.President Donald J. Trump: (12:23) There was no test for this. We didn't have a test because there was no test.Jonathan Swan: (12:26) Of course.President Donald J. Trump: (12:27) And, in a very short order, we got one test. We got another test.Jonathan Swan: (12:30) It was broken, the first one.President Donald J. Trump: (12:31) We got another. Many of those tests are now obsolete because it's called science.Jonathan Swan: (12:34) Right.President Donald J. Trump: (12:34) And, all of a sudden, something is better. But, because we tested so many people, 55, 60 million people, very soon, we get cases. You test. Some kid has even just a little runny nose. It's a case. And then, you report many cases. So, we look like we have more cases than massive countries like China, which by the way, doesn't report, as you know.Video of the exchange is embedded on Axios' site; the exchange roughly matches the timestamps in the transcript.'The Virus Didn't Exist'In the exchange, Trump references when he "took over" in January 2017, as he refers to his inauguration as president. Swan responds that the virus didn't exist when Trump "took over," which is true.The World Health Organization's COVID-19 timeline begins on December 31 2019, with the identification of "pneumonia of unknown cause" identified in Wuhan, China:Pneumonia of unknown cause reported to WHO China Office31 December 2019At the close of 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of a pneumonia of unknown cause, detected in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China. According to the authorities, some patients were operating dealers or vendors in the Huanan Seafood market.Staying in close contact with national authorities, WHO began monitoring the situation and requested further information on the laboratory tests performed and the different diagnoses considered.#China has reported to WHO a cluster of #pneumonia cases with no deaths in Wuhan, Hubei Province 🇨🇳 . Investigations are underway to identify the cause of this illness. World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) January 4, 2020That information was relayed in a January 5 2020 WHO update:On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. As of 3 January 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology have been reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. Of the 44 cases reported, 11 are severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients are in stable condition. According to media reports, the concerned market in Wuhan was closed on 1 January 2020 for environmental sanitation and disinfection.The causal agent has not yet been identified or confirmed. On 1 January 2020, WHO requested further information from national authorities to assess the risk.National authorities report that all patients are isolated and receiving treatment in Wuhan medical institutions. The clinical signs and symptoms are mainly fever, with a few patients having difficulty in breathing, and chest radiographs showing invasive lesions of both lungs.At that point, the WHO's risk assessment was based on limited information on a small cluster of cases:There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster of pneumonia of unknown etiology. The reported link to a wholesale fish and live animal market could indicate an exposure link to animals. The symptoms reported among the patients are common to several respiratory diseases, and pneumonia is common in the winter season; however, the occurrence of 44 cases of pneumonia requiring hospitalization clustered in space and time should be handled prudently.On January 11 and 12 2020, the World Health Organization reported that China shared "the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus, which will be very important for other countries as they develop specific diagnostic kits." At the time, testing was not yet developed or scaled to a global level.On January 24 2020, research was used to diagnose Malaysia's first documented case of COVID-19:Scientists from China first released information on the viral genome on 11 January 2020. That day the Malaysian Institute for Medical Research (IMR) produced "primers and probes" specific to a SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test. The IMR's materials were used to diagnose Malaysia's first patient on 24 January [2020]. BGI Group was one of the first companies to receive emergency use approval from China's National Medical Products Administration for a nucleic acid test.In short, SARS-CoV-2 was first reported on December 31 2019, China released sequencing information on January 11 2020, and Malaysia documented testing occurred on January 24 2020. All of these events occurred sequentially following Donald Trump assuming office in January 2017, three years before.SummaryA popular Imgur post purporting to be a "real quote" from an Axios interview, in which Trump says "when I took over, we didn't even have a test" for COVID-19 is accurate, based on the video and transcript of the July 28 2020 segment. Trump turned the discussion back to testing, and claimed that no test existed when he "took over." Swan responded by asking why such a test would exist if the virus did not.Comments Claim: "In an interview that aired August 3 2020, President Trump said ""when I took over, we didn't even have a test"" for COVID-19."
