Personally, I just don’t care. It’s just a stupid, juvenile nick name at the end of the day lol. Use of the term may be linked to Asian-American violence. I’m not sure. If that’s actually the case, then sure, the use needs to stop. Otherwise, I just don’t care. I’m not offended by it. It’s just something an 8th grader would come up with. That’s republicans for you.
I can’t help but ask why though. Is it simply so provoked liberals will say “that’s racist!”. Is that the reason it’s a thing? Just as provocation? I mean we all know the virus originated in China. Of course, it’s Trump’s fault the US leads the world in recorded deaths.
Really? Trump's fault? Was it Trump that allowed the subways to run though they were not being disinfected? Was it Trump that ordered nursing homes to admit COVID patients? Was it Trump that encouraged people to attend Lunar New Year celebrations? Was it Trump that said that limiting admission to this nation from China was racist? Was it Trump that refused to buy enough ventilators to deal with a 1918 style pandemic?
And you expect to be taken seriously?
Yes, it was the Trump White House which issued guidelines about nursing homes. Cuoma simply followed them.
It was Trump who made the decision to ban travel from China and do nothing about the virus coming from Europe. It was Trump who brought 40,000 people home from China without testing them, and then sent them out across America.
It was Trump who failed to provide the East Coast Airports with testing to prevent the virus from coming in from Europe. The cleaning of the subways did little to nothing. It was the people riding the subways who spread the disease, and there were no tests to find them.
Celebrations in China Town didn't spread the virus. There was no outbreak after Chinese New Year. But Mardi Gras and Spring Break, both overseen by Republican governors who allowed them to go ahead, spread the virus throughout the USA.
Americans are banned from every country in the world right now. You cannot leave the USA. No country will let you in. It's going to stay that way until you shut the **** up, stay home, and get this thing under control.
