i agree somewhat especially since the chinese people are not at fault....however, i think at some point china's ruling regime has to held accountable for unleashing a worldwide pandemic that could set off a depression there has been a history of viruses originating in china, in this case, the regime kept the information hidden for until they could no longer hide it...there needs to be some type of sanction for that...i'm just not sure what... sanctions could be as a natural recourse to corporations having had foolishly concentrated manufacturing in china rather than the U.S. and other countries more compatible with western democratic values, iow we shouldn't be rewarding autocratic, authoritarian regimes with our talent and treasure for 'cheap labor'

Me, too, sigh. Last night I clicked off that Levin guest in disgust. This kind of China bashing right now, imo, is so inappropriate when we're all in the same boat searching for treatments, etc. I'm also somewhat annoyed by the horror over the "wet markets". In 1950, I moved with my parents to Hawaii and we lived in Honolulu, not far from the Aliwai (sp?) Canal in a neighborhood with Asian neighbors all around. I remember walking with my mother to what might be called a "wet market" to buy fresh meat and produce. I remember the counters laid out with raw chicken, some beef and barrels of swimming fish. Never noticed exotic animals but there were lots caged birds everywhere and I got one for a birthday. My mother was a surgical nurse and she scrubbed us down with a vengeance every night, but at that market we roamed freely eating goodies and samples of god knows what. My mother said several times during her 100 year life that she considered Asians very clean by nature.
