COVID-19: USA, Italy & the rest of Europe

[Kyrios]

So maybe now with all the US bad news no doubt including those moronic ones from trump, they will dispel 2 notions put forward by pro china sarporkters:

First that the US CIA planted the virus in china, now this conspiracy theory appears less likely with each passing day because if Trump had ordered the planting, he will have the antidote for it, well apparently not.

Second that this malignant virus was already floating around in USA a few years back and some US military folks participating in some china Games brought it there...hmm is this true? If it is really as what the chinese authorities claimed, given that the virus was already inherent within US communities for a few years might have already given US citizens herd immunity...well apparently no..such is not the case. And given the huge number of overseas tourists to US including many of us from sgp each year, shouldnt the outbreak have erupted in the US hinterland or be discovered sooner?

Just pure speculation from a layman's perspective, it could be well true that covid existed already in the US but it is maybe a milder version of its malignant cousin killing thousands worldwide now. The milder version could be like some of our harmless bacteria residing in our colons....Somehow the milder version found its way to wuhan where it fused into pangolins, bats or rats...and it metamorphsized into this potent virulent killing machine..so i say ..... china could still be the origin of all this madness.

So it is only right the Chinese folks do all they can to help italy and spain etc. I dont see why pple consider them as saviours or feel indebted to them and start talking abt using huawei 5G to repay their 'kind' favours. Or end of US supremacy blah blah etc. Some form of modified Stockholm Syndrome that we shud feel indebted to those who initially caused us so much misery?

They dragged us into this mess, perhaps involuntarily via an act of god or nature. Still, since china started this, they be very well the ones to end it by extending help to those nations painfully stricken by it. Say your pet cat goes on a rampage and topples several naybors' potted plants along your hdb corridor. Although you did not mean it purposely, the least you can do is still to apologise to your naybors and help pay for the damages? Isnt it morally the right thing to do?

That's another showcase of Trump's naivety again. The ventilator has many sophisticated parts that are manufactured in different parts of the world. This is not something you can ask a car manufacturer to copy and paste 40,000 copies to. Yes, in WW2, US has made car manufacturers produced tanks, but mechanically, cars and tanks have more in common. The ventilator is a different machine altogether. 

This is like asking me and @Angcheekto do a brain surgery operation simply because we both know how to use knife to cut a steak.

This is ridiculous. 

hahaha and he blamed that people dont trust him 

How to trust that donald duck

 

PS: Can I have Pork Chop ? I dont take beef lel . 😂

All of you are wrong about my BFF Trump.

Just look at the facts.

8 days ago US has 18,000 cases and today in just 8 days they have 100,000 cases.

Even my good friend @Turboflat4 cannot deny

My BFF is doing one HELL of a job.

Just yesterday they edged pass Gina with 82,000 and 24 hours later surge passed Gina with over 100,000.

USA number 1 and that's how it will always be.

This is ridiculous. 

He was ridiculous when he wasnt the president and he remains ridiculous when he is.  Who’s more ridiculous. The people who vote him in

No need to bother with the wall.

Just get Americans with corona to give all the Mexicans

He was ridiculous before. 

He is dangerous now.

You can laugh at a tiger with make-up and a clown's hat when it's safely in a cage. 

I don't think you'd be laughing when it's out. 

This man is costing lives.

The electoral college did exactly what it was supposed to, i.e. keep the choices of the rednecks in the flyover states more relevant and things unfair.

GM cars are not the most reliable (think Opel) wrong company to ask to make ventilators. If breakdown will wait for weeks for parts! 

I would take a Toyota ventilator anytime... 😅

Silly Taiwan cannot match USA.

USA and Taiwan had the first corona case on the same day

and USA now has over 100,000 and Taiwan only has 283.

The Trump of Pakistan

Islamabad [Pakistan], Mar 28 (ANI): Pakistan which has coronavirus trajectory worse than Italy's, and a deteriorated healthcare setup, has risked millions of lives recently by permitting a congregation of a quarter of a million Muslims in Lahore from different parts of the world amid coronavirus outbreak.

Prominent Deobandi cleric Muhammad Taqi Usmani revealed on national TV that Prophet Muhammad had come in the dream of a Tableeghi Jamaatmember and "shared the cure for coronavirus."

The cure was the recital of certain Quranic verses.
