  1. china for a while has no longer been wearing masks and everything is business as usual so? but at least we will know who the liars are.

  2. So what about Pelosi downplaying the virus on “Hug a Chinese Day”, without a mask I might add. Oh this was also the fact when Trump came out clean about the virus, warning that we should shut down international borders.

    1. @Windfeather1057 You might want to learn what “per capita” means. You will then understand how ridiculous your comments are. Covid deaths yesterday: Canada: 2, USA: 1,134.

    2. @Moe Moe Shutting down flights from China was negligible, and almost certainly done to keep the many racists in his base happy. What he should have done, if he really cared and knowing the seriousness of the problem was to ensure that the Tens of Thousands of Americans returning from overseas were properly isolated. But he didn’t, because he is incompetent.

    3. @Jack Frost You are whom what you call others.

      You only call out the things that you hate about Yourself in reality.

      You are what I like to call a Demagogue!

      That is why you are a hypocrite!

  3. If ANY of those rallies Trump held had caused coronovirus outbreaks, we would have heard about it from the msm!!

  4. Why should Trump care about the majority of the deaths who would not vote for him anyway? a perfect election plan. His family could make some money on the manipulated market at the same time so he would not want to release his income tax. Win Win situation.
