Dr Fauci said the China virus is a joke

Fauci doesn't want people to worry about coronavirus, the danger of which is "just minuscule." But he does want them to take precautions against the "influenza outbreak, which is having its second wave."

"We have more kids dying of flu this year at this time than in the last decade or more," he said. "At the same time people are worrying about going to a Chinese restaurant. The threat is (we have) a pretty bad influenza season, particularly dangerous for our children."

    Problem with much of South America is there love of socialism and theftocracy. Chile has been educating a bunch of wannabe commies. You would have thought they learned that communism means economic misery. But no. Look at Venezuela. Argentina should be an economic powerhouse, but they have the fatal love of socialism drilled into them. Can't quit it.

    The Chinese are dirty commies but the work ethic is there which is why they’ve been successful at the mercantilist thing to date.

    They have also been successful because both parties have allowed the chicoms to steal our intellectual property for decades. Look at the reaction from both RINOs and dems when Trump finally said enough and started to attack the problem. The hysterical wailing was a good clue that Trump was over the target. Even now, we have the entire dem party and the MSM shilling chicom propaganda to try to unseat Trump and get Slo Joe into the presidency so they can control him. A guy who is bought and paid for by the chicoms. dodo and the counselor are just more examples.

    Things move fast with coronavirus. Sounds like you can't handle the ups and downs of global pandemics.



    How many times has a ridiculous Kim Grinolds expression morphed into a oft-used phrase at HH?

    Yeah it's the government's fault that American companies entered into JVs with forced tech transfer agreements knowing that they were partnering with a country that is notorious for cheating. Or that American companies don't do their HR due diligence when hiring hiring Chinese foreign nationals (for less $$$ than their American counterparts) to perform work that is susceptible to IP theft. Or that we didn't craft legislation that forced private industry to harden their IT security infrastructure to ward of cyber attacks. Now that short-term benefits of doing business with/in China have dried up let's bail these companies out because for some reason its not their fault that their in this position.
