Here at home, there are rising concerns about the Wuhan coronavirus. Philadelphia officials are hoping to give residents, as well as restaurants and businesses, a boost of confidence and support.

“We have confidence that everybody’s safe coming to Chinatown,” Mayor Jim Kenney said.

As a major show of support for residents and businesses in Chinatown, Kenney and other city officials had lunch at the Ocean Harbor Restaurant on Thursday afternoon.

They’re hoping to quell rising fears about the coronavirus

Do either of the Twin Cities have a Chinatown?

So far, no news about the mayor being infected. I’m not convinced that Chinatowns anywhere are a focus of the virus. Boris Johnson, presumably using MI-6 sources, both sigint and humint, postulates that the Chinese death toll is 40x the published numbers. That would bring it to the 120K level. That’s still 1/2 the per capita number in Italy so far. And Italy’s daily deaths are still in the 800 range. The really interesting aspect is that Chinese restaurants were boycotted by Orientals, but non-Orientals continued showing up, and no particular cluster of people having been infected through restaurant visits of any kind has been documented.

No, not at all.

There’s a Mexican part of St Paul. It’s across the river from downtown St Paul. It’s been there for decades.

But no, there’s not a Chinatown here.

My suspicion is that the key mode of transmission is gatherings where people are jammed practically shoulder-to-shoulder.

Would it be bad to hope this mayor is infected?

Don’t care. I hope he is.

Long live the Dragon Gate in Philly’s Chinatown, the Wing Hing in Brookhaven, PA, and the China Lane at Route 320 and Eagle Rd. near Cardinal O’Hara HS. My family ate at all those places when I was little.

It's small, but yes, it has a Chinatown. Ocean Harbor restaurant is down on the end close to 676. Good restaurant, pricey, but very good. I hope Communist Kenney got it to go, as no sit down dining is allowed right now in Philadelphia County.

Yes, the virus is another proud Chinese immigrant. Chinese immigrants have contributed in so many ways to American society. Kung Flu is like the martial art. The latter is an ancient system of exercise to keep people healthy and able to defend themselves, even killing people with just a touch in the right spot. Kung Flu is an even more ancient system of compromising immune systems and killing people. Those poor microbes come with nothing, not even the clothes on their back, just a host to use and discard. Why doesn’t Emma Lazarus’ poem apply to microbes? Racism, that’s why!

What’s the over/under on the number of days before we learn the mayor has the virus?

They waited too long to make it, and we never got the third movie. If Polanski hadn’t effed up with that girl, he could’ve kept on making quality films here. “Jakes” was missing the Polanski touch and lacked for the sinister, oppressive atmosphere of the first (and no John Huston).

DEMOCRATS IN LOCK-STEP

Pelosi recently went to Cali Chinatown to stick it to Pres Trump. She tweeted:
"It was a pleasure to make fortune cookies at the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
The message inside the cookie? “United We Stand.”

When he threw his hat into the 2020 ring, Biden came out swinging. He mocked President Donald Trump’s position on China at a campaign rally.

BIDEN: “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west.”

Biden continued “they can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”

Biden’s suck-up to Communist Chinese leaders was outrageous: “Chinese leaders are good folks.” Yet, we know those same Chinese leaders are committing crimes against humanity. Locking up 1.1, maybe 3 million Uighurs, in concentration camp-like facilities where a not insubstantial number of them are dying.

THE BLOWBACK MUST HAVE BEEN INTENSIVE-—OBAMA MUSTA BEEN PEEVED AS ALL HELL

Biden walked back his comments at a campaign fundraiser saying: “I don’t suggest China is not a problem. I’m the guy who’s been the toughest on – I’ve spent more time with [Chinese President] Xi Jinping than anybody else, just because the nature of my job,” adding “he’s got problems, he’s got gigantic problems. Doesn’t mean he’s not a threat, doesn’t mean they’re not a threat.”

At that time, the infamous Hunter was serving on the board of the billion dollar Chinese private equity company BHR Partners, Hunter organized a meet-and-greet between his father then-VP Joe Biden and BHR CEO Jonathan Li on Dec. 4, 2013, according to New Yorker magazine.

It was sodomy sodomy. Funny thing is, he was set to get a “light” sentence from the judge, but Polanski effed up again being seen at some event in Europe with young teen girls and the judge wasn’t having that. Dude has issues. Sadly, one example of when victim turns into victimizer.
