I am not a virus, I am a human being: Italian-Chinese's video spreads anti-racist message on social media
SCMP ^ | 14 Feb, 2020 | Laurie Chen

When Massimiliano Martigli Jiang stood blindfolded in the middle of Florence next to a sign reading “I am not a virus, I am a human being, free me from prejudice”, he was overwhelmed by the touching reactions he got from fellow residents and tourists.

Jiang, who is Italian-Chinese, last week uploaded to Facebook, a video of his experiences that got more than 10,000 shares and was covered widely in Italian media.

The video showed Jiang standing masked and blindfolded outside some of Florence’s most recognisable landmarks. Some passers-by stopped and stared, while others took selfies with him. Later on in the video, people hugged Jiang and took off his mask and blindfold.

South China Morning Post is Chinese Communist Party propaganda packaged to sell to gullible foreign devils.

If you’ve been to China recently...regardless of your ethnic background...you’re a virus.

The stupid show-off is more dangerous than virus.

Here we go.

Taking common sense precautions to prevent the spread of a virulent and potentially deadly disease is now “hateful.”

Right on cue.

The subtext: “Expose your population to this disease or else be labeled ‘hateful’ by the PC police.”

In an effort to help rid the world of boring self-indulgent prog virtue signalers, I’m going to open a company like “Perillo Tours” - except, I’ll call it Pre-Ill-o Tours. I’ll sell tickets to Wuhan where they can do all the unprotected touchy-feely-huggy selfie sightseeing they can handle.

I feel for the guy, but he got a bit offended when I asked directions to the nearest Chinese-Italian restaurant.

I got hit with something after being around some coughing asians. I didnt run from them but next time i will even if they had nothing to do with what i caught. I think it was just going to be a nasty cold. Sneezing..nose wouldnt stop running..headache. Started my protocol. All gone this morning.

But it was a wake up call for me.

Btw a poster here who is a Doc said you shouldnt blow a runny nose at the beginning. I wanted to try it but just couldn’t. It was running down my face too fast. Couldnt stand it.

LOL!!

That reminds me of an Odd Couple when Felix asks Oscar over the phone “You’re not mixing Chinese and Italian again are you??” :)

So the CCP has a Colonize Italy program similar to the US one ?
Why are these Commie invaders in Italy ?
China intentionally let its infected flee the country to save on healthcare costs and do
damage to the West .
The fact this CCP rag is running the garbage victim propaganda spin
supports that .

So even the “Italians” getting sick are actually Chinese.

Looking like the Chinese made a bioweapon that targets their own people. Why would they do such a thing?

I saw a report the other day that this virus attacks a certain receptor cell in the lungs. Those of European descent had a 50% chance of catching the virus. Those from Southern China and Japan had a 92% chance of catching it. So it seems they were not developing this to attack the US, but more likely Japan and Taiwan .
