That's exactly as stupid as the chinese virus shit, and panders to the exact same kind of people. Just the ones living in China.
Political propaganda directly interfering with public health. Xenophobic bigotry. These are problems all around the world
China allows wet markets to go on. Until they ban them entirely they can share some of the blame.
I will say this. I was like 8 or 9 around this time and it was scary shit. We thought you could get it touching or kissing. Get it in the pool. Shit was crazy. I don't think ANY administration in real time would have done a good job. But some of the stuff I've read makes me sick in regards to some in that administration.
God man, I seriously remember us kids in school were seriously scared about getting it. And I do not remember any adults actually talking to us about it
It was a strong era on the cultural front tho.

NoHas CNN also pushed this one as well?
But the US did do the most about it in the end. Gilead science for the winDunno about that, but the US government laughed about it and did nothing for years.
Remember when i asked what would happen if all the worlds media and all the worlds leaders turned on America
It was a strong era on the cultural front tho.

Dont forget about the 6 trillion we sold our grandchildren's great grand children out for while hiding out in our homes, afraid of the boogeyman.So what China?
We also bankrupted an entire generation of American citizens during the ongoing trillion dollar oil wars in the Middle East.
So both botched how they responded to viruses. Reagan administration knew of the problem, then proceeded to willfully ignore and downplay the fact for several years. No amount of historical revision is going to change that fact. China concealed human to human transmission for 3 critical weeks before finally admitting they had a problem. No amount of historical revision will change that either.They didn't even know what it was and how it was being transmitted until 1983. Chinese officials knew there was human to human transmission in December. They only informed the WHO that the virus may be transmitting from person to person on Jan 20th. Chinese officials locked down Wuhan but allowed Chinese flights out of the country.
