They've been getting lots of urns too. And there was another video I saw of a chinese person filming outside their apartment with enormous controlled flames in the distance, implying a possible mass cremation.



So first, China is criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of the virus, and then they're criticized for doing way too much.  You guys need to make up your minds.

Agreed.  Both sides had losing propositions.

China is currently doing more for the people of NYC than the Federal Government.

Think about that. Trump fucked up so badly that China is now bailing him out. Loser doesn't even begin to describe it.

Republicans are an existential threat to human life.

It goes with how they have a history of acting, I've seen the videos of them sealing people and taking them off the street.
I'm not here to convince you and cite sources.
If you want to think China is acting humanely, that's fine. It goes against everything I've seen or read on china.

That's a retarded strawman. The problem isn't 'not doing enough', it's about every single thing they say being a lie.
The Chinese government is trying to tell the Chinese people that we brought the virus in. Foreigners are being disallowed from going to public places in China after being found healthy.
People that have been there for years.

Ummm...This is literally how capitalism works. You buy out the supply, corner the market, and then raise the price to make a profit. China is beating us at our own game.

Matter of fact, we were happy to sell those supplies not that long ago, while offering government cash to the companies making the sales.

The only difference is that was back when this was all a hoax and we could make a quick buck.

Why not? That's how capitalism works. If I pump pollution into your groundwater to make you sick, and then sell you the treatment, that's called good business sense.

It's also the profit model for a good chunk of modern pharmaceuticals, which is basically the only thing the US still leads in.

That's not cspitalism. It's an absurd caricature of capitalism that the left makes as a straw man.

We are becoming swear of Chinese tactics, so stores hopefully will be more likely to refuse to sell people amounts of stock to horde.

Capitalism isn't anarchy. It's about honest negotiation and exchange. That's not what China does when they have nationals here raid stores and sell food's back to china.

How could anyone trust China after their threatened to withhold medicine? I won't be surprised in the least if those masks are contaminated.

Exactly. Negotiation and exchange. That's exactly what I described. If I "negotiate" an "exchange" of goods for money, and then due to external factors, the value of those goods goes back up, then I can once again "exchange" those goods for money, after we "negotiate" a new, and higher, price. You don't get take-backsies.

And that's exactly what we did. We sold masks overseas for a slightly higher price because Coronavirus was a hoax. Now we realized that maybe we need some of those masks. Except the value of those masks has gone up due to external factors. Which is why we are negotiating once again, to buy our masks at a higher price. Because diaper donnie is a stupid, stupid businessman.

I think you misspelled "Trump".

Or maybe "US healthcare"?

You are making a straw man to suit your argument.

Just because one knows free markets distribute goods and decide prices more easily and accurately than a central authority doesn't mean all trade should be allowed.

If I had enough money to go to each store in my county and buy all of the products, then we'll them back at a masked up pric, that shouldn't be allowed.

Im not sure someone who just makes claims about a government sealing people into their doom without evidence has a leg tonstand on when complaining about straw men arguments.

Did you recently just learn what the phrase "straw man" means? You seem to use it in rebuttal of every post that does not align with yours.

You do realize our government lies just like their's right? How do you know the virus started in China? Oh because the news told you, just like some news says we planted it there.

Do you see the problem with your stance on this?

My take is exactly what I told you:  "Some were in fact sealed in in the early stages, but not to die; to try and prevent the disease from spreading.  They still got food and water."

We can see where it started. China tried to lie about it. They probably let it escape so they could.

The Chinese government lies more than ours. They have no accountability
