As coronavirus cases dwindle in China, and explode across the rest of the world, Beijing is undertaking a campaign to shift blame for the emergence of the disease to a familiar foe — the United States.

The seemingly coordinated effort to, at minimum, sow doubts about the virus’s origin, and, at its most extreme, to directly accuse the U.S. military of creating and spreading the pathogen, has come from Chinese medical leaders, ambassadors and Foreign Ministry spokespersons — not to mention the hundreds of thousands of comments on Chinese social media echoing the conspiracy theories
And for any who still doubt . . . the definitive evidence that USA and Europe are to blame:

https://ewn.co.za/2020/03/15/virus-god- ... e-minister
HARARE – Zimbabwe's defence minister has called the coronavirus pandemic a "punishment" of the US and Europe for imposing sanctions against members of the ruling regime over human rights abuses."Coronavirus is the work of god punishing countries who imposed sanctions on us," said Zimbabwe's defence minister Oppah Muchinguri on Saturday, speaking at a rally in the northern town of Chinhoyi.

"They are now staying indoors. Their economies are screaming just like they did to our economy."

Fuck you Gob - this guy has in the last few days made apologies for a serial rapist, belittled his victims, and is now tearing on poor people and me for caring about them.

Oh and one of the men here posted very nearly the same sentiments about BB’s disgusting nature and resulting perpetual INCEL status and didn’t get a lecture from you - fucking sexist.

Go into the controls and delete my account - now, today.

Goodbye.

If anyone ever posted something here to you even remotely in that vain, you'd have one of your regular screaming fits and leave permanently again, (for the 17 th. time.)

Since she's leaving — again — I feel I can post this without having her fire off the by-now standard "fuck you" response:
At your age and with your temperament, BSG, just how much are YOU getting these days?

I noticed you were crying poor in one of your posts the other day.  I've heard that there are people willing to pay serious money to be abused, belittled, and ridiculed; maybe you should find a couple of them and go into business for yourself as a dominatrix.  That sounds like something that would be right up your alley.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I think she loves you more. She ever reads your posts and responds. No one has gotten as many "fuck you" salutes as you.

I think BSG and I have a love/hate relationship. She loves to hate me. I'm just here for the entertainment.

You're right. I think most others would agree.

Anyway, I hope she comes back again. She may want to change her name to Boomerang Sometimes Gal, though.

I'm too lazy to go back and count and compare, but I'm sure the number of times she has suggested I engage in the reproductive act runs into the double digits.
Or maybe Joe Guy is right; BSG loves me more than she hates me and the "fuck you" responses were her way of making the initial overture, but I was just too naïve to recognize it.

She seems to be available. You should go for it.

I heard she likes long walks on the beach, preferably near a lighthouse by Lake Superior.

Thanks for the encouragement, but I think I'll take a pass on that.... (and I'm sure, wherever BSG may be lurking, that she's glad to know that too)

He may be right!! Look to the amazing scientist who knows lots, probably more than anyone else, who is doing bigly, for advice.

Ugh, was there ever a more transparent attempt at deflecting responsibility while pandering to racism and xenophobia? If you can imagine all the worst human tendencies,Trump just exudes them all, constantly. It's revolting.
GAH!
