Quote:A former European Society of Virology doctor was quoted in a CNN article suggesting that fears of being labeled racist contributed to the lack of readiness and the devastating spread of the coronavirus in Italy.

"There was a proposal to isolate people coming from the epicenter, coming from China," European Society of Virology’s Dr. Giorgio Palu said. "Then it became seen as racist, but they were people coming from the outbreak."

Palu concluded that fear led to the current situation and added that the country was "lazy in the beginning” and referenced “too much politics in Italy."

Palu said he believes the lockdown should have been wider and stricter earlier and should be tighter now as millions of Italians are currently being forced to stay home.

"We should have done more diagnostic tests in Lombardy where there was a big nucleus," Palu said “There is no sense in trying to go to the supermarket once a week. You have to limit your time out. Isolation is the key thing."

Italy has been one of the hardest-hit countries in the world during the coronavirus crisis and has witnessed over 4,000 deaths and almost 50,000 confirmed cases.

Media outlets in the United States have been accused of injecting race into the discussion, as well, criticizing President Trump for pointing out that the coronavirus originated in China.

"I didn't appreciate the fact that China was saying that our military gave it to them. Our military did not give it to anybody," he said in defense of using the term “Chinese virus.”

"China was putting out information, which was false, that our military gave this to them. That was false. And, rather than having an argument, I said I had to call it where it came from. It did come from China. So, I think it's a very accurate term," he said.

Welp.

Hopefully this is the death knell to all the dancing on hot coals and PC garbage that’s infected this country since around 1992 or even prior.

Yup. Call a spade a spade. As in shovel, asssholes, not some conjured up racissss! term. Boys will be boys. Not some binary, fluid, subjective term that might call that boy a someonethatwillidentifylater.

May this all die and end now. We’ll ALL be far be better off for it.
Let the .3% be the .3%. Then leave the rest of us alone.

Thx.

If you read deeply on the subject, there are a number of indications that George Orwell wrote 1984 as a satirical protest against the PC of his day. If you think about it, there isn't that much difference between Big Brother and PC. And we are way, way, way further along that line today than we were when Orwell wrote it.

If we were really that far down the 1984 road then HRC would president instead Trump. There is still an active an credible resistance to the 'goodthink' in the U.S. that wasn't present in Orwell's dystopia.

Which IMO is why the establishment hates Trump so much.

It's not so much that they hate Trump but what is victory revealed. That they are not as close as they thought with their goals and that there is clear dissension within their camp.
