Many people want China to help pay for its “silence and secrecy” that allowed the coronavirus to spread globally, according to a new survey focused on the crisis gripping the United States.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 42% of likely U.S. voters said that the communist country should help pay some of the financial costs that have resulted from the so-called Wuhan coronavirus, named for the city it began in.
Some 36% disagreed, and 22% are undecided, said Rasmussen.
Support is higher among Republicans. Of them, 54% want China to “pay at least some of the world’s coronavirus bills,” said Rasmussen. Just 37% of both Democrats and voters not affiliated with either major political party agreed.
So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.— President Donald Trump
Anger at China in the U.S. continues to build, and Rasmussen asked about taking further steps to punish China, including war, if the country retaliates against Washington.
Rasmussen noted that Chinese efforts to blame the U.S. for the virus outbreak have included a call that the government restrict U.S. access to key drugs it makes for American markets.
Said the pollster: “Twenty-eight percent (28%) of voters here say that if China follows through with that threat, it should be considered an act of war. Forty-eight percent (48%) disagree, but 25% are not sure.”
Stow this crap.
Cancel all Chinese Owned Treasury Bonds.
This is why any talk of the virus being a bioweapon is squelched.
Wow you go straight for the big ideas :)
That would certainly be something.
Even Chinese people think it could be a bioweapon. There is much talk about it on WeChat, which is the Chinese version of Instagram.
3 in 10 Americans are not even American.
The talk is only beginning and it’s going to grow because that is what it looks and like and is driving on how it is being managed.
Might be a Deep State bioweapon
War? That’s funny. We have people running around hoarding toilet paper in response to a respiratory virus?! People are losing their minds because sports are cancelled and bars are closed.
We couldn’t fight a war. The military has the cream of the crop, the rest are home, on their phones, searching for toilet paper while they cower.
I am open to the possibility that China did this intentionally, but I really doubt it. I think it was either a mistake, or just a random event.
Make them pay by moving our factories out of that hell hole
As for "making 'em pay!": Reflect on the Treaty of Versailles.
Follow the example of President Trump. He's pragmatic. He's not vindictive. Stay focused on the bottom line, and it's not revenge! Stay positive.
Leave such evils as revenge, envy, anger, greed, mendacity, intolerance, violence, racism, and hate to the Democrats. That's where their focus is.
Indeed, let’s avoid “war” talk. Its not what is needed now.
Shut up Panda breath.
Do they own that much any more?
I’ve stated from the beginning that this was probably a half-assed weapon that was not completed. It got out by accident, IMO, and if they just asked for help, this would have been a non factor.
That cat is out of the bag. As the economy gets worse people are going to want to blame, it’s already happening.
Who’s bioweapon?
Are the buying in their government’s propaganda that it is a US bioweapon or do they think its one of their’s that has gotten loose?
In the FWIW column, I’d agree to at least investigating with the intention of the chicoms paying for all of this crap if it were shown that this is a little shop of horrors creation escaped and gone rogue.
Cancelling Treasury Bonds would be a good way to recover some of the debt.
At this point I suspect that this virus is not a natural mutation. Why?
1. It is radically different from other Corona Virus. We have little or no natural immunity to it like we have past crap that has come from China and elsewhere.
2. It appears much tougher than the usual gradually mutated strains from year-to-year. Like it was built for durability
3. It is much more infectious than the usual mutations having a Ro 4 to 6 times greater than the flu and colds
4. The chicoms responded to this out of proportion to a normal flu type outbreak. They were desperate to contain it from the outset and they were also willing to cordon off the Wuhan area and let everybody there die to extinguish this outbreak. Not normal.
My thoughts but what do I know?
