"answer": "On Jan. 15 2020, when the traveler to Wuhan who became the first known U.S. case returned to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, he took group transportation from the airport with other passengers, county officials have said. At the time, 41 people in Wuhan had been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, so named for the crownlike spikes that help them invade cells, and Chinese officials said the threat of human-to-human transmission was low. A CDC notice advised Americans who’d been in Wuhan and felt sick to seek care.\n\nOn Jan. 17, the U.S. began checks of passengers from Wuhan at airports in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.\n\nTwo days later, the recent arrival from Wuhan visited the urgent-care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington, and the intensive response began. In retrospect, it was already too late. Some researchers who’ve traced the viral genomes of patients around the world now believe someone else in the area picked it up between Jan. 15 and Jan. 19, before the traveler went to the hospital. He might have sneezed in the airport shuttle or on some surface—all but impossible for health workers to trace.\n\n“This virus is more contagious than the flu, so any sort of exposures before he got to the hospital would be certainly of high concern,” said George Diaz, who leads the infectious disease department at Providence, where the patient was treated.",

The 35-year-old had seen a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alert about the virus and decided to get checked. He put on a mask in the waiting room. After learning about his travel, the clinic drew blood and took nasal and throat swabs, and called state and county health officials, who hustled the sample onto an overnight flight to the CDC lab in Atlanta.

BCG is used in many countries with a high prevalence of TB to prevent childhood tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease. However, BCG is not generally recommended for use in the United States because of the low risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the variable effectiveness of the vaccine against adult pulmonary TB, and the vaccine’s potential interference with tuberculin skin test reactivity. The BCG vaccine should be considered only for very select persons who meet specific criteria and in consultation with a TB expert.",

A “colloid” is a liquid that evenly distributes certain particles within it.\n\nSome people take colloidal silver by mouth as a dietary supplement. Many internet-based sources claim that colloidal silver has a range of health benefits.\n\nHowever, there is little scientific evidence to support these claims, and ingesting silver may have mild to severe health consequences.",

"answer": "In the Federal Register of October 15,\n1996 (61 FR 53685), FDA published a\nproposed rule to declare that all OTC\ndrug products containing colloidal\nsilver ingredients or silver salts are not\ngenerally recognized as safe and\neffective, and are new drugs and\nmisbranded within the meaning of\nsection 201(p) of the Federal Food,\nDrug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21\nU.S.C. 321(p)). Colloidal silver is a\nsuspension of silver particles in a\ncolloidal base. In recent years, colloidal\nsilver preparations of unknown\nformulation have been appearing in\nretail outlets. These products are labeled\nfor numerous disease conditions, many\nof which are serious diseases. The\ndosage form of these colloidal silver\nproducts is usually oral, but product\nlabeling also contains directions for\ntopical and, occasionally, intravenous\nuse.\nFDA has not approved a new drug\napplication (NDA) for any colloidal\nsilver product. None of the silver salts\nevaluated as part of FDA’s OTC drug\nreview was found to be generally\nrecognized as safe and effective for its\nintended use(s). FDA is not aware of any\nsubstantial scientific evidence that\nsupports the use of OTC colloidal silver\ningredients or silver salts for disease\nconditions.",

It’s horseshit,” added Gen. Michael Hayden, via Twitter. Hayden served as director of the CIA from 2006 to Feb. 12, 2009, shortly after Obama took office.\n\nBen Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser to Obama, added his voice on Twitter as well: “Trump is lying. I was there for all 8 years. Obama never sought a meeting with Kim Jong Un. Foreign policy isn’t reality television it’s reality.”\n\nRhodes told CNN that Obama “never even considered” seeking a meeting with Kim. “There’s no mystery here: It’s just a lie with no supporting evidence and no basis in anything. It’s not even an exaggeration, it’s just not true.”\n\nAnd on CNN’s “State of the Union,” James Clapper, who served as director of national intelligence for most of Obama’s presidency, said he was puzzled by Trump’s claim. “In all the deliberations that I have participated in on North Korea during the Obama administration, I can recall no instance whatever where President Obama ever indicated any interest whatsoever in meeting with the — Chairman Kim,” Clapper said.\n\nWe reached out to the Trump press office, but it did not provide any further information.\n\nIt’s true that during a debate in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, Obama famously said that he would be willing to meet with leaders in North Korea and other enemy nations without any preconditions.",

Hunter Biden was paid $3 million plus $183,000 a month to be a board member of a company that a lot of people said was corrupt.
|
This claim does not have enough evidence. The QA pair only answers what supposed board Hunter Biden was part of. Corruption allegations in the claim are not examined further in the QA pairs. Therefore, there is not enough evidence for the claim.

By far, only 2 critical cases have been reported, of which one was a child of 7 months old with congenital heart disease. The other patient was 13 months old with bilateral hydronephrosis and calculus of left kidney. Both cases progressed rapidly to respiratory failure after onset, requiring support of invasive mechanical ventilation. It demonstrates that children with underlying diseases are tended to progress to severe and critical cases, so we should pay high attention to such group and strengthen supervision for them.",

We’ve gotten the highest poll numbers of anybody for handling a coronavirus outbreak.

The claim has been found to be refuted, as Trump was referring to a Gallup poll in which 77% of respondents said they were confident in the government’s ability to handle a coronavirus outbreak, which was higher than in the past four outbreaks. However, that poll was conducted in early February, before deaths and community spread in the United States were reported.

Temperatures higher than 56 degrees celsius
Ventilated air
Chlorine disinfectants
Alcohol 75%
Frequently washed hands
Strong human’s immunity system

The Treasury expects the UK economy to shrink by 4.9% under a Canada-style deal with the EU.
|
Evidence finds this to be incorrect. The economy would not shrink under a Canada-style deal.
The government’s analysis said that "in all scenarios, the economy would be expected to grow," albeit slower than if we had not left the EU.
The 4.9% is estimated from a hypothetical free-trade agreement (FTA) with the EU where we maintained tariff-free access but there were still non-tariff costs (such as regulatory barriers) that would cost the UK between 4.9% and 6.7% of GDP growth after 15 years.
