Everything comes out of China. What the hell?

I certainly hope none of that stuff gets loose at a large assemblage of people like say the Republiclan National Convention. That would be a awful (for the innocent staff).

WuhanPneumonia & SARs happened because wild animals, cats & dogs are helplessly kept in inhuman conditions waiting to be slaughtered & skinned alive in these wet markets everywhere in China. It's time they ban such barbaric acts for the sake of humanity.

9 people have died in a country with more than 1.4 billion...

Man making diseases to kill off people in to make The pharmaceuticals are rich.

Trump said at Devos 'it's only one guy, we have it totally under control' ucking idiot.

It is Chinese New Year right now. Good luck with that.

I don’t believe anything China says, because they lie & obfuscate!

What’s ironic is that the Chinese are the ones who constantly wear face masks, yet they manage to create an entire epidemic. Cheers
