Everything we pick up is Made In China. That's because we have become accustomed to dirt cheap products that cannot be economically made in North America. The Chinese manufacturing situation is one of our own making

This thread is racist. I didn't watch the video, but I assume its racist too. Everybody wants to blame the yellow man, but no one is there to lend him a hand (insert another rhyme to complete my protest song later)...
My two cents anyway.
Shame on all of you.
Also, if you read my post , you guessed it. You're racist.

Agreed. Anyone who blames the Chinese for "All the new diseases that keep appearing there" is obviously not well versed in epidemiology. First and foremost, there's more diseases that emerge from China compared to smaller nations simply because they have a larger population. If your country contains 1/6th of the world's population, then there's obviously going to be more diseases that originate in your country simply because you have more people. Over the last 200 years, if you control for population size, then there's not been significantly more diseases that began in China compared to the rest of the world. Second, eating ANY mammal poses a risk for transmitting a previously non-human disease to humans via mutation of said disease. Wild and/or exotic animals are no more likely to pose a transmission risk than domesticated animals. In fact, domesticated animals are MORE likely to be disease vectors, particularly in America, due to the filthy conditions they're raised in. Until your entire country goes vegan, you have no right to point fingers at China and say "It's their fault because they eat <insert exotic-to-us animal here> instead of eating <insert animal that we have deemed acceptable to murder and consume here>!" Third, and perhaps most important, anyone of European descent blaming another race for bringing disease to their country is a quintessential example of the pot calling the kettle black. European colonization of North America, South America, Africa, and Asia from the 15th to the 19th centuries brought myriad exotic diseases to the locals and, in almost every instance, completely decimated the native populations of the colonized areas. In South America alone, European colonization during the 15th and 16th centuries is estimated to have killed between 100 and 150 million natives, or 90-95% of the indigenous population at the time. The tl;dr: Stop being racist. Instead, be well informed and compassionate.

Doesn’t help things when that phuk-wit dickhead of a president across the pond refers to covid-19 as ‘the Chinese virus’ like he did on Twatter (sic) and also at the start of his press conference an hour or so ago. What an utter cock that man really is.

What an utter cock that man really is. America's reaction to a far-away disease that is not currently affecting them: "Well, it's all part of God's plan. Best to just let it run its course." America's reaction to said disease as soon as it begins adversely affecting them: "IT'S CHINA'S FAULT FOR EATING BATS!" "IT'S EUROPE'S FAULT FOR BEING LAZY!" "IT'S THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT FOR... BEING DEMOCRAT!"

One time my dad sneezed in my general direction without covering his mouth and I caught his cold.
I hated Hispanic people for a full week, maybe even week and a half after that.
It made things awkward in my family, but things eventually corrected themselves.

One time I was in a crowed place and an old white man "accidentally" stepped on my shoe. Scuffed it up so bad . All he did was pat me on the shoulder and walk away. I got so angry I started yelling "Kill Whitey, Kill Whitey!!".
Next thing I know everyone else in the room started to chant along with me. It was like an epic scene from a movie.
I felt justified and pretty good about how things went down.
That is until the Pastor called me the next day and asked that I never step foot on church grounds again.
Kept saying something about a "restraining order" or something like that.
It made things awkward between me my community for a while, but things eventually corrected themselves.

I don't have a problem when Trump calls a duck a duck, especially when said duck and their propaganda machine is openly blaming our military for taking the virus to them.
So now we're depending a communist dictatorship country, with their human rights record, over our own?
We've been in bed with China way too long and now they're like a bedbug to our society we can't eradicate.
It's time we start thinking about what in the way of production and manufacturing that needs to be brought back to this side of the Pacific.

It's time we start thinking about what in the way of production and manufacturing that needs to be brought back to this side of the Pacific. Granted, blaming the US Army is a bit of a stupid move.
But before we go pointing fingers it's time to have a retrospective look at ourselves...Flint Michigan, Love Canal, etc., etc. and what will be the outcome of reversing the amount of pollutants industry can now dump in rivers, lakes and streams! It will all get into the water system that we drink from. Every week, it seems, there are reports of e coli in our food sources and they are local. This happens because of the same kind of mismanagement that lead to the COVID-19 outbreak.
No; we are no less blameless than any other country with a bureaucracy that is intent on saving face and/or profiting from it's power.
We have to accept that this is human behaviour and stop attaching racist connotations to this stuff

No you don't. You have been a generous friend to many of us. You don't do that if you're a hateful bigot
