China might be lying about the coronavirus. China is a dictatorship, so of course they are dishonest about everything that makes them look bad.

Important developments in the pandemic.

And while many researchers who study animal-borne viruses say natural exposure is more likely, it has not been ruled out that the virus may have accidentally been released from a laboratory. This a fine line to follow: It's too early to dismiss the lab hypothesis as a conspiracy theory. But that doesn't mean the media's skeptical, early coverage was wrong. As reporter Aaron Blake notes, when Donald Trump claimed to be confident that the virus came from a lab, the president never offered evidence to back those claims up. Infectious-disease experts such as Anthony S. Fauci recently called for further examination. This timeline, from The Post's Fact Checker, highlights some of the key developments so far in the attempt to find this virus's origin. These kinds of investigations aren't simple — it took more than a dozen years to discover the natural source, in bats, of the first SARS virus. Meanwhile, investigators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are studying a handful of cases of heart muscle inflammation in young people after vaccination. These events have not been affirmatively connected to injections. A CDC spokesman said that the cases “appear to be mild and often go away without requiring treatment.” Vaccine maker Moderna will seek authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to allow teenagers 12 to 17 to get the shots. Clinical trial data show that the vaccine reached 93 percent efficacy after the first dose. And teens had similar levels of antibodies as adults. The Biden administration is planning to allow more federal employees to continue working from home post-pandemic, if their job permits. “We anticipate this guidance will leave room for decision-making at departments and agencies, to provide maximum flexibility for defining work requirements to meet mission and workforce needs,” a senior administration official told The Post. An update from the administration explaining the policy is expected in June.

Patients in India need care so desperately they're seeking help over the Internet from U.S. doctors, such as this intensive care physician in Missouri. Bystanders fearful of the coronavirus stopped giving CPR last year. But D.C. fire officials want to assure people the odds of saving a life through CPR are vastly higher than the odds of catching the virus.
