[s]What
is reckless about it? There is incontrovertible evidence that the Chinese government knew what was going on and tried to suppress the information. Arrested the doctor who warned about it and made him sign a statement that he was spreading a hoax. Now we know better.

Do we even know if the doctor was killed by the Chinese government to silence him forever?[/s]

That’s the reason why he has so many people opposing him, inside his own country and in the world, he is against the order, no pandering, no trying to be correct politically, no sloth saying, hence the reason why his base is so strong in America, even stronger than when he got elected. Politicians in America that are soft and try to be correct politically have done nothing but sold the US out for decades.

About 12 ambassadors from China to African countries has gone along with the propaganda that the US is responsible, all you have to do is check the twitter account of ambassador to countries like Cameroon, chad etc. the spokesman for the Chinese foreign affairs ministry was the first person to start the propaganda on twitter, the Chinese ambassador to US was summoned by the state department for that and sadly the Lefty leaning US media is in bed on that propaganda cos they’ve been piloting it not denouncing China

[s]Lassa fever originated from Lassa, a town in Borno State, Nigeria. The fever was named Lassa fever with respect to its place of origin. Trump is simply doing what WHO should have done. They did the same with Zika virus, with Ebola and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which originated in Saudi Arabia in 2012. But, Trump as we know him, doesn't give a shit.

Whether Chinese or Wuhan virus, it still originated from China. After watching Contagion (2011), everything that played out in that movie is over 90% similar to what the world is experiencing with COVID-19. The way the team from Hong Kong abducted the WHO official after she traced the index patient to their territory shows the subdue tactics that the Chinese government used to prevent information from leaking that they are responsible for the virus. Most Asians and Africans have unsanitary food preparation habits. But the Asians, because of their population, have the largest practice in volume.

Why would Jack Ma send medical supplies of such magnitude to the US, Europe and Africa to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic? I think it's because of the Chinese government's culpability in the spread of COVID-19, and he's trying to deflect the entire blame that China deserves.

Meanwhile, this Mexican beer has suffered sales[/s].

There is a difference between naming a virus (by a body such as WHO) after a place (geographic location) and naming one after an entire race, especially at a time like this.

Did you attack Spanish Americans, Africans, or those from the Middle East, do you know MERS is a respiratory syndrome that originated from the Middle East. Asians is collective as China is just one of the Asian countries so there’s a different distinction as to why it should be called the Chinese corona virus. It cannot be called the Asian virus because that would be actual racial profiling.

It originated from Africa,go do a simple search.

I have sir... And I will continue to seriously beg to differ!!! grin

Even then, it won't affect or offend me if anyone called it African Virus. Life is just too short to take offence at everything.

How often do you take offence when terms like Ebola, Lassa Fever, and Spanish Flu are freely used, even in elite and international circles??!...

Abeg tell your darling Trump to ensure sufficient test kits are available so the millions can get tested.

Stupid distractions at this point will not cut it, thanks.

It's as if the FG intend to tackle it at point of entry or maybe if we close our borders entirely, we might end up on Recession menu again. Thus, the opening of our border to Iran is not safe at all, as the COVID19 seems to be enjoying itself with great pleasure there, and the Iran govt. are not so active as they periodically give us update on increased incidents. While, the other nations seems to be faring well with declining updates.

Trump as been calling out China for over 30years, go on YouTube and watch some of his interviews from way back with the same media that are against him now when they all loved him and a lot of blacks wanted to be like trump. He’s not an elite, even in New York of all places, he knows a lot of rich people but they don’t like hanging out with him that much, it was reported that he doesn’t sound like an elite to them, he speaks to them in all sort of manners like thy are no more than the regular Americans. And it’s a known fact that trump spends a lot of time with working class Americans in New York, the cab drivers, construction workers, diners and a lot of them. That’s one of many reason it was easy for him to relate with the blue collar workers across the country, he understand the language in which they talk.

After all there is a virus called the "Spanish Flu" it's not bad calling it the Chinese Virus.
