The economy is in free fall, we fall farther behind the curve in terms of preparedness everyday, and Italy is the hardest hit country of any other country on this planet (we might change that).
The virus effects everyone from every country the same. It is a world-wide pandemic, that is threatening everyones well being - both financially and physically.
If you chose to focus on where it originated, stigmatizing the Chinese rather than focus of fighting it, you have to ask yourself why that is being done. In this country, this tactic of constantly tying it china is used to deflect blame on another country rather than take responsibility for our own leaders lack of actions. "I don't take responsibility at all".
We also have a long history of doing this in this country... calling diseases like HIV the "gay plague", and delaying our response to it until millions were dead. I don't fall into that group, so whatever!
It's covid-19, it's coming after your jobs and your health. That's the focus. Focus on anything else or deflect attention elsewhere and you're a moron.
