    The NY Times called it the Wuhan Virus, does that make it a racist organization?

    And when the goalposts for what is racist keep getting moved, how are we to know what real racism is?

    If a virus originates in a specific place, and is named after that place, how are we to call that racist?

    No one complains about the "Spanish" flu of 1918...

      If this rips thru the aged and vulnerable population as predicted, it could be a good thing in the long run. While distasteful, the facts remain that a lot of money is wasted on keeping old people alive just so you can go see them once or twice a year. It would take a load off Social Security, underfunded pensions. and the medical system in general. It would also move money down the line with inheritance and insurance payouts, to help recover from this. Beat me up all you want for this, but it is all true. If you don't think every insurance company doesn't have studies showing how they would benefit from different groups getting hit with this, you have your head buried in the sand.

          China is a communist terrorist nation. They should be labeled as such. We should not be trading with them, and our medicine should especially not be made there!

            Of coarse it wouldn't be good for individuals and families effected by the deaths, but it would clear dead weight from the aging population that is taking a huge portion of the healthcare and underfunded pension dollars.

                When you die you don’t know that you are dead, it’s only difficult for others. It is the same when you are stupid.

                    Again, while distasteful, it is a simple math equation. The older population takes a disproportionate amount of money and manpower to keep healthy and alive. If those numbers are reduced, it would take the strain off SS, healthcare and pensions. Think of me what you will, but the fact remains that less people taking large sums of time and money out of any system will be good for that system in the long run.

                      This country is rich enough to take care of them. It just doesn't have it priorities in the right place so, no this is not a good thing. I pray none of your family members get this virus and get really sick from it.

                        Distasteful? Nah. You don't give yourself nearly enough credit. Pure undiluted sh!t for brains is much more precise.

                        Similar ethos has been used to rationalize mass death of certain segments of population throughout history. The Spanish inquisition, the near annihilation of Native Americans, the German Holocaust are a few of the more popular. Which are your favorites, trippy?

                        When the mass deaths of a whole portion of society can be rationalized and justified on an economic basis there is good reason to question that persons grip on reality.

                        The scary part is these creature's exist, and for the most part function, disguised as normal human beings among us. The calming aspect is they are very few in numbers.

                              A human being is a human being, no matter what the age. That will apply to everyone.

                              Let's focus on illegals milking our system instead...
