You would infect your own parents with the virus if you though it would hurt Trump. Your opinion means nothing.

Yet here you are.

Eta: See- it is all a big conspiracy against the guy in the White House.

Well they do parrot talking points of the Chinese government. One of which was the banning of the use of Chinese virus/wuhan Coronavirus that CNN etc were themselves using a few months ago

---

So showing a little fricking decency makes them "a fan"?

There is one reason, and one reason only, to insist on calling it the Chinese/Wuhan virus long after it has received an official name, and that is to politicize it. To use it as a weapon in the game of politics.

Now don't strain yourself here, but try to remember who has been accusing who of using this pandemic for political gain, and then realize who is actually using this pandemic for political gain.

And once you figure it out, remember that shite.

Sorry, this is bullshite. I am no Trump supporter, think he's doing a terrible job on this, am scared to death where this is going, and fully support my own (Democratic) governor's early shelter-in-place implementation, but if you don't think the CCP has been politicizing this from go, then you have your fricking head up your arse. Trump and his team are incompetent; the CCP are evil.

I'll call it what it should be called - the Wuhan coronavirus. Don't give a pass to a barbaric regime that levered pressure on the WHO to re-name it, covered up H2H transmission up through mid-January, welded their own citizens into their homes, tolerated barbaric practices two decades after another coronavirus nearly did the same thing, and has no problem seeing the U.S. fail and falter so they can step into the void. They seem pretty goddamn comfortable to me spreading wildly egregious disinformation among their own people about where and how this all started, but let's not pay attention to that. Why were all the developed countries on China's periphery so much better in addressing this than European and North American countries? Because they've been living next to that disease-ridden, pandemic-starting, semi-barbaric beast for thousands of years. Don't give them one fricking ounce of pass on this.

So you want to be like China. Ok, just as long as you recognize that's what you want to be.

How exactly is that being like China? It is an accurate and cohesive description.

quote:

---

Declining to stir up more hate in the world is NOT the same as giving China a pass for all the shite they do. China should, and will, pay for all the despicable shite they've been doing. The lying to their own people and the world, the brainwashing, the human rights violations, the straight-up murder of thousands to millions of people, and god knows what else.

---

Unfortunately, the world isn't fairies and rainbow farts. How are they going to pay a price? What will be the mechanisms? How bad will the punishment be?

quote:

---

Such a regime has no place in today's world, and maybe this pandemic will kickstart their downfall. And that wouldn't bother me at all. I'd be happy to see the Chinese people freed from that bull shite.

---

Yea, fat chance. Nice Whiggish view of history while we're at it. "No place in today's world" - they seem to be doing pretty damn well in today's world. I bet you like to use "the wrong side of history" in casual conversation.

quote:

---

But counterproductive to that end is drumming up racial hatred by labeling the pandemic after them. Doing so just gives that regime more fuel to keep going. It's just bulletin board material for them to feed their enslaved people, convincing them that the world is against them and they need their protection.

---

Wuhan is a race? Chinese is a race? For starters, be more accurate in your terminology.

You know what adds fuel to the fire? Ignoring fricking problems until they're right at your doorstep. Be accurate and concise in your terminology. This started because aspects of - and large territories within - Chinese society are semi-barbaric even after forty years of rapid development, and the Chinese government helped cover it up, and most of the country is perfectly fine with their regime. Don't shy away from it.

Why are you so hostile this morning?

This virus is viscous & once it takes hold (steeper slope) in a city or town, it chews its way through the inhabitants. The delays by this administration are unforgivable & criminal. The leadership was absent after a few cancelled flights. Poor America. #TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Predictable lib reply is predictable.

And while you and Trump bitch about the media people will continue to drop like flies.

So, in your mind, Trump has done nothing but tweet at the Wuhan flu?

Interdasting...

Why hasn’t NYC shut down subway systems?
