Shi Jiangtao in Hong Kong/Beijing and Wendy Wu, SCMP: Coronavirus infects China-US relations as blame game over pandemic intensifies

* The global health crisis has killed tens of thousands of people, battered economies and put a severe dent in Beijing’s relations with other countries
* In the face of a possible global backlash, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the country must be prepared for unprecedented external adversity and challenges

This is the second in a series of five stories exploring the global backlash that China may face as a result of its actions and rhetoric during the coronavirus pandemic. This story examines the outlook for China-US relations, including the risk that the pandemic’s impact and the responses of China and the US to it will push the two largest economies in the world into a new Cold War.

The new coronavirus has caused a global disease epidemic and all but turned the lights out on much of the world’s economy. The next ripple effect could be a new Cold War, this time between China and the United States.

The world’s two biggest economies are still trying to grasp the unprecedented scale of the pandemic’s consequences.

Global growth forecasts have been ripped up and job losses are running into the millions and counting, while governments are pulling together rescue packages worth hundreds of billions of dollars that dwarf those of the financial crisis 12 years ago.

YouTube and Twitter Censor Pharma Company Researching UV Light Treatment for Chinese Virus

So Trump was taking about using ultraviolet light inside the body. The press, a bunch of people with few skills and no credentials, laughed at him.

Turns out her was right.

Ozone is a disinfectant. They use ozone in the body in research into fighting viruses and other diseases.

Trump was right again.

Univision is laying off people. The Legacy Media should get the hint. They need to get credentialed and they need to start to do some thing different. They need to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

2 weeks later Trump closed the border with China. Immediately Pelosi called Trump racists. Some dude named Fred posted an article about how closing the border would not work.

Won't work 100% most often, but it will slow the spread and FLATTEN the Curve.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials report that an illegal alien from India tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) after he illegally crossed the border with a group of Mexican nationals.


We don't need no sticking wall say the Whacked liberal.

note: you do not flatten the curve in your home town unless you live on the border.If every person was not allowed in at our Mexican border we would still have massive deaths in our nation.

Bleach Ingestion Advocates Are Thrilled By Trump's 'Disinfectant' Comments

Contact tracing is used to run a disease to the ground.

How are you going to contact trace illegals once they are across the border inside?

For every one we catch at the border with no wall 2 get away. so we caught a guy with COVID. 2 other people with COVID crossed the border and we do not know where they are.

The fewer cases you start with the easier it is to keep a disease below a certain numbers once you are aware of it and are working the the cases and the effort.

About bleach (& Clorox)

Bleach and Clorox are a subset of the total number and kinds of disinfectants.

Do you know what a subset is?

Probably not. You are not good with numbers.

Ozone is also a disinfectant. It has been used inside of people.

The president did not use the word bleach or Clorox.

The only reason that people might thin that he did is because of a libturd press and public schooling in Democrat occupied parts of America.

Even the makers of Clorox and Lysol pleaded with Americans not to inject or ingest their products.

The frantic reaction was prompted by President Trump’s suggestion on Thursday at a White House briefing that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant like bleach or isopropyl alcohol could help combat the virus.

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute,” Mr. Trump said after a presentation from William N. Bryan, an acting under secretary for science at the Department of Homeland Security, detailed the virus’s possible susceptibility to bleach and alcohol.

Another parrot special (Or someone imitating parrot.).

So cute, so cute. Putting a post ALL: in Bold makes it more true, more persuasive.

"Antiseptics and disinfectants both kill microorganisms, and many people use the terms interchangeably. Adding to the confusion, antiseptics are sometimes called skin disinfectants.

Both antiseptics and disinfectants contain chemical agents that are sometimes called biocides. Hydrogen peroxide is an example of a common ingredient in both antiseptics and disinfectants..."

Trump spoke the truth.
