Ya. That’s what tRump ALWAYS does, if it’s negative.

If it’s positive, he always tries to take credit for it.

Such is the mark of a counter-dependent...

@Borgovic Did the USA bother to help the world in 1918, when it gave us all a deadly new flu, originating from a poultry farmer?
At least the Chinese are doing their best to help.

@Petter [history.com]

[cdc.gov]

@SpikeTalon Both sites fail to admit that the virus ORIGINATED in the USA, first of all infecting US soldiers in training camps, who despite bring sick were still shipped to Europe, where they infected others.
It was called "Spanish Flu" because all the countries involved in the great war suppressed the news. When it reached neutral Spain, the pandemic was publicly acknowledged.

Interesting initiative from China. A communist country where forced organ donation is enforced by the socialist army. They developed a nice virus, now working on the distribution of killer medications! Mao at his best!

@Petter My point there was that your assumption the US did nothing to help others was incorrect. Back in 1918 medical science was not like it is nowadays not to mention that we have various social media platforms to stay connected in the world, and back in those days people did not travel far away like they do nowadays. There were measures in place back in 1918 in an effort to help spread the virus, if otherwise it could have been far worse than it was. At this point China doesn't have a choice but to help other countries, because if they don't it wouldn't look good for them, so stop pretending they are helping other countries due to them having a guilty conscience etc...

@zesty What hallucinogen are you on? Where can I get some?
Stop believing social media conspiracy theories and concentrate on science and logic.

@SpikeTalon Guilty conscience? Utter balderdash.
Like the USA they have no conscience. This is hard business common sense on their part. Sick customers on national lockdowns don't make good trading partners.

@Petter Business matters are part of the equation... and so is potential backlash for not doing enough. That still doesn't remove the fact that back in 1918 the US did take measures to help curb the spread of that disease, and your above remark on that was wrong, and don't think that I didn't notice you avoiding that. That was my original point.

@Petter Scientific and logical thinking leads to the conclusions outlined in my silly little notes. Consider: a country of billions of people with a lifelong leader which is a panda bear! What is wrong with this pic?

@SpikeTalon Every country, in 1918, took measures to curb the spread as best they could. Can you show me anything that singles out America as going out of its way to help other nations curb their own spread? I cannot find any references to it.
That is why I left it out.

@zesty You could almost be describing the USA there. A despotic leader who is an orange!

@Petter I was directly responding to your above comment where you asked did the USA bother to help the world in 1918, and I cited two sources that described the measures the US took in an effort to minimize spreading of the flu. It's not a matter of singling out anything special the US did that other countries didn't do, it was a matter of me responding to your second comment on this thread, and in that comment you didn't mention anything about every country taking measures.

@Petter Since you have such a poor memory, here is a screenshot of the comment I am talking about. I cited two sources that supplied evidence that contradicted your statement, which implied the US didn't do anything about the 1918 epidemic. I'm not stupid Petter, I can tell when someone is trying to save face when they've been proven wrong...

@SpikeTalon Your two links did not show the USA helping the world. In fact they showed how places like Philadelphia were inept, whilst St Louis was more astute.
If you look at my very first comment the one to which you replied it reads
Plus supplying Italy with special new medications, doctors, information, protective gear, etc. and offering the same to other countries, including the US.
So where is your rationale? Did the US help the world in the 1918 flu? Has it helped the world in this flu? NO!
Indeed, it even refused to use a WHO coronavirus test already developed, in favour of developing their own, with seriously detrimental consequences.
China, on the other hand, having suffered a head start, is offering its assistance around the world.
So what are you disputing, exactly?

@Petter Good comeback! But the orange leader at least has a sexy wife. Have you seen Mrs. China?

@Petter Apparently you didn't read the links then, because they did detail the efforts of the US to contain the flu in 1918. I wasn't talking about what they are doing now, that was your point not mine. Like I said before I'm no fool, you were changing your claims in each comment you made. Keep in mind that back in 1918 medical science was not like it is today and people didn't do as much overseas traveling as nowadays. In all fairness, you cannot compare what they did some one hundred years back to what we are capable of doing today.

@SpikeTalon They detailed the efforts of the US to contain the virus IN THE USA. That is not the same as my assertion that the US did not help the world. You are fixated on proving me to be at fault. I have been trying my best to explain this point in every possible way I can.
CHINA IS GOING OUT OF ITS WAY TO HELP THE WORLD.

@Petter Back in 1918 technology was limited and people didn't travel to other countries as often, and today if something like that were to originate in the US I don't doubt they would do what they can to help other countries if the disease spread out. The US gives aid money to quite a few countries, namely Israel, much to my dismay. You cannot reasonably compare the two scenarios as the timeframe between them is too vast. China isn't helping others because they are good people. The measures the US took in 1918 most certainly benefitted other countries, and was alot better than doing absolutely nothing at all.

@zesty My eyes are already below par, I do not wish to stress them further.

@Petter ok

@zesty joke. Gazing at mrs Xi would cause blindness!

@Petter Perhaps you need a Made in China pair of sunglasses.

@zesty Will these do? Cost me almost $5. Is my face suitably Chinese here?
