I really don’t care - as long as you know who gets re-elected. But, when Trump cancelled flights from China in late January, he was attacked from every direction, most of all from Washington. It was early in the international lockdown cycle. People back in those days didn’t think along the lines of putting the world on ice. Takes a long time to turn a big ship. Anyway... family friends were in Rome Italy last November, around the same time my wife and I were there. They took a cruise ship from Rome to Florida - and she came home quite sick, with a dry cough, weakness and shortness of breath, which lasted for about 6 weeks. She has antibodies to CoViD. She got infected in the middle of November, on the way from Italy. All January I kept reading stories about people with dangerous viral pneumonias showing up in ER’s - testing negative for Flu. At that time, the CDC did between zero and 16 CoViD tests a day. The disease was fairly widespread way before they identified the new virus in Wuhan.

China's bosses hid the virus in the same way as the Pentagon wanted to hide the virus on the ship, but Crozier wouldn't have it, same as the Chinese doctor who warned about WuFlu and died from the virus wouldn't have it. Many in USA minimized and dismissed WuFlu as no worry. Trump, Pelosi and many others. How the Chicoms treat there own people is their business. Hiding the virus from us while keeping their people as safe as possible and allowing infected people to come here while not letting them travel in China is outrageous. They hid the fact that they were infecting us. This is the way that Communist Governments act. Fauci and CDC and WHO caused 100s of thousands of deaths by lying or being totally retarded about the use of air filters over nose and mouth to prevent drops of spittle spraying around into other people and to stop receiving them too. They babbled on about OCD washing of hands when that's not the main problem. Asians know to wear breathing protection. They avoided WuFlu going exponential. Americans are gradually figuring it out, but they still do rioting and other infectious collectivism. I agree with you that that's how communist governments act, but it's also how the Pentagon and other government people act. Crozier was fired!! The common variable is the Big Brother mentality which is rife in governments around the world. Including democratic ones. The small improvement in democratic ones is that we can throw the bastards out at the next election if they are too egregious. Regarding infected people being allowed to fly to USA from China, if they had refused Americans wanting to leave, and forced them to stay in China Americans would have gone bananas and threatened nuclear war. Most politicians in USA were in favour of flights continuing from China to USA. Trump said No! Pelosi and co went bananas at him for racism. Even now, New Zealand is allowing NZers to return and the bastards are escaping from quarantine and risking infecting the rest of us. About 50 cases have been imported, but so far, quarantine has saved us. I know there's mass hysteria about China, with crazed people ready to pull the trigger now. But things are okay really. Sure, they are totalitarian authoritarian intellectual property thieves, like Apple tried stealing from Qualcomm, but authoritarian is the norm when dealing with TSA, border control and police in general around the world. If you don't challenge China's bosses, it's more free than in our "free" world where everything is illegal unless it's compulsory, and you pay big tax on it whether it's moving or not, with licences, permits, approvals required for anything. Try running a lemonade stand on the side of the road! That needs a dozen government inspectors. How the Chicoms treat there own people is their business. Not to me. I might not be able to do much about the evil around the world immediately but I put various people/countries/companies on my blacklist and they will pay! Hong Kong should go full Crimea/Scotland/Quebec/Catalan = go independent if they want to and join up with whoever. Scotland and Ireland to Europe. England to freedom. Crimea to Russia. Quebec to ? Catalan to England federation, along with Greece and other freedom lovers around the world. England could lead the world again, but fat chance!!! Or Greece - after a couple of thousand years. Fatter chance!! Hong Kong could do - they already have the common law, Free Enterprise, private property, lots of good Virtuous Victorian Values [they kept them, when the British abandoned them, and showed how good they are]. Okay, I shall stop typing!! Mqurice
