Boy the ole "racism crutch" didn't take long....never does.
The problem with your lie...is Wuhan is a city, not a race.
Is "Lyme Disease" racist? Named after a large outbreak of the disease occurred in Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut in the 1970s.
CNN racist too?

Texas 30 million
Less than 15,000 deaths
Keep throwing around 3 million US dead....that will never happen.
Oh the sky is falling or when that bull-sheet doesn't work lets change it to "the sky is gonna or might fall"
How about 12 to 0? It will stop at 50,000? It will go away in the summer? It is going to stop in August? It will go away this fall?
Stating that the sky is definitely going to fall isn't appropriate.
Stating that the sky absolutely won't fall is even more inappropriate.
We took measures in the beginning that ensured that the country wouldn't be infected before we knew how to treat it. Those measures were helpful.
We made some bad decisions in the summer about how to reopen, and about the importance of masks, which cost us lives. That is how we got up to 15,000 in Texas.
Testing is improving. Treatments are becoming more well understood. As both of things become more effective and more cost effective, we should be having discussions about how it enables us to approve other types of activities as we move forward, and how we avoid making mistakes that cause another explosion of cases and force things to shut down again.
When the number of cases explode, people stay home. That has a bigger impact on the economy than any mask or social distancing mandate. Everyone needs to recognize that if you want to keep the economy going, we need to keep the cases at a low number until we have the appropriate treatment mechanisms such that people aren't concerned about catching the disease. Not by lying to people about the severity of the disease or about the numbers. But by just taking some simple preventative measures to minimize the number of cases.
