China needs a big slap down, somehow, I don't know how exactly but the initial cover up can never be allowed to happen again.
Having said that, the idea of reparations just looks like a war waiting to happen. It was the crushing reparations that fuelled the WWII.What say ye, fellow savages.
Maybe China can say that because the US foisted The Donald onto the world that we should call it even.
It's a bit short sighted too, after all the 1918 Spanish flu started in the US, and who knows what new virus might be transmitted from animal to human in Deliverance country.
I wouldn't draw a straight line from reparations to WW2. Besides, in the 20's and 30's LOL 100 yrs ago. Worse yet was the physical proximity as well as a history of wars - Franco Prussian war along with other wars in Europe. And If you ant to go to the Spanish flu, there was bubonic plague in England and several other similar epidemics, malaria, cholera, typhoid.
I definitely want to hit china very very very hard. Because the last 20 yrs are all china when a fast moving easily spread disease comes in wiping out millions and quickly china cleans up the rhetoric by silencing the press without ever addressing the problem.
81K infected, 77K recovered, 3K dead, 99.5% accounted for, 0.5% unknown, nothing to see here. It sounds like they genetically created a disease they have immunity to with those numbers. Definitely to be considered an act of war. They cant have it both ways. Super low numbers = they are immune to it = they definitely need to pay for it. If their numbers are higher - release them and we might empathize and let off a little on the reparations. BTW Biden is also talking about reparations, but I think he wants to collect it form the races that have lower fatalities, like black and brown people evidently are higher, so white people need to pay them reparations or something. He wants race related data to do that. Apparently Pochahontas is his main advisor.
Cool.
