    No I do blame a certain level of their government but not their entirety. This is probably the most devestating gobal financial crisis in history or will be. But don't blame their manufacturing firms etc.

    Take away the money and the government will have to comply. Global politics 101. Maybe the many many millionaires and billionaires of China (who own much of the property in the US) will have to pay a higher tax but basically, the more money you put in the hands of people who do not prioritize humanity or know what it is, the more you can expect to severely falter.

    Why do you feel the need to read any journalism at all? All headlines are made up and modified base don the content in the article.

    I could not agree more. You just keep doing whatever it is that you're trying to do, I'm sure someone will keep paying attention.

    You are blaming the wrong people. Those billionaires are literally as angry, if not more so, than you are as they are being financially bled dry. The people that they bribe or do business with in the actual government that are supposed to access the situation are at fault. It's like blaming Bill Gates or Warren Buffet for Trump's administrative mistakes.
    This virus could have been nobody's fault. It and its family of viruses is harbored by a particular bat or bats... The bite of the creatures could set it all off... The problem is, if exterminated, what eco balance is off set and creates other problems?

    Sure it would get here eventually but China being a major part of our supply chain is a disaster waiting to happen in itself.

    Just look at medications - we do much of the research and development here in the USA under FDA regulations , then its produced in China.
    What happens when we are in direct conflict with China and our meds are cut off ?

    Then there's all the other crap we import from China ....

    We've fueled their economy with our desire for cheap **** for the last 40+ years to the detriment of our own economy and are now reliant upon them as a major source for a whole lot of stuff that's important to daily life.

    Its that wealth generated by our desire for cheap **** that funds all their "dirty deeds" across the globe.

    Obama negotiated TPP which was designed to address this exact issue and spread our supply chance across the pacific, but Trump killed it (which also killed export jobs for us). It was a terrible short-sighted move but Trump just wanted to kill anything not done by him.

    So now you are complaining to get TPP back?

    Farmers know TPP would've saved their literal bacon in a trade war like this.

    They were just cashing in Donny's hush money while taking a bath in the markets.

    TPP did nothing to reduce the US demand for Chinese goods.

    Orange man bad.

    How should the United States compensate all who have died due to climate change caused by their energy companies?

    Dude can't let go.

    That neolib policy was trash and bad news and it is dead. It still left us open to this same situation. We need internal production on essential goods for a war time or panic situation.

    Was there a statute of limitations for those (18,000) worldwide that died from the swine flue (originated in the U.S.)? Or how those (50,000,000) that died from the Spanish flu (originated in the U.S.)?

    DEBT REFUSAL.

    We owe China a lot of money...

    so sue China and have a trial and to collect damages refuse to pay back the amount China's intentional release of the Wuhan virus eventually costs the United States.

    Start keeping a tab on this now.

    Both SARS and COVID-19 are in the "coronavirus" family, and both appear to have emerged from animals in China's notorious wildlife markets. Experts had long predicted that these markets, known to be potential sources of disease, would enable another outbreak. The markets, and the wildlife trade that supports them, are the underlying problem of these pandemics; until China solves that problem, more are likely to emerge.
