It's hysterical and irrational, definitely. Unreasonable and irresponsible? Par for the course for these idiots. But dumbest? Nah. That one in my book is still either Nancy Pelosi's "We have to pass it to see what's in it" (referring to the ACA) or Hank Johnson's concerns about Guam tipping over.

That being said, I am curious why we aren't trying to expose the origins of the virus. I've seen some suggestions that it was stolen from a US facility and then modified in Wuhan. I've seen others claiming it was stolen from a Canadian facility and then modified in Wuhan. There's no question it is a man-made virus and it shares similarities to several others which have also - not coincidentally - started in China.

My hope is that this will be the final straw and the US will revoke Most Favored Nation trade status with China. It was a mistake to grant it in the first place given their theft of intellectual property, cyber warfare, and currency manipulation. Maybe we can finally use it to encourage them to come into the 21st century.

I don't think people are blaming Trump for the coronavirus outbreak. I think they may be saying that his response to this pandemic is to downplay it and his handling of it has been slipshod with his waffling statements.

Since no one has really had any exposure to this virus (and thus no vaccine to counteract it), no one has immunity to it.Therefore, the suggestion to wash hands thoroughly, sanitize surfaces, avoid crowds, etc. is valid.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

"Chinese official blames coronavirus outbreak on US military"

By Bob Fredericks New York Post March 12, 2020

"... Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian claimed Thursday that the US military might have brought the COVID-19 virus to the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak emerged in December.

" 'When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!' Zhao tweeted in English in one of a series of tweets critical of the US..."

Why do I think this is not simply a matter of a virus?
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Yes, blaming Trump is irrational. But the media and Dems have been irrational for decades and have been blaming Trump for everything since November 2016, so this is not a surprise.

Screaming about Chinese biological weapons?
First, there must be a smoking gun. Iron-clad proof. There is none evident at this time.
Second, many other countries have programs that are at least similar on the surface to the one the Chinese have. Those countries won't point the finger at China because without iron-clad evidence, they could be accused of being just as guilty as China.
