The Virus
Yep, it originated in China. Right now the only legitimate complaint about the name of the virus could come from producers of Corona beer who have already lost more than $161 million in sales. While the leftist likes of an
U.S Rep. with Chinese Facebook account flaunt their allergy to facts and lament "
word xenophobia" , millions of people are paying the price for the newest "import". The confined human "mass" doesn't need to study Information Manipulation Theory (McCornack, 1992) to realize that "given information" provided them with a false perception of a deadly problem. Already in 2002 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) spread "unverified" to 37 countries. Ever since 2001,
WHO's disease outbreaks news from China juggled influenza A (H5N1) virus and SARS reports, not to mention alerts on "melamine-contaminated powdered infant formula", streptococcus suis (a swine pathogen that causes meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia and endocarditis) and polio virus.
Toxic "Goods"
Affiliates of Chinese business in the USA and Europe clearly do not worry about customer trust and believe in raiding retail spaces and bombarding shoppers with no matter how harmful (but cheap) products. It's not only about imposition of weird Chinese sizes and silly "translation" from Amazon: you could be
purchasing a radioactive drywall or an "all-American" lead tainted toy for your kid. With lack of well-deserved penalty for false "Made in the USA" labels we can expect more than "Only American Hockey Puck" to show its true Chinese colors. To add insult to the long list of "
unfair and deceptive acts" two California based manufacturers "forgot" to inform American soldiers and Veterans that funds from sales of deployment bags and other gear marketed for them (including American flag…) were feeding the dragon.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has already caused war-like civilian casualties and disruption to economic activity world-wide. Some will deliberate on "pardonable" negligence; those who run towards the danger long enough not to believe in coincidences will consider coercive diplomacy or a leak from Wuhan's lab. We are entering an era not only of hardship, but also of a great responsibility. Honorable leaders will have a duty of taking counsel from our
best military erudites, we the people will have the task of supporting leaders who want to bring production of our meds, clothes and food back home; the leaders willing to make America, and the world--safe again. In his tweet from the 7
th of April, 2020 President Trump rightly concluded "W.H.O really blew it".
And yep, I do hope that "We will be giving that a good look". And nope, I do not hate Chinese people; as a matter of fact I think that Dr. Li Wenliang deserves Nobel Prize more than a toxic politician.
What do you think "folks"? Who feeds the dragon?
