I dont feel #45's remark "The Chinese Virus" is racist. It did originate in China. I honestly believe the virus hit NY 1st by way of Europe; May wealthy Chinese visited Europe in early fall 2019. They virus was either transmitted by Europeans traveling to the East coast and/or Americans visiting China then returning to the East coast. Another sign is China instructed all their embassy employees to purchase as much PPE they could get their hands on.
India reported in late April China, as far back as Nov/Dec 2019 was buying an excessive amt of a certain type of cloth to manufacture masks. They were trying to corral the market on masks
