I am not suggesting we ought to be hostile in any way to Chinese people, that would be ridiculous.
But we must never ever allow ourselves to forget what their "culture" (which it appears we are told is behind this) caused the world to go through.

The problem is, people *are* being hostile to the Chinese as a result of this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...virus_pandemic. Hostility, in a lot of cases, involving violence.
I'm not defending the Chinese. I have little doubt that their practices helped this virus spread to Humans, and while they are sharing data now, there is apparently some concern that they didn't share it quick enough. But I do think it wrong to blame invidividual people who may, or may not, have anything to do with it.
