Generally true. Unleashing a pathogen on others as a weapon should be met with resistance.

Think what evil brew is in the laboratory formula books. For next time.

If they had been up front about the virus from the beginning, and asked for the help of the WHO and CDC when they first discovered it, and if the brave doctor who blew the whistle was still alive, I might be in full agreement with you.

In other words, if China had done everything it could have to contain the virus, from the very beginning, and it got out anyway, then they would be blameless. But that isn’t the case.

Since Brexit, it is no longer part of the Schengen Area.

Yes that was strange that the UK was excluded since they also have cases. I guess this is no longer left wing hype as he stated a little over a week ago.

Not much. Yes, people can lie and some probably will. I have heard of people lying about where they were in Asia and returned to the US through Hawaii. I think that sucks and is selfish to put people's lives at risk.

But most people are decent and will do the right thing.

“Shh. Don’t say that. Reality is offensive to some people.”



Typical Leftist response is to avoid holding anyone responsible for anything.....

Unless it's Trump or a Republican/Conservative.

If a deadly tick disease can be named after a town in Connecticut, this virus can be named after it's place of origin.

Tucker Carlson ran a segment last night running clip after clip of CNN loons calling it "China Virus" or "Wuhan Virus". Now they have a problem? Because their communist masters from China have told them not to call it that anymore, that's why.


These poisonous cultural marxists are America's worst enemies from within. They do love communism and China more than they love America.
