But Dumpster says there is no problem....... Another lie as usual!!!

Novel? Like a book that has been purposely written? Asking for a friend...

Sounds suspect. Why approx 7 weeks to 'contain' a deadly virus. Why not suspend indefinitely until they can find a solution? Remember, Hong Kong was conquered by the British. Hmmm a 'specific' time sounds suspect & questionable. Isis

Holy smokes.

What happens on the 19th..? The virus dies off?

Hong Kong Bookseller Sentenced By China To 10 Years For Passing 'Intelligence'A Hong Kong bookseller who published critical volumes about Chinese leaders was kidnapped by Chinese agents while vacationing in Thailand in 2015. Now, he's been sentenced to 10 years in prison for providing intelligence to people overseas. This human rights violation shows how non-democratic nations and their leaders greatly fear a free press and free speech. In a democratic nation like the U.S., the leader with autocratic ambition labels any free press criticism as “fake news.” OMG, every time I think the US has gone to hell, I read something like this that illustrates how bad an authoritarian regime can actually be. This sort of thing is what Trump’s aiming at and it’s unconscionable! Hong Kong hasn’t made it yet. StandWithHongKong China_is_terrorist
