China has been engaged in economic warfare with the US for a long time. Of course, this was helped by America's elite selling out their own country for short term profits, but the majority of those affected were our poor and middle class. Their coverup of the virus should be a wake up call to all Americans, many of who are ignorant to what's going on. However, the media seems content to do China's bidding. Perhaps they recognize that the situation is so bad, that the US can no longer win or if they do, it would be at a tremendous cost. However, if there is a global recession, the rest of the world will fight back regardless of the media's race baiting.

The Chinese are in turn publicly questioning whether this virus was brought over to Wuhan by a visiting delegation of US military troops last year.

Reportedly, in October 2019 the city of Wuhan in China hosted the "Military World Games" (an Olympics-type or Ironman-type athletic competition for military-athletes representing different countries). The US delegation of military athletes flew over to Wuhan last September/October and took part in those Games. The Chinese foreign ministry are publicly raising the question whether those US troops brought the virus with them - knowingly or unknowingly.

[quote] Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called attention to a comment on Wednesday from Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, acknowledging that some Americans who were said to have died from influenza may have actually died from COVID-19.

[quote] "When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected?" Zhao wrote on Twitter. "What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!"

[quote] Dr. Zhong Nanshan, a leading Chinese epidemiologist, said in late February that "though the COVID-19 was first discovered in China, it does not mean that it originated from China." Zhao stressed the same point in a recent press briefing: "No conclusion has been reached yet on the origin of the virus," he told reporters, adding that "what we are experiencing now is a global phenomenon with its source still undetermined."

[quote] One popular coronavirus conspiracy theory that has emerged in China is that US military athletes participating in the Military World Games in Wuhan [held on 18-27 October, 2019] may have brought the virus into China."

So do people have an issue with "MERS" too? The virus was literally called "the MIDDLE EAST Respiratory Virus".

IIRC, it was named that back in 2012 during Obama's tenure. No one complained about publicly naming one of the deadliest mortality-rate viruses after the "Middle East". So was that racist? If not, then by that logic, why all the sudden pearl-clutching about calling the next coronavirus based on its first-known epicentre (which happens to be China).

Trump is only calling it "Chinese Virus" because "Yellow Fever" was already taken.

How do you know it "didn't happen", R63?

There were officially 10,000 visitors (participating military athletes) from all over the world flying in to Wuhan last September/October for those World Military Games (held on 18-27 October 2019). Immediately after that event, on 17 November, China detected the first local patient with Covid-19. Seems plausible that "patient zero" could have been one of those visitors.

It may not be a coincidence that Wuhan was stampeded by 10,000 visitors from across the globe (with various potential illnesses) and then immediately had an epidemic as a result.

Actually IIRC it was called Spanish Flu because the spanish media wasn’t censored as heavily as other western nations because Spain was neutral in World War One. So there was more reporting on the cases there and it appeared to the world to be more prominent as a result.

by Anonymousreply 97March 20, 2020 1:30 PM

The word "Spanish" doesn't denote a race in the U.S. but the word "Chinese" does. If we're talking about someone from Spain, we say "Spaniard" or "from Spain," and "Hispanic" or "Latino" if we're talking about the race.

I understand that those terms are very imprecise, but that's how they're used in the U.S., so when someone says "Chinese flu" they are, intentionally or not, bringing race into it in a way that "Spanish flu" doesn't.

No one is saying "China flu." That would be more about location than about the people and the race.

Blame China for what? They informed Trump in January and nothing was done. There was no CDC to take it and prepare because Trump thought they were just a couple of thousand people sitting around doing nothing. So once again, blame China for what?

For taking down his precious stock market!!! Trump needs the public to know that he was the entire reason the market went up, but CHY-NAH is the reason it's going down. Don't blame him!!! It's that CHINESE virus' fault!

Trump ignored his intel officers who warned him about the virus starting in January. He dismissed it as a Democratic hoax and has lied and given out false information every time he's spoken about it. That's not much different from the Chinese hiding the problem for six weeks. They're both grown from the same evil authoritarian root.

There is no equivalency.

This is a world wide epidemic. It was caused by the Chinese, not Trump.

The mess in Europe, Iran etc was not caused by Trump.

And all western countries acted too late when the warning signs were clear.

This isn't to let Trump off the hook, but no western leaders have done any better.

But if the Chinese had acted responsibly the WORLD would not be in the state it's in today over this virus.

Trump owns his response to the virus, which has been deadly and destructive to every level of the country. Nobody ever suggested that the idiot trump could have possibly had the intelligence, patience and skill to create a virus.

All these arguments about “what’s wrong with naming it after where it came from” would be legitimate if that were actually the name of the disease.

This disease already has a name. Instead of doing his job, he’s worrying about trying to change the name.

r8, no one is defending Communist China but idiotic people are blaming Chinese and Chinese-american people for a cover-up that the government of China attempted to do when the virus hit them. Should these people that have no say whatsoever in what the government of a country they don't live in be responsible. Is the president and his ilk so unaware that labeling it the Chinese virus reflects on a culture more than a Xi?

Why can't he call it the Corona virus or COVID 19, which originated in Wuhan, Chinnahh, if he must.

The downfall of the west—if not ameliorated FAST, will be that it’s citizens have grown complacent and comfortable, taking their freedoms, democracy, and the Liberal world order that the west has established for granted.

Newsflash: you stupid fags who take pleasure in defending oppressive, criminal regimes like Communist China and Iran will be singing a very different tune if the global world order is upended, which this CHINESE virus may very well end up doing.

The west should collectively be rallying together to fight the common enemy—China, the country that, through its corrupt government, lies, misinformation, propaganda, and geopolitical aspirations allowed this pandemic to happen.

This isn’t the time for your partisan bullshit. We are in a fucking pandemic, which could kill millions of Americans and all the mainstream media and treacherous, traitorous fools like those in this thread can do is play fucking woke politics. China doesn’t need US journalists in China, because plenty of liberal idiots in this country are parroting the same propaganda right out of the CCP.

Trump is incompetent, he ignored warnings, but he also stopped all flights to and from China in late January. This practice of restricting travel between the epicenter of a pandemic is of course only “racist” and “xenophobic” when non-Asian countries do this to China, as China now restricting flights from hard-hit Europe have received no such condemnations.

What you fucking imbeciles don’t understand is that China is a far greater threat to the future of this country, and every western country—than Trump ever could be. You just don’t get it. And won’t, until it’s too late.

Trump stopped the flights to the US WAY TOO LATE. He had been briefed about Covid much earlier and he spent the time ignoring it and blaming the Dems.

trump stopped the flights after it had already spread in the US. Then he refused offers of test kits from other countries that would have allowed to us see who had it and isolate them.

I had this disease in November, I know I did. I felt like I was going to die. First came aches & pains and I thought maybe I’d picked up Lyme disease when taking in my Halloween lighting. Then it was 3 days in bed when I couldn’t get out. Then it was a bad cough, chest pain & shortness of breath. I was really scared of the shortness of breath because I had to lie down after I walked up one flight of stairs. My husband too, though he wasn’t as bad as I was. I had an appt coming up with my blood specialist who listened to my chest & sent me to a pulmonologist. I saw the pulm & still had the cough though the shortness of breath wasn’t as bad by that time. He said my chest X-ray which I’d had 2 days previously was ok. He gave me a very expensive inhaler that cost Medicare $1700 for a 3 month supply, which along with my regular meds took half of the first part of my annual Medicare part D payments.

When I saw my dr in December I told her I’d been very sick & described my symptoms. I’d had the flu shot in early October. She said, “Well there’s more than one flu going around.” I reiterated that the shortness of breath was the scariest thing I’d ever had in any respiratory disease and I’d never had that with flu before. She was like, “Well you’re ok now.”

I’m in a high risk category. I have chronic high white blood count & have hypertension. My husband has asthma.

You know what’s strange? I can’t find dextromethorphan tablets anywhere. I can only find dextromethorphan & guaifenesin tablets. I can find dextromethorphan cough syrup without guaifenesin, but I can’t gag that stuff down. It would make sense to have tabs with just dextromethorphan , but big pharma doesn’t see the point. If you have a cough, as far as they’re concerned, you’re goddamned well going to get a tablet that produces mucus, like it or not.

He ignored it for weeks, and called it a Democrat hoax. As the supposed leader of the free world his word and actions carry a lot of weight even outside the US. He had a duty to take this onrushing pandemic seriously, as his own intelligence officers warned him. Instead Trump did the opposite and now we have 30% - 40% of the population who think this whole thing is a left-wing/Chinese conspiracy. Trump cost the US and the rest of the world precious time and caused who knows how many unnecessary deaths.
