You use the term 'Chicom virus' as a pejorative - to try to attach some sort of blame for the virus itself. "chicom" is the pejorative. In case you hadn't noticed, 'virus' is not what makes the term pejorative.
The virus exists because it evolved.
https://www.scripps.edu/news-and-eve...ronavirus.html
And it evolved well enough to spread 2 to 3x as easily as the Flu. It wasn't going to be contained, and neither was Trump going to do anything about it before it became a disaster because the only thing you can do about it is shut down travel and practice social distancing which is a real bummer for the economy. Trump had months to react even with the Chinese failures. And he did one thing during that time: close down travel from China. The equivalent of tossing a glass of water on a bonfire.
Blaming china is a diversion aimed at firing up his base and keeping them from noticing he is the one to blame for what we face right now.
I forgot just how much of an apologist you've become for a brutal dictatorship responsible for slaughtering tens of millions of their own people.
The indisputable fact is that their behavior at the beginning of this pandemic was horrific and often deliberately so.
For the first six weeks they intentionally concealed what was going on, destroying evidence like lab samples and tests in order to continue hiding it. They suppressed and punished those who were telling the truth about what was happening. Dr. Li Wenliang, the Chinese whistleblower[1] who tried to issue the first warning about the coronavirus, was arrested and placed under house arrest and then died -- supposedly of the disease. The Chinese government also claims his colleague Mei Zhongming, who also spoke out, has also died, again supposedly of it as well.
Anyone else who spoke out and criticized how the government responded has been "disappeared" and likely won't be heard from again.
Further, they refused outside assistance and wouldn't share the virus so it could be studied not to mention lied to the WHO saying it wasn't transmitted person to person so that they could still travel all over the world free to spread it. That was how it got to Italy so fast.
And since then they've tried to shift blame for what happened by proclaiming that it was the U.S. military that spread it in China.
These weren't mistakes. These were maliciously deliberate. This pandemic is dramatically worse due to the Chinese government's behavior. Anyone who mentions any of this outside the country gets branded as being a xenophobe and racist by the Chicoms and their stooges here[2]. The Chinese communist government (i.e., Chicoms) was and is still far concerned about their image and maintaining an iron grip on China than fighting this deadly disease. It is all about Xi maintaining power and everyone else be damned.
But continue kowtowing to their demands of disassociating them from the coronavirus because after all... orange man bad and it's all his fault.
1. An actual whistleblower, not someone spreading gossip he heard second or third hand.
2. The Chicoms first started screaming racism and xenophobia when Trump stopped travel from China to the U.S. and their allies here immediately started parroting that line even though Fauci has said that "If we had not done that, we would have had many, many more cases right here that we would have to be dealing with."Last edited by rogue06; 03-25-2020, 04:04 PM.

I am for the truth. And I will not acknowledge a lie even if it is about something as evil as the Chinese governmental system. They did not cause this virus, and it is very unlikely that their actions could have contained it. Further, an equally bad set of deceptions and mistakes have been engaged in by our own government, though they are of a much different character. We aren't letting Doctors that blow the whistle die or herding people with drones, but our government leaders have risked the lives of millions of Americans on their re-election hopes.
What the Chinese government does (appear) to have done is ACT once it was clear it could not be contained. Which is a good bit more than I can say for our own federal government leaders (Not that I would want trump to act completely as they acted). But at least they took action and in the end (appear) to have contained it.
S. Korea HAS contained it using a similar set of actions adopted to the realities of a free and democratic state.
The key difference for both is not sitting on their hands listening to idiot conspiracy theories and pretending there is some reason to think this will just go away!
Unfortunately, we are still playing stupid political games and trying to cast the blame for our own mistakes on other nations.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYep, and there are numerous protocols and procedures in place across a number of agencies for responding to situations like this. Disbanding one small part of one agency didn't impact America's ability to deal with this situation, and Trump was among the first world leaders to take action when he banned travel to and from China in late January, a decision which Democrats and liberals condemned as racist.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postand if they are infected they are spreading all the way there, every time they stop for food, ask for direction, stop to go to the bathroom or get gas. And they have no where to actually stay once they get there. Do you expect them to sleep in their car? They would have to go to a hotel, exposing the hotel staff, and they would have to venture out to get food and supplies. People aren't going to go to some place distant and self-isolate. Nice concept but if they are scared enough to run, they won't care who they expose.
The trip from NYC is about five hours with the road clear, so there is no need to do anything other than stop for gas, which can be done safely with reasonable precautions. Obviously, if they do not have a destination, they are not one of the people I am referencing.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Or
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the NIH, who said, "we worked really well with that office, it would be nice if it were still there."
