...over the coronavirus

Terrified dogs and cats crammed into rusty cages. Bats and scorpions offered for sale as traditional medicine. Rabbits and ducks slaughtered and skinned side by side on a stone floor covered with blood, filth, and animal remains.

Those were the deeply troubling scenes yesterday as China celebrated its 'victory' over the coronavirus by reopening squalid meat markets of the type that started the pandemic three months ago, with no apparent attempt to raise hygiene standards to prevent a future outbreak.

As the pandemic that began in Wuhan forced countries worldwide to go into lockdown, a Mail on Sunday correspondent yesterday watched as thousands of customers flocked to a sprawling indoor market in Guilin, south-west China.

Move the supply lines out. Isolate China as long as it's ruled by a communist regime.

Never forget what happened.

We agree on something! Although I don't care whether or not it's communist. We need to produce the things we consume and some things for the rest of the world to consume.

But that probably means I'll only be able to buy 1 pair of plastic shoes instead of 9.

But what will Ivanka do with her 18 Chinese trademarks she bought in 2018 ???? Trademarks for sausage casings, voting machines, nursing homes...she can't let them all go to waste!

And yet Trump's the first President in decades to actually stand up to China and seek to reevaluate our trade relationship with them. How about that? Kudos, President Trump.

Tell that to the bankrupt farmers across America, as well as those who've been on welfare for the first time in their lives just to survive. I'm sure they're thrilled with that news.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Sure - your invaluable opinion. We'll go with that - if you say it, it must be true!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

As opposed to your own worthless opinion? How about farmers' opinions?

"According to the latest Farm Journal Pulse Poll, which featured responses from 1,286 farmers, President Trump received an approval rating of 83 percent, a point higher than the previous poll. Only 18 percent disapprove of President Trump."

Sorry - not going with any shit you post from Breitbart. You're really nuts if you think anyone but yourself would trust them as a reference.

Thanks for playing!

[–] krl97a (5619) 4 years ago

Breitbart (which is a more reliable outfit than the NY Times or NBC) didn't conduct the poll, you dumb clown. The poll was conducted by Farm Journal, the most prominent agricultural trade publication in the country. You might know that if you gave a damn about farmers, or you had actually read the post you replied to.

Does your search engine not work? Because you also could have easily found the poll covered by other outfits, like the Wall Street Journal...

...if you bothered to try, rather than needing spoonfeeding from me.

[–] Satan2016 (23535) 4 years ago

Keep your head up your ass then. Breitbart usually has references, your posts don't!

[–] Rorikon (16456) 4 years ago

Yep. Why I think it's man-made and created by China. It's not if China will ever learn, it's will the rest of the world ever learn? They still do business with China and teach them to be better than the west in other areas besides their government, appetites and a few others.

Expect to see more Chinese/China viruses in the near future.

Make China pay the world for this.

Make Mexico pay for the Wall. Pretty simple, really.

Lisa Ling says blaming China for coronavirus outbreak 'isn't going to do us any good'

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lisa-ling-blaming-china-coronavirus-outbreak-isnt-going-to-do-us-good-204510517.html

Lisa Ling returned to The View on Friday and stirred up a discussion with her thoughts on who the United States should be asking for help managing the coronavirus outbreak.

Ling slammed those who have publicly blamed China and instead called for a partnership.

“We could sit here and blame China until we’re blue in the face, but how is that going to help us right now?” asked Ling.

She continued, “If anything, we should be asking China for help. They have reported no new cases of coronavirus. We should be saying, ‘OK, how can you help us now because we are now the epicenter of the world.”

Ling has been openly critical of President Trump’s response to the outbreak on Twitter and his decision to call COVID-19 the “China Virus.”

I wish Trump would shut down the "wet market" in my local Home Depot parking lot.
