What americans eat are disgusting. Arseholes and earholes shaped into burgers and hotdogs.
Eh Grinner? Getting your arsehole eating is bad? Or have I misread your comments?

I'll take a deep fried platypus arse over a box of Kraft mac & cheese anyday of the week. Coming from Ireland to the US was a fecking eye opener, can't even get a decent loaf on the shelf, too sweet with a very weird chew on it. But it's the USofA so an extra few notes gets you some tasty stuff with better quality.What americans eat are disgusting. Arseholes and earholes shaped into burgers and hotdogs.
This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.
If that weren’t enough, we can plumb recent history for an even more damning account. In a 2019 article, Chinese experts warned it was “highly likely that future SARS- or MERS-like coronavirus outbreaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China.” In a 2007 journal article, infectious-disease specialists published a study arguing that “the presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored.” It was ignored.
I honestly don't see the difference between eating a cow a horse or a dog if they are being bred for food purposes. Nor a chicken or a bat. You either eat meat or you don't. I have limits on what meat I eat but I can't be hypocritical just because of my cultural diet.
I find all this hypocrisy a little sickening to be honest. Trump calling it The Chinese Virus is not the same as someone saying Spanish Flu. Trump full on admitted yesterday it was purely in retaliation to reports of him hearing that China had apparently been blaming the CIA and USA. It's spiteful and his comments drip with spite and xenophobia.
He knows exactly what he is doing and what his words mean and how they will be used and interpreted by his base. Anyone pretending or arguing otherwise is being a fecking idiot and being obtuse and arguing just for arguings sake.
This article hits the spot:

The Chinese government have blood on their hands, no doubt.
Such a fecking despicable excuse for a human. cnut!
Wait for the numbers in the US to hit 6 figures and you'll see Trump accusing china of an act of war.He has found his boogey man and going to make it all about the Chinese. This is what he is good at. I thought a virus being unable to talk would be difficult to fight against but he has found a way.
Japanese Encephalitis and German measles say Hi
Japanese or German geographical regions?
I have no problem with it being called the Wuhan coronavirus, just that the CCP are so busy trying to get everyone to call it COVID-19 because they are more concerned with propaganda than anything else.German measles were named after the scientist who discovered them.
Japanese encephalitis was coined in 1871 and was what it was originally called. It's safe to say we would be more aware not to name it that in this day and age.
Moreover, the virus ALREADY had a geographic name: Wuhan. And Trump decided to inject his xenophobic shtick.
Don't be purposely obtuse. You look extremely silly throwing out random names hoping your cheap attempts at whataboutism sticks, without even bothering doing the background research yourself.
Don't be a circus clown like Trump.
It would help if the WHO didn't spread fake news to start with.Whereas the US has taken the threat seriously right from the start and acted swiftly.
I genuinely don't see his Presidency surviving this. It's going to go on for months and people are going to get more angry and more scared and with this bumbling idiot appearing on TV every day acting petulant and completely lost and out of his depth I think even members of his base will lose patience with him at a time when they are looking for leadership and answers rather than sassy one liners and excuses.
He's not going to win the independent voters who were betting on his economy. They're more likely to trust Biden who was Obama's VP when Obama steered the US out of the recession and upwards (yes Eboue we know how he sold out to do this)
I see you haven't addressed Japanese Encephalitis or German measles, what about MERS, West Nile Virus, Zika, Ebola?
Personally I think it should be called Wuhan virus, likes SARS should have been the Guangzhou virus.
Typical Germans*You absolute melt
Here's the difference, mate. A cow, chicken or pig raised for food in the west is subject to a large number of safety and quality standards. Yes, there are gaps but as we have seen in the past, outbreaks of disease in these populations are generally handled swiftly via mass culls to protect consumers.
You will never find any remotely similar quality or safety standards in the wild meats brought to a wet market. This applies equally to Chinese wet markets and African wet markets (as well as some Cuban wet markets for pork in Florida that I've heard about). Interesting that both Chinese and African markets have been shown to be the source of dangerous viral outbreaks. There is nothing racist or xenophobic about being against these practices.
Why Did President Trump Lie About the COVID-19 Crisis?
Only a minute long .Shows the number of people affected while he continued deny it.Haven’t got time to watch it now, is it as scathing as the title suggests?
Interesting source, that’s for sure.

I am with you here, mate. China fecked up and somehow trying to use this yet as another propaganda tool, and WHO was more concerned with not alienating China rather than doing something about it.I have no problem with it being called the Wuhan coronavirus, just that the CCP are so busy trying to get everyone to call it COVID-19 because they are more concerned with propaganda than anything else.
Some have accused me of having TDS here (that's how much I hate Trump), just that for ONCE I don't think he's wrong.
If it ever gets confirmed that it really was a leakage from a warfare lab, that's the equivalent of a rogue general nuking US.Wait for the numbers in the US to hit 6 figures and you'll see Trump accusing china of an act of war.
Mate, it was really early, I get the differences regarding safety and standards etc I was talking about a moral difference. Sorry, should have clarified that but I'd just woken up.
My bad.
I wasn't having a go, langy. But if we are talking morals, cleanliness is next to Godliness.

And Donald Fecking Trump isn't engaged in propaganda? Deluded.I have no problem with it being called the Wuhan coronavirus, just that the CCP are so busy trying to get everyone to call it COVID-19 because they are more concerned with propaganda than anything else.

This is complete nonsense. Since the outbreak occurred there have been reports of China detaining doctors, journalists, and whistleblowers. Literally every major network, liberal or conservative, has covered it. What they are being applauded for is their extreme efforts to stop the spread of the virus, which looks like it is working. Donald Trump, in typical fashion, after claiming it was a hoax, similar to the flu, and downplaying the severity, has now found the perfect scapegoat.If it ever gets confirmed that it really was a leakage from a warfare lab, that's the equivalent of a rogue general nuking US.
Millions might die and the world's economy is gonna have a depression cause China was trying to do a cover-up arresting the doctor who first diagnosed the virus, and in January doing propaganda that it is not a big deal in order to protect their economy.
Oh the irony.It makes me sick how much they are using now this as a propaganda tool and how they are the good guys on this, and yet somehow people are buying it.
No one is buying they are the good guy, people are just saying they did good in controlling it within their borders after the initial clusterfeck.If it ever gets confirmed that it really was a leakage from a warfare lab, that's the equivalent of a rogue general nuking US.

I know you weren't mate. Don't worry, sorry if my reply sounded abrasive, I'm just shattered. 15 hour shift because staff phoned in sick due to being on the piss.
Btw,
I thought it was Canadians are next to Godliness
You sweet talking sonofabitch. I'm a lake.

Much like Richard Burr, Kelly Loeffler dumped stocks following their coronavirus briefing. Rather than just sell, she decided to buy between $100k and $250k shares in Citrix, which is a teleworking company.

This scandal just got even bigger. Loeffler's husband is the chairman of the NYSE.
In 1976, Ebola virus (EBOV) was first identified in Yambuku, 111 kilometers (69 mi) from the Ebola River, but Peter Piot decided to name it after the river so that the town would not be associated with the disease's stigma.[3] Thus, the river is eponymous to the terms Ebola virus, Ebolavirus, and Ebola virus disease
