Japan's Deputy Minister Weighs In on China/WHO Controversy: "China is Asshoe"
He didn't actually say that, exactly, but that's the gist of it. See below the fold.
China has meanwhile opened its "wet markets," where living animals, many exotic, are sold in open stalls and kept close to each other, making possible the interspecies jump that sets exotic new plagues loose on humanity.Cages full of cats and dogs waiting for slaughter and the unsanitary preparation of animals is again reportedly a common sight in Chinese food markets, often called wet-markets, according to in-country correspondents with the Daily Mail.Lindsey Graham demands China shut down its "disgusting" wet markets, or else face trade restrictions.
Sen. Lindsey Graham threatened that the US-China trade relationship will "change" if Beijing fails to shut down wet markets that sell wild, and at times live, animals that could transmit viruses to humans once eaten. Speaking during an interview on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said he would be writing a letter to the Chinese ambassador to tell him, "If you don’t shut those wet markets down, our trading relationship is going to change." Wet markets are an outdoor series of stalls selling meat, fish, produce and other perishable goods that are popular throughout Asia and Africa. Living and dead animals being sold at these markets include pigs, oxen, ducks, chickens, bats, dogs, monkeys and cats. "What can China do to help the world? Shut those markets down," Graham added when talking to the network.
Yesterday the Deputy Prime Minister of Japan said The WHO should be renamed the CHO (Chinese Health Organization) because they put China and Chinese political goals ahead of world health.

H1N1 (swine flu) is Chinese. Inter-species jump from pigs.
H5N1 and H79N (bird flus, the latter the big one from a few years ago) are both Chinese. H7N9 (which had its most-recent brutal outbreak in 2016-2017) came, probably, from ducks.
SARS 2 is Chinese. Inter-species jump from bats via another.
Chinese sanitation and food practices have a pretty bad recent history, eh? Thankfully, I am glad that our honest, upright, capable and forthright international organizations aren't infected with Chinese influence that cause them to ignore China's high-risk (for the globe and themselves) behavior.

[he] won the election against a well-qualified candidate despite widely covered accusations that he covered up three different cholera epidemics as health minister in Ethiopia.
You must not miss what happened next. On 18 October 2017, [he] announced that he had chosen Dictator President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, a notorious human rights violator to serve as a WHO Goodwill Ambassador.

Oh, dear. Joe thinks the *president* signs checks for transfer payments. When there is a physical check, it is signed with an auto-pen, and the name on it is the Secretary of the Treasury, not POTUS. And it is usually done via EFT, though it depends on how the recipient prefers it.
Joe is old enough to be getting Social Security. He should know this.

I've had bush meat. It is/was a delicacy. Its basically hunted food. And the timees we bought it, tge animals were very dead and had been smoked.
Not tge same thing as a wet market.
In fact a lot of us think Americans are savage for not thoroughly cooking your steaks.

Festering above-ground sewers masquerading as hybrid live-animal meat markets combined with high density and extremely easy travel. There are probably outbreaks all the time, they just didn't move so fast.
Or there is indeed something else going on. But the story of the 21st century as been "a lot of bad new diseases come from China" (yes, see also non-Chinese outbreaks like Zika and MERS - it isn't a problem exclusive to China). Regardless, the immediate answer is the same: repatriate everything we can and ice them out. Not just because they keep dumping poxes onto the world, but also because they're a giant enemy who wants us dead and have no institutional morality whatsoever.

Our plant in China had no heat, no bathrooms (just holes in the ground), and the local authorities collected taxes in cash.
A worker lost his arm in an accident and our Chinese managers fired him. We had to send an American to deliver compensation because we knew 100% for certain that the locals would steal from a one armed man.
China is asshoe.

I've seen that several times ... the industrial toilets do a different and more powerful kind of flush than most home toilets. Seems like an easy test might be useful ... various types of infected poop flushed ... hold the petri dish above the various style toilets ... results in 10 days.
Ten million dollar grants are given to connected students, for worthless studies on some tropical island paradise. Seems this toilet study might be more useful.
The spread from plumbing thing iirc, may have been is some multi-story apartment building ... my guess is more like leaks spreading contaminated fluids, where hand contact is then made.

Ok. My understanding was that "bush-meat" was anything from monkeys to ant-eaters that were shot or trapped. I have no evidence of this, but I also heard that Ebola virus originated in bush meat source. I could not care less what others think about American culinary routine. Our food supply is by far the safest in the world.

Embrace the power of "and."
Animals are property. I abhor the abuse of farm animals. I abhor the practice of eating domestic companion animals. I abhor hunting. But the animals are property of people, who rule the animal kingdom with an iron fist by the grace of G-d.
So, I look down on it, but can't bring myself to presume to forbid any of the above.

I was thinking about this and wondering if the possibility of the CCP Virus being a bioweapon wasn't the primary reason for Trump's willingness to go along with the hair-on-fire response. We will never know how much that factored into the decision. The look on his face during the press conferences is still grave. The CCP doesn't value human life or any other form of life for that matter.

I'm relatively fine with that, actually. It's the widespread refusal to keep the vast range of animals separate that I have a problem with. I also understand that it's a country of a billion people that lives under communism and therefore food is scarce, so most of the populace turns to "exotic" meat because it's the only protein they can get. (Just ask the North Koreans how boiled grass tastes.) But if China wants to be considered a First World nation, they need to practice First World sanitation.

Yeah, wet markets are an ongoing risk to the world, and the Communist government is apparently afraid to shut them down due to risk of social unrest. And I wouldn't be surprised if one reason they covered it up for two months is that they figured, if China was going to get it, so would everybody else.
But it really looks like the "Horseshoe Bat originated virus with added ACE-2 binding" escaped from a lab. And the only reason for such genetic fiddling is to make a bioweapon. It was an accident, they released it early. It's like an accidental explosion in a nuclear weapons shop.

Cultural preference, not evolution.
E.g., nearly every white American home has a pet, and a lot of people think not liking babies is totally fine but not fawning over puppies makes you Hitler or Trump. That is not the case with other American groups, e.g., African Americans don't seem nearly as enamored of pets as your average white American.
When I was growing up, only a few families I knew had pets, and they tended to be wealthy. And pets generally didn't come into the house.

The only real school reform that I've heard of in modern America was in New Orleans after Katrina. The schools had been destroyed, the city council was too incompetent to set up new ones quickly so the teachers left town the union and the school boards collapsed.

There are various places in the US called "Buffalo Leap," which in each case was given the name to mark the spot where Native Americans would herd vast wild herds of migrating buffalo off a cliff, killing thousands upon thousands of them. Then the natives would go around to the bottom of the cliff and generally just cut off some of the buffalos' tongues, and a few other choice body parts. 99.9% of the meat would go to waste, because it was vastly more meat than some small band of Indians could eat or carry or even make into pemmican.

Hold up there a minute.
The Indian tribes were pretty evil against each other. It wasn't the introduction of Whites that turned the Indian to evil or something.
Barbarian tribes are exactly that; barbarous.
They didn't need any helpful hints on how to skin people while still alive or some other really fascinatingly imaginative tortures that they performed on their enemies.
They did not have an EEOC around at the time ya know.

tended to be wealthy. And pets generally didn't come into the house.
=====
Even pets had jobs and that is how they evolved into pets. Shepherds herded, hunters hunted, terriers killed rats, etc. Useful companions and workers. Even growing up in the US, 50-60-70s, most in the Midwest farm type country never allowed dogs or cats in the house. They were indulged as companions, but not in the house (except when subzero).
Thank goodness Old Dog and New Old Dog do a useful job herding toddlers to earn their kibble. Old Cat keeps everyone in line. When little kids aren't here, they are all comatose recovering from their job.

Leap," which in each case was given the name to mark the spot where
Native Americans would herd vast wild herds of migrating buffalo off a
cliff, killing thousands upon thousands of them. Then the natives would
go around to the bottom of the cliff and generally just cut off some of
the buffalos' tongues, and a few other choice body parts. 99.9% of the
meat would go to waste, because it was vastly more meat than some small
band of Indians could eat or carry or even make into pemmican.

In fairness, I have had the good fortune of being invited over for dinner a couple of times by Chinese immigrants. One family was from Shanghai, one was from northern China, but in both cases the food was damn good. Maybe they toned it down for the round eyes but I don't think so.
On the other hand, I had a coworker once who was of Chinese descent. Her family went to China to visit relatives and she hated everything about it. Said it smelled, was dirty, the food was gross, she got food poisoning a couple of times and by the end was only eating rice.

The reason Western countries can squawk about how they have reduced their carbon emissions is because we outsourced our omissions to China.
Why do you think all of these climate pacts and agreements to reduce emissions leave China and India out of them?

Yeah, and despite being fairly small in numbers and limited in reach, they still did some very long-term harm to some areas. There were 1819240 kabillion buffalo in the plains largely because they natives hunted competitive creatures to extinction. There are spots in the Appalachian mountains where trees STILL don't grow because of native actions damaging the region.
They weren't noble or good or holy or special. They were just people. People who, for some reason, spent 14,000 years in a resource-rich area and never even developed the wheel (except as a decoration). They were stone age even in their greatest civilizations (Anasazi, Aztec, Iroquois, etc).

but aren't they having online classes?

Jr. Black is in Grad School at Clemson. And yes, they are doing classes online. I don't know how USC is handling it, but assume it's similar. I honestly don't expect us to get any kind of discount on his tuition, even though it's been reduced to this. Hey, if he can graduate, and can get through his CPA exams fine, I won't mind. I do wonder, though, how much learning is actually being jeopardized because of the way classes are going now. I just want him to know what he needs to know and pass!

I didn't find the article telling students that paid full tuition and now don't have buildings, dorms, etc. to go f*ck themselves, but I did find this:
"During a virtual town hall with staff and faculty earlier this week, University of South Carolina President Bob Caslen shared some estimates.
"The financial impact of this pandemic is estimated -- through the end of the semester -- $20 to $40 million," he said."
--
The schools are going to need MORE money because they are pretty much completely closed down.
Go ahead and square that circle.

I've never heard it explicitly, but I strongly suspect that resource rich areas that are easy to live in are less conducive to developing technology than slightly less hospitable ones. If the place you live is relatively easy to survive in, you don't need to bother with advanced science and engineering. You don't want your environment too hard, because then you pretty much always have a pressing environmental factor that is likely to kill you and everyone you love and you don't have the luxury of devoting time to thinking about advancing technology either.
It's that sweet spot in the middle where you get people that have a motivation, but still the ability to innovate.

Will you answer too?
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
That means I offer my life to you to be my own
If you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
And I hear your answering echo so dear

COVID-19 is the name that was adopted for public health communications.

I've never even heard of the phrase until this plague descended upon us.
And then I had the misfortune of watching a few minutes of film from an actual wet market and was simply aghast at what I saw. Yeah, the petri dish of filth. But those precious animals, exotic young cats, raccoons absolutely stuffed into cages together, hacked up bat parts, armadillos squirming to get away before being sliced. Just sick. To do what they do to live animals. I'm still seeing that beautiful, young exotic cat (maybe a bobcat) in a cage with a sweet face knowing it's going to be butchered. I wish I hadn't seen it.
Granted, I never liked seeing those lobsters in the Red Lobster tanks, but this is magnitudes worse.

Yep. It's a Unesco World Heritage Site, too. My home is about 25 miles from the Dry Island buffalo jump, which has the distinction of being the highest one in the Province, but it was used only sporadically.

That would be very tough. I can see both sides too.
I knew a couple where the husband was a blond-haired, blue-eyed American and the wife was an immigrant from Korea. Her parents were not real happy that they were seeing each other as they preferred her to marry a Korean. However, her mother said invite him to dinner.
She made all their ethnic favorites, complete with kimchi and hot hot hot everything. He loved it. He wolfed it all down and asked for seconds. Her mother and father then happily gave their blessing to the marriage.

The main driver behind Kyoto was to take down the USA. This was made clear at the time, but hidden by the Clinton Admin. They discussed it openly. (this was when the US was the only economy in the world which was the powerhouse.)
It morphed into control of the world economy, and the ability to move a lot of money around. Wall street loves this shit.

That's a bingo.
How do you think China went from a GDP of just under 200 billion in 1980 to being an 15 trillion dollar economy just 40 years later?
The Western turned pretty much all large scale manufacturing over to them.
They make virtually everything we use today.
Even our medical supplies, which they are being dicks about.
Which should go a long way towards making the decision to take manufacturing back a no brainer.
But as they say, we shall see.

I love hot food. Love it. But, who wouldn't choke it down to get a good housewife, even if he hated it?
I have to cut out the spice because I found the only black American who hates spicy food. No hot sauce. No hot wings. Gotta buy the mild taco seasoning, instead of making my own, hot seasoning... It's horrible. It sucks, but that's life.

Welcome to most of the rest of the world.
You'll see live chickens, or goats, or sheep, sold all around Africa, South America, Asia...
Basically everywhere BUT the US and parts of Europe.
Its simple economics there. They don't have enough electricity for large scale refrigeration, so they have to keep animals alive until just before they are going to eat them.
I even saw this in the Arab quarter of Haifa when I was in Israel in the early 80's.

I kid about the deepest darkest thing. I was privileged /blessed to grow up well provided for, and I had such a fun childhood. I know that cannot be said about the majority of Africans, but some people think we are still all jungle and everyone grows up in the dark ages.

They shut down the last lead smelter in the USA a few years ago due to excessive EPA regulations. But it would not be hard to start one up again. It's not rocket science. And a new-built smelter could be designed to be clean enough.
