    Also that's 1/5th strong population of the freaking planet, so not sure how it could be even implemented. Also China is not going to sit still and how much power does the US hold against it.

    Awh, dish stuff.

    Very narrow minded articulation though by OP.....sure, the Party is a regime, and the people in Wuhan and Hubei are suffering as much.

    Few folks could have predicted what this virus could do to Italy, Korea, Iran and other countries.

    SARS wasn't that infectious, MERS also.

    Throwing an NBA GM's tweet in there isn't making it sound smarter.

    If you are anti China or anti Chinese peeps, then say it so. Generalizations and over simplifications mostly.

    No the world can actually be mad at the Chinese government. They made concerted efforts to block any information or news about the virus late last year within their own country, including messages sent out by the original ER doctor that found the new viral strain. They downplayed this strain much like how they downplayed SARS almost two decades ago. You're right that virus can occur anywhere in the world, that's something uncontrollable for the most part. However, the act of downplaying and keeping it under wraps is a controlled act...an incredible act of incompetence and negligence especially considering that country has gone through these types of illnesses before.

    The days of China can be sanctioned like that have long gone. I encourage OP and the ones that liked this comment to go out more. Not saying China should not be more responsible to the rest of the world, but stopping buying Chinese products is not a solution to this.

    I can live with that but implying every Chinese is cooking bats or other animals, that is just some wrong accusations.

    Especially with reports that it is a delicacy in Indonesia (bat).

    All of statements such as these are stupid and ignorant and brings rise to racist nonsense that we have seen. Remember influenza And small pox were introduced to the new world by white people. Do we call it a white disease? Are we angry at White people? Do we take photos mocking White peoples heritage and blame them? It is what It is so let’s band together and find solutions instead of hate speech and blame.

    Well ... many governments were slow reacting to the outbreak, not just China ... the same could be said about Italy, Japanese, US governments too. I was right in the middle of China in January. This thing is more complicated than policy failure or systematic hiding of the situation. This is a challenge to humanity at large. All of that said, China should sit back reflect on what could have been prevented and improved.

    No country is perfect. Please read up on history and dig deep into finding the truth.

    What do you think our government is doing? Trump and Pence were telling everyone to got to work a few days ago, and the coronavirus was a hoax concocted by the Dems to stop him from getting re-elected. Now they're saying its all the European Union's fault. Your ass is for ********, dude, not talking.

    Is not the meat they are eating it’s how and where they keep the animals. The wet markets have live exotic and wild animals and they keep them in cages close to other animals. And worst of all they stack them on top of each other so their feces and everything gets pass around other animals. Then also adding that they gutted the animals and prepare them in the spot doesn’t help.
    It’s more that than eating an animal that’s not common for us to eat.

    also China has contain the virus better than other countries. They did took too long too contain it if they had tried it a week or two before it would have decrease it by around 56%.

    There other groups that also have data on this. And there is no point in covering their numbers. That’s the problem they had trying to cover it as not a big deal. If they had acted a bit sooner it would have help a ton. But this is a global crisis and China are treating it like if they are going to war against the virus.

    Animal cruelty in china is beyond imagination. The squalor and torturous conditions they keep the animals in was going to spill over. THis is nothing new and has been a point for decades now. They don't need to eat ****ing armadillos and other creatures that are known to be carriers of leprosy, or skin cats alive. The idea that we should accept wrong and cruel conditions because its another culture is stupid considering that their practices have far reaching implications for the rest of the world. Just consider for a second that a tweet (their own people can't see by someone in another country) was worth more of an outcry than this initially.

    The Chinese have been caught creating & concocting biological weapons before. Dude is calling a spade a spade because they eat bats and rats, you have no right to label him with buzzwords because somebody wants to call them out on their s*** and you're offended.
