You have a EXTREMELY POOR UNDERSTANDING of the crisis, if you think, "Chinese People refuse to be clean".
Like you - I am QUITE SADDEN that there have been FAR TOO MANY CASES + DEATHS in Italy, because I studied there.
But it is WRONG for Trump to incite violence TOWARD ASIAN AMERICANS, by using the term "Chinese Virus",
when no Democrat uses that term. In 2017, Trump gutted Obama's Pandemic Task Force, exacerbating Trump's
ALREADY INAPPROPRIATE + DEFICIENT RESPONSE to the virus. His m. o. ALWAYS is, deflecting the blame to others.
Taiwan, which is closer, but just as antagonistic to Beijing as Trump, HAVE SUCCESSFULLY controlled the virus.
But I was MOST LIVID when Travel 4k attacked Kim H, and YOU; Kim H + I were having a pleasant exchange, when
Travel 4k, whom is a loser, STUCK HIS FAT NOSE IN, ONLY TO RIDICULE a GOOD PERSON.
The Chinese first emigrated here in 1820; since then, Chinese Americans have suffered many injustices. What my
Forefathers experienced were DEFINITELY MORE TRAUMATIC, than our present situation. WE are a strong people;
we will get through the present crisis.

Hope you are getting less hate, since non Asian-Americans now are dropping like flies, bc of the imbecile in chief.
There is an online website, where you can report, CONFIDENTIALLY, your racist attacks : STOP AAIP HATE
As I posted earlier, ALWAYS, have your phone ready to film those bigots. If you are uncertain, whether you will be
attacked or not, JUST FILM THEM; you can always delete it later, if they leave you alone. STAY SAFE + HEALTHY.

Geographically it started in China, but when Trump, a racist + a bully, keep REPEATING "Chinese Virus",
he is INCITING Americans, + prompting them to perpetrate VIOLENCE against Asian-Americans,
like, the LA young school boy, whom was BEATEN SO BADLY, by a bunch of school bullies, that the poor kid
had to be hospitalized.

You, your friend + your parents, WILL BE FINE + SAFE, because you are smart, staying @ home.
Does your friend have enough surgical masks, in the event, it is necessary for her/him to leave the house?
If not, post me + I will give you, via my email, a link to make an easy DIY mask, from things you most likely have @
home already. GOOD LUCK.

Firstly, I think WE BOTH SHOULD NOT, refer to either community, Black or Asian, as monolithic; we know, that in
both groups, there are the filthy rich + the hard working poor.
I + many other Asian Americans, sided with Akai Gurley, when the Chinese American Cop, accidentally shot him,
several years back, in NYC.
But I also THINK IT IS WRONG, for any minority, to say "Now you will know how we feel", BECAUSE WE BOTH HAVE
BEEN RECIPIENT OF RACISM - WE ALREADY KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
To write, that it is ONLY NOW, we Asians will FINALLY UNDERSTAND, how Blacks have been abused,
is akin to dismissing the history of injustice toward Asian- Americans.

Income DOES PLAY A ROLE IN DISCRIMINATION; don't tell me that Beyonce IS TREATED THE SAME WAY, as one
whom faces continual racism, in your community.
Your term of "OUTWARD RACISM" indicates that somehow you really don't acknowledge our ALSO LONG HISTORY
OF RACISM IN THE US, because the Coronavirus WAS NOT AROUND during the LA Massacre of 1871, the Chinese
Exclusion Act, the Internment of Japanese Americans, the 1992 Riots in Koreatown + LA.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I KNEW what a mendacious, irresponsible egomaniac trump is, even long before "The Apprentice".
Also in 2016, I WROTE IN BERNIE SANDERS.

Firstly, I think, IT IS VERY WRONG OF YOU TO POST, "... they got what was coming to them.",
because, I COULD VERY WELL, WRITE THE SAME THING, about the difficult situation the US, is in right now.
I could also ask you, why
: there are mass shootings in the US every so often?
: the States is the richest country in the world - but the US has an infant mortality comparable to a 3rd world country,
- American Students rank poorly, compared to other wealthy nations
There are several reasons why Chinese eat certain animals, + the issue is very complex.
You should know, IT IS ONLY RECENTLY, that China has lifted hundreds of millions Chinese out of poverty.
But notwithstanding, there are STILL MANY AREAS of China where people are very poor; so people eat what they have
access to.
Some Chinese, unfortunately, still eat dog, which breaks my heart, because I have the sweetest little doggie.
I recently saw a video where the Chinese Gov't banned the consumption of dogs, + there are advocates like
Ms Wang Li Qun, whom rescues dogs, + are are working to end the practice.
Chinese don't eat cats. The 1 exception is Civet Cat, which was responsible for the SARS Epidemic; I think this practice is rare.
If you wiki bat consumption, you will see that this also is rare in China; unfortunately SOME VERY STUPID CHINESE,
like a female Chinese celebrity, went on vacation to Padua a Southeast Asian Island, + Instagram a pic of herself
eating a bat, leading to many thinking, ALL Chinese eat bats.
As I wrote earlier, it is only in the last 2-3 decades, that China's population had become richer.
Among them, are the nouveau riche; some of them are NAUSEATING CRASS, ATTENTION/STATUS SEEKING MORONS,
whom mistakenly think, they "ARE SPECIAL + SUPERIOR", because they have the money to eat something, the average
Chinese doesn't.
On the side, I know "Gale" is usually a name for females, but you seem to be a male, from your icon.

@sherylosabel6847
I DISAGREE.
To answer your question, I refer to the LA Times Piece, "Trump Racist Comments are fueling Hate Crimes Against
Asian-Americans".
I DO FEEL BAD, about all the families, HERE + ABROAD (esp Italy) that have been tragically affected, esp since
our present crisis, WAS UNNECESSARY, + COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, because Trump;
-in 2017 gutted Obama's Pandemic Task Force, but was forced to reinstated it several days ago, because
our crisis has SEVERELY DETERIORATED. (can give you ref article)
-was stupidly dismissive of Covid 19 @ the beginning. Had we in 1/2020, started to accumulated ventilators (which the
States are competing against each other for now) PPE + other equipment that our frontline doctors, nurses, + their
patient sorely need, we would not be in our present predicament.
It is only RECENTLY that your president issued the Defense Protection Act, to belatedly mandate American Companies
DO THEIR CIVIC DUTY, + ramp up the production of life saving equipment that our medical community SO SORELY NEEDS.
Amidst our national tragedy, trump during a recent press conference bragged that he is #1 on Facebook - not only is this
IRRELEVANT + INAPPROPRIATE, BUT HE IS THE ONE, THAT IS TRULY DISRESPECTFUL, because he values his "POPULARITY"
+ money, more than his fellow citizens.
Bet you are not laughing now, as you were, one week ago.

You SHOULD KNOW, as your president was childishly bragging how "famous" he is on Facebook :
- Gov Cuomo of NY, with the help of The Asia Society + Ambassador Huang Ping, negotiated for China to
DONATE 1000 URGENTLY NEEDED, LIFE-SAVING VENTILATORS to NYS.
- Gov Kate Brown of Oregon, is MAGNANIMOUSLY DONATING 140 VENTILATORS, to NYS
I Am sure you will write THAT CHINA SHOULD MAKE THIS DONATION.
China was : - perturbed by your president's use of "Chinese Virus" + RIGHTFULLY SO
- + FULLY AWARE OF THE RESULTING 100 RACIAL ATTACKS DAILY upon Asians-Americans.
Therefore, China REALLY DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE ANY DONATION AT ALL.
But because Gov Cuomo is a competent adult leader, + not an irresponsible bully/crybaby, like your president,
China is donating the valuable ventilators.
What Gov Brown is doing, is EXACTLY WHAT YOUR president SHOULD BE DOING; however he thinks IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT HIS "FACEBOOK POPULARITY", THEN ACTUALLY
LEAD OUR COUNTRY, DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

Firstly, they are called "province", not state.
Wuhan, in Hubei Province, was locked down, helped the containment of the virus.
East Asians tend to wear face masks, LONG BEFORE Covid 19.
The masks really decreased community spread.
Though S. Korea + Japan, initially had many cases; with masks + other measures, the cases have decreased.
The PROBLEM with the US + Europe, nobody was wearing masks.
Unfortunately, now with so many Americans + European dying, we are FINALLY wearing protective masks.

@Caroline C
Yes, what you wrote would nullify the "ASSumption' that Chinese are spreading the virus.
Look, Tom Hanks got infected when he was in Australia; no blame, just writing a fact.
In NY State, the epicenter is Young Israel, in New Rochelle - another fact.
I think the other reason NY State has the most cases is because the East Coast is closer ( than the West) to Europe.
NYC is a destination, for many people in Europe, of all races.
Also, many Americans were infected, while traveling abroad in Asia + Europe.
A quasi-example is Trudeau's wife got infected when she was in Britain.
I would bet money, on the statement, that a majority of Covid 19 in the US, are not from Chinese.
I don't know about Daniel, but for a time, South Korea had lots of cases.

You can't read my posts BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT.
Ergo, you can't think of another synonyms for "sucks", such as poor, inaccurate, deficient, lacking, or even, bad.
You are SUCH A COWARDLY CRYBABY; you INITIALLY MAKE A BIGOTED POST, + now you are "playing the victim" -
SO TYPICAL of your "urban community".
Also, the way "you reason" with others, is, you start by disparaging them; another sign of your IGNORANCE.
Reasonable people, DON'T INSULT the other party, with their first sentence.
