how is telling the truth racist?
it did originate in china and either came from the habit of eating anything that has a pulse or from the biological lab allowing samples to get out out.

and no, trump never said the virus was man made. He did say there was evidence it got out of the lab. The lab is know to be testing bat virus's

What gives anyone the right to eat anything that comes along with out having some care for it and if you have to eat it, don't deliberately torture it to 'add more flavour'.

Hello Flix, good to hear from you, hope you are well.
Have you heard anything from the others - Nicko, Major, Costa, Lord Edmund, Dragonfly?

Nicko is still around, Major, Costa and Dragonfly I don't see around - not as those names anyway. Lord Edmund  I think has taken a step back due to health issues he drops in now and again.
I'm doing ok, thought I'd just about retired but I'm back helping out which has been full time again due to this virus.
Hope you and yours are all well.

You and Trump both seem to have Cognitive Dissonance.
You flip between two very different positions.
A) C19 isn't a killer virus, the lockdown isn't necessary
B) C19 is a killer, and it's all the fault of the Chinese

It makes debate quite difficult, like arguing with a person who is schizophrenic

thats not what cognitve dissanance is

and those are two different ideas that dont contradict one another

lockdown isnt necessary. the chinese are at fault.
