Why should closure of restaurants and hotels reduce the amount of food required, surely if they don't go out, they still eat and to eat one needs to buy food, prepare and cook it.

Restaurants waste food. When you are laid off and cooking at home the seconds and leftovers get eaten.

Incitement to Riot, by King Donald? Or advocating the violent overthrow of the Government! Either means jail.

I wonder how many people at those rallies got infected.

What has King Donald unleashed?

Unverified news about the US ballistic missile submarine USS Tennessee (SSBN-734) being hit by the novel coronavirus is circulating online

A Twitter user pointed out that no information about coronavirus on the USS Tennessee could be found on Google anymore. “All deleted. If there is a country who has the capacity and motif to do it, US is the No. 1 suspect,” the user noted.

Is it fake news? Or did Google delete all the information? It remains unproven.

Just read the comments like:

"US officials have claimed that sailors aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt picked up the virus at a port call in Da Nang early last March."

That's a lie because the TR carrier set sail from San Diego on 17 Jan. But on the next day some sailors were coughing and had high fever, showing that they caught the Covid-19 virus in America. Later about 500 sailors were sick.

Therefore, the US sailors passed the Covid-19 disease to the Vietnamese in Da nang, just like the infected US soldiers at the World Military Games in Wuhan in late October passed Covid-19 to China.

Fox news is the ruling elite!

Fox News' report is to cater to the political needs of Trump and US ruling elites.

The rest of it is also rather illuminating

Fox News on Thursday quoted "multiple sources" and claimed that the COVID-19 is "likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory." A Fox News reporter also asked US President Donald Trump about the issue during the White House coronavirus news briefing, and Trump didn't deny it. This has promoted the spread of this accusation in the international media.

Everyone knows that Fox News is a media outlet that firmly defends Trump. It did not even dare to say the source of information. We have reason to suspect that Fox News fabricated the news out of thin air. This is their special operation to assist Trump's reelection.

Scientists worldwide have opposed the opinion that the COVID-19 was leaked from the laboratory. On February 18, before China and the US had diplomatic frictions on the origin of the virus, 27 prominent public health scientists released a statement to "strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."

There are only more than six months before the 2020 US presidential election. The US is at the peak of the epidemic and it is uncertain whether it can be controlled. After a slight decline in infections, the number of new confirmed cases and deaths in the US soared by 40,678 and 2,538 over the past 24 hours, both reaching a new high.

The epidemic will impose a continual and dangerous political pressure on the Trump administration. To win the election, Trump and his Republican Party urgently need to pass the buck to others and divert public attention and anger. They will mobilize all their resources and pass the buck to China. Attacking the WHO is a new way to divert people's suspicion on China.

US ruling elites probably believe that whether they can make voters believe the US' highest infections and deaths are all because of China, and whether they can incite extreme nationalism among the Americans against China and make voters hate China, instead of US' rulers, are the keys to their election.

Fox News, US Republican lawmakers, the government-controlled intelligence agencies and the high-ranking officials who appear in public are all playing different roles. They are jointly painting a false picture that China is lying about the main information of the epidemic and hiding key facts from the world.

They are trying to convince Americans that China's so-called concealment has led to the US government's contempt for the epidemic, and has reinforced people's impression that the death toll in the US is too high. They want voters to believe that the US government has done a good job, and the US' death toll is acceptable and is much less than the worst case.

Are American people and international society so gullible?

If the numpty is re-elected, the world will be in a pile of hurt much worse than it currently is.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, warns it is imperative that law enforcement be alert for potential individuals triggered by the pandemic to inflict further harm, it noted that there has been an increase in online hate speech "intended to incite violence and/or use the ongoing situation as an excuse to inflict hate."

Like King Donald's tweets?

Do you have read any "Sleepy Biden" tweets?
Oh. "Sleepy Joe" that is.
Well I fell a sleep reading any of them:)

US President Donald Trump said in his daily press conference on the convid-19 situation that some states will now begin to ease their restrictions.
 "We continue to see a number of positive signs that the virus outbreak has peaked," Trump said.
 In Texas and Vermont, some companies will be able to open again on Monday, Reuters reports. However, they will maintain strong precautions.
However, some governors have warned that they do not intend to open companies and businesses until they have a higher virus testing capacity, Reuters writes.
Sigh... Trump telling lies as always. There is no way to tell that the virus outbreak has peaked now.
But why not doing the Swedish way? Go ahead.
Oh. Big Burger opened after being closed here for a week.
Trust Stevie Wonder that sing we must have some to lean on.
Paul McCartney sings "Lady Madonna".
And. We are all in this together.

Hmm. Let me think for a moment... Hehe:)

Yes, it is a hard decision to make, isn't it? :-D

How China can punish the West for ‘Wuhan flu’ stigmatization
In response to Trump's remarks, in which he accused China of starting the coronavirus pandemic, China may curtail trade with the West. This is a political, which Russia can benefit from.
China bullying has two objectives
Accusations of China help Western politicians achieve the following:
Find the one to blame for all the enormous losses that they are suffering during the pandemic. In fact, it is the West that has not prepared itself for the spread of the virus; it is Western healthcare systems that did not correspond to the declared humanistic role of the prosperous state or the social state, at least.
Get rid of China as a strategic adversary for good and stop it from overcoming the economic downturn, given that the Chinese economy is still largely export-oriented towards the West. In fact, Trump already started doing it prior to the pandemic, when he launched trade wars with China.
How can China respond to attacks from the West?
China will respond with raising the level of nationalism. The Chinese authorities will hold a campaign to dishonor foreigners inside the country (foreigners are garbage), while retargeting its foreign economic policy to other countries.
According to GACC, primary beneficiaries in expanding exports to the Chinese market are (in dollar terms):
Vietnam - an increase by 30.8%
Russia - 17.3%
Malaysia - 10.5%
Indonesia - 9.7%.

Ooooh, aaah, uuumm, Can I ask a friend ;-)

Can I go 50/50?

How China can punish the West for ‘Wuhan flu’ stigmatization

All hail and support the Criminal Chinese Government pocketing more and more wealth. While destroying the jobs of other Country's workers.
The time has come to start moving manufacturing back, and starting new manufacturing, to other Country's.
Yes, there will be some "problems". But no moral and ethical people would support the continuation Xi's criminal government's ability to control many other Country's.

Meanwhile Trump is doing what?

Valerie Sobel explains it...........


STIMULUS PACKAGE

It’s a slow day in a small American town. Streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt and living on credit.

A tourist visiting the area drives through town stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op. The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner. The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything... However! The whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a Liberal Stimulus package works.

But... Trump doesn't absolve the actions and statements of the Democrat's nor the actions, statements and future wishes of the Criminal Chinese Government.

Why don't you have the courage to call it as it is?
The World are the criminals for trading with China.
