It was on January 30, 2020, that WHO declared Covid-19 a global public health emergency. The novel coronavirus would end up killing nearly seven million people. Five years on, and with Donald Trump back in the White House,

Ex-CNN editor Chris Cilizza conceded on Monday that he "screwed up" in his assessment of the lab leak theory, suggesting that President Trump was likely right about COVID's origins.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would begin the process of removing the U.S. from the World Health Organization. Here's why.

The Central Intelligence Agency has shifted its official stance on the origin of Covid-19, saying Saturday that the virus was "more likely" leaked from a Chinese lab than transmitted by animals.

Huang Yanling was named as Patient Zero in early online reports shared widely throughout China in early 2020, when the magnitude of the deadly virus was first coming to light.

And they could grant the second Trump administration expansive authority to enforce border security and immigration laws.
