our military of releasing the virus. That appears to have come from a tweet by a Chinese government spokesperson. It's not clear just what level that spokesperson is. Maybe it's like Sarah Sanders tweeting something stupid, if it's not a message the Chinese government meant to put out there. Maybe they could denounce that guy, apologize, then take him out and shoot him? Would that make Trump feel better and stop it?

I've also seen that blaming it on our military was part of some Russian propaganda that's out there. If that's where the Chinese spokesperson got it, Trump is pushing their propaganda, even if it did go through someone in the Chinese government. Putin is Bart Simpson and Trump is Moe.

I am surprised a woman was chased into a store here in San Francisco, there are so many of us Asians in this state, yet... some non-Asian guy tried to attack her, because he thinks all
Chinese, all Asians, carry the virus.

なんて無知な愚か者。

She and her family brought it here. People are telling me. Some say. Her Cocain ships brough it. Many people say. Where the hell is ICE? Make em take the malaria pill as a trial so they can't spread the Jinuh Virus. Trump has a good feeling about it. A game changer.
