Popular Post NoshowJones Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 Well is China really to blame for the virus, or is it allegedly? If they are to blame, will other countries keep the Chinese out when things get as normal as they can? Will the world forgive China for what happened, or be like Thailand and let them all stream in? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 Of course there will be no "kicking out" barring or any other kind of racist action..I would like to think people dont blame or take action against an entire nation and its people for the action (alledgedly or not,) of its Govt. Who knows, it may have been a simple bio hazard accident, but thats a different topic. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thailand Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 The world is probably responsible man made or otherwise. Just about every country has been developing biological agents for warfare in the guise of research for betterment for the people.It may have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, it may have morphed from some animal. It could easily have started in the US or any another country. Maybe the world will learn something from this catastrophe, ideally helping countries to work together in the future instead of against one and other. I doubt it though, man does not seem to have that foresight. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be wrong to discriminate against the ordinary Chinese people, but if China did cause this virus, surely other countries must make sanctions against them in some way. We cannot take chances and allow this to happen again. Serious damage has been done all over the world. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not say I was right. Checking google you will find many different theories on this, Kansas is one of the more popular, and earliest ones, but there are indeed many. Students still choose it as a Phd thesis, of course the evidence trail is now weak. I used it as an example of the foolishness of any rush to judgement. Judge not, that ye be not judged yourself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) China was the "manufacturer".

Popular Post finnsk Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Nobody is responsible for a panepidemic, it seems to be a part of the worlds lifecyclus. Historical there has been a lot of them. China is making research in epidemic, and a lot of other organisations, companies, countries is doing the same. In Wuhan the chinese have 2 research centers in this area, maybe accidents has happends, sh.t happens, but in this moment nobody knows, it is time to work together in the world, not to make trenches. I do not believe anybody have a wish to make this outbreak of covid. Edited April 18, 2020 by finnsk 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rupert the bear Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 why did the PRC govt jail and disappear reporters, drs and private citizens who saw the effects of the disease,tried to warn others in the country in order to help them?some have totally disappeared with out a trace.their families have been harrassed and some of those disappeared too.why didnt they stop their citizens from spreading it internally and internationally especially at chinese new year.?they had known for several months at that juncture what was happening.these are important and straightforward questions that need an answer and they can be directed at WHO as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot about the Romans pillaging and plundering as well as Hannibal and his elephant rampage over the Alps....but then maybe the relatives of Christopher Columbus for what he did to the American Indians....but I wouldn't put it past anyone, except the US had started reparations for interring the Japanese.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lovesthespicy Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 China is 100% responsible for not telling the truth about what was going on when it first showed up. They could of saved the rest of the world alot of trouble. As far as was it natural or did it come from the Wuhan bio lab, that remains to be seen. I do find it hilarious that China has blamed the USA, and even Italy for the virus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 I distinguish between Chinese people, and the CCP. It's quite evident the CCP endeavored to cover up the initial outbreak, to the point of silencing medical professionals. They again demonstrated contempt for world opinion by re-opening wet markets where the virus is most likely to have originated. Sanctions and penalties which affect CCP leaders, and cause them to lose face, are the right way to go. Recognising Taiwan as an independent nation would be a good start. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
