If it wasn’t for internet censorship the whole world would have been better prepared and thousands of lives would have been spared.

I’m disgusted at the WHO for backing China and not criticizing them for the initial cover up. It’s all about the Benjamin’s I guess

[execoftheyear]

one of the first "conspiracy theories" was it being a biological weapon. I don't 100% believe it's true but after watching this video, it starting to feel more than just a conspiracy theory

This next vid is a good followup. I like this Gordon Chang guy. He is very knowledgeable and is well spoken.

that guy gives really good interviews. I really liked the one he did with (RIP) Kobe.

I actually watched one of the earlier broadcasted COVID-19 conferences with WHO live and I was getting fed up with the constant praise for China during that conference and couldn't watch it anymore. It got to a point where it became ridiculously obvious something was up.

China is kicking out black people. Blaming them for the spread of the disease. Doesn't really compute though...

you can never trust people nowadays, these people could have been paid hush money from the CCP or have stock in a potential vaccine

We Should ask them if you should then start kicking Chinese people out and blame them for the spread of the disease Worldwide (?). Like for the spread in Lombardy (Italy) with all their recent Chinese business investments there.

Anyway, thankfully "we" are not like them thus they can continue to kick blacks out but that will not fool anyone

That's already happening, along the same lines as what happened in China. A Home Depot delivery guy wouldn't deliver to a family in the US because they were Asian, and attacks against Asian Americans have increased a lot over the last month or so.

A McDonalds in China wouldn't let black people in and has since apologized for that idiocy.

if you were telling me that Home Depot wouldnt let Chinese people in then it would be different (I guessit would be like China towards Black)...Let's not let the actions of a few scattered/stupid individuals like that guy in Home Depot define the actions/non-actions of the masses.
Guess what I am saying no it is not happening...ChinaTowns and such are not going anywhere

One thing for certain, it is normal to be a lil upset towards Chinese's Government right now..

Yep, we should be suspicious about the government and not the people. Blaming some random Chinese person walking down the street is idiotic. It's like someone in S. America beating up a Canadian or American for Trudeau or Trump.

Blacks in China has always seemed like an odd mix to me. Very little cultural simularities and to blame such a small group for the virus is beyond bizarre.

If I'm reading this right, the US has 1500 covid19 deaths today alone. It's only 1:37pm.

Atleast the WWE is an essential service in FLA. Of all the odd stories I have read, this is right up there.

[BBallInSight]

Sure, the economy will be in shambles for years, and our rights will be permanently diminished, but look at the bright side: Kawhi can't win a championship will the Clips this year. Ha ha ha.

This is the dashboard I use to see what's up:

I believe both cases and deaths are still being under reported, since many states remain very limited in how many tests they can undertake and post-mortem confirmations of COVID generally aren't happening ... but some data is better than none I guess.

A lot of Chinese people are racist towards black people especially the older generation, so that's not surprising at all....

Expert and brother of UFC owner says return of crowds in sports events won’t happen until late 2021

“Larger gatherings — conferences, concerts, sporting events — when people say they’re going to reschedule this conference or graduation event for October 2020, I have no idea how they think that’s a plausible possibility.

“I think those things will be the last to return. Realistically we’re talking fall 2021 at the earliest,” he added.

There goes the season ticket holder profits for the next year or so.

See, what you're failing to consider here is the flipside, that the peoplen in the first video could also have an agenda, financial motive or other reason for speaking in the way they do also. You don't think there are people who would pay to spread disinformation about China, or benefit from knocking China down from it's perch as a rival superpower to the US? The fact that they are calling it the CCP Virus should be raising some very loud alarm bells in your head, because that is a highly charged, highly inflammatory name to give it. It goes well beyond calling it the Wuhan Virus or China Virus and basically screams "we have a specific axe to grind".
