I wonder how often virus patients are forced to hold up their ID while a picture is being taken?

Even if he died from the disease he was likely intentionally infected and denied treatment. No one crosses the DNC or the communist party of China.

I’m sure his communist masters really went out of their way to save him.


There are really nice Chinese everywhere. However, people is something they have no shortage of. Doubt they went out of their way, but I could be wrong.
