[ExI] COVID-19 has now killed more Americans than Chinese

[William Flynn Wallace]

I am a member of 'the left' but do not support, nor have I even seen,
reports of claimed racism re China.  Why is it that only the weird, radical
left gets any news coverage?  I do know why.

Why are they lying?  You have to ask?  First they want to blame the whole
thing on us, and second they want to look as though they have done all the
right things in confronting the virus threat.

Why do the numbers even matter anyhow?
