I don't thin it's racist.
It's deserved. The world must hold China accountable. For this and the million other atrocities the world has tolerated for too long.

Remember last week China went on record and said American soldiers caused the virus. Trump hasn't taken that lying down and good on him I say. Even a lot of liberal types are on his side in this one.

The Chinese are emptying our oceans, cutting down the world’s forests, they’ve made more animals extinct than any other nation, they eat anything with a heart beat and have shown how weak and corrupt and easily duped and manipulated people on the African continent are. They have a grand plan to colonize Africa and to rape it. In my view they are the scourge of the planet.
And they’re evil enough to have manufactured this and made a chunk of their people expendable for their benefit. They’ve mopped up untold billions worth of shares owned by foreigners internally and will use their massive cash reserves to do the same on world markets, if anyone thinks they’re just being opportunistic they need to think again.

Shutting down the world’s economy for months is just insane. When the world counts the cost of a recession that could run into years the damage of that will make this pale into insignificance.
80% of the world are not escaping this. Lockdown may work in first world countries but it is not the solution here. Firstly people are too stupid to listen, secondly they can’t afford to holiday at home for a couple of months and finally the objective of isolation is to prevent an overload of health services- well we don’t have any to speak of, nor do most other African countries, so what’s the point? We have about 50 people in Southern Africa over the age of 80 the life expectancy is about 50.
Who’s at risk? We wait to see what it does to HIV and TB carriers, won’t be long.
African countries will go through the motions of lockdown but it’s impossible to achieve. Let’s see..

Hydroxy-chloroquine and Zithromax will fix this and China will miraculously come up with a vaccine that will be on special to ask for forgiveness as a smokescreen after China are many trillions better off and Africa in greater debt and handing over land, mining and fishing rights in exchange for the free vaccine.
It should not be named the China Virus it should just be called China!

Social distancing is merely joining the queue for a ventilator should you need one. You’re not likely to escape it. We’ve got 15 in Zim, I’m not getting access to one
I’m all for it, but to buy time for a cure, f%^* the vaccine. Who knows what’s going to be in that pierce of evil.

I used to idly listen to John Oliver, but this dude is a f*^% twat, hysterical little man, and I use that term loosely. It would be vaguely useful if it thinned out a few sniveling Democrats as well.

Bottom line is we have to heed the advice of experts in their respective fields.

China is certainly not a good actor but now is the time to unite as humanity. Within reason of course.

Some common sense measures in China would have stopped this whole things. The Chinese practice of wet markets is what caused this thing, and the subsequent cover-up by the Chinese government allowed it to eventually become a pandemic. I am quite happy to lay this disaster at the feet of the Chinese.

Ok someone I know well has just come down with it here and off he went to Wilkins Hospital, our main infectious diseases centre, and they don’t have one ventilator These wealthy politicians are the main carriers because they swan around the world with their ill-gotten money. They will be squealing for their share of the WHO Corona fund which I promise you they will dip into.
But ZANU has just bought a couple of hundred vehicles emblazoned with the ZANU insignia and pictures of our leader in preparation for the next elections. It’s completely unacceptable. How many ventilators would these vehicles buy? Our leader I think is/was in Namibia with his entourage on his hired jet, how many ventilators would that buy? It’s simply disgusting what they get up to.
Maybe, just maybe, this virus will finally make people realize that ZANU have sunk this country beyond repair.
Maybe China have engineered their own demise here?
