"Viruses come from China like shortstops come from the DR.

This isn't about vilifying a culture, it's about facts.

If they sell nuclear suitcases at these wet markets, would we be so non-judgemental?"

@billmaher hits one out of the park!

"The PC police say it's racist to attack any cultural practice that's not our own.

Liberalism lost its way when it started thinking like that.

If people say, what if others hear 'China virus' and blame China?"

"The answer is we should blame China. Not Chinese Americans. But we can't stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea.

There's always going to be idiots out there who are going to indulge their prejudices."

"Sorry you're going to have to keep 2 ideas in your head at the same time:

1. It has nothing to do with Asian Americans

2. But it has everything to do with China

We can't afford the luxury of non-judginess toward a country with habits that kill millions of people everywhere."

"China can do this. They're not like us, they can get shit done. They're a dictatorship.

But they can't close down the wet markets? They need to use that Iron Fist to pound it down as if the whole word depended on it.

Because it does."

(Although there's a non-zero chance that SARS-nCov2 didn't originate from the Huanan wholesale seafood market & that it was just a ruse to obscure the true origins

Regardless, hygiene standards of wet markets must be enforced or they should be banned. Along with wildlife trade.)
