NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said Wednesday that the COVID-19 coronavirus “is a bat virus, not a China virus.”...He also argued that “China certainly feels that” referring to the virus as the “Chinese virus” amounts to “scapegoating.”“This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats,” he continued. “This is a bat virus, not a China virus.”

China must suffer...gravely...for this “gift” that they have given us and the rest of the world.

You sound like Joe Isuzu, or maybe Captain Queeg.

"This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats". he continued. "This is a bat virus, not a China virus."

Nobody knows if it came from bats. But even if it did, by that same reasoning it would be like saying that since Rocky Mountain Spoted Fever comes from ticks, it should be called tick virus instead.

Those who have had loved ones die from the Chinese Coronavirus should be able to SUE China for causing this. Those who have had lost jobs and their businesses should SUE China.

*** IN FACT, TRUMP SHOULD HOLD THE CHINESE GOVT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE ECONOMIC & PERSONAL COSTS OF THE PROBLEM THAT CHINA CAUSED FOR THE WORLD! ***

China must pay REPARATIONS and Trump should use is all the money China has in US Treasuries AS LEVERAGE!

He should say, “We demand that China compensate us for the economic damage YOUR COUNTRY has caused us and until you pay us, WE WILL CONFISCATE ALL OF YOUR US TREASURY HOLDINGS.”

True to form, the Chinese are rarely known to apologize – ever. The word “apology” almost isn’t in their vernacular. After all, Chinese egos are so focused on “saving face” - so to apologize constitutes “losing face.”

China caused this world pandemic (whether from eating bat soup and civet cats at the Wildlife Wuhan market, or deliberately developing the virus which has 4 strange amino acids inserted into the virus that is uncommon to occur in nature). The main Chinese Bioweapons Lab is IN Wuhan.

There has been no mention of apology from China to the world yet! So disgraceful!!! And it’s shameful for their propaganda machines to brainwash the people into thinking that China is being so magnanimous because it is helping share its experiences with the world and it helped save the world from much worse.

People who eat bats are bat-shit crazy. Let them eat poison, don’t care, but when their filthy unsanitary diets are visited on the world, to hell with them. For the liberal Americans who want to protect China as a means to destroy Trump, shove a rotten filthy bat down their throat until they beg for forgiveness.

I think they were studying a natural virus. The Wet Markets were getting out of hand with infection problems. The Chinese scientists were looking at viral strains coming from bats which had already caused the SARs epidemic. They couldn’t figure out why the new bat viruses were not directly infecting people and suspected it used intermediatoraries like SARS They knew something was happening in the market but what? It was a lot of genetic detective work. I know they were concerned because the wild animal markets were a problem. How to make the Wet Markets safer must have been their goal. It is unfortunate they let it get out of hand.

I’m surprised the lying traitorous America-hating busTARDS in the media aren’t demanding it be called the Trump virus.
