Is English not your first language?
My sentences get mangled like that too sometimes. It looks like she’s saying there will be more craziness before this is over.

“The family” here meaning a six year old, a two year old and their father. Two bystanders who tried to intervene were also stabbed before the attacker was subdued.

So what you are saying is that actual facts should be gleaned over for the sake of just in case a nut job does what nut jobs do? Should the President tell the world "yup, Ole Xi is right, China isn't lying nor did it derive from there, it was us all along." And who is so say where this demented man got his info. All media was calling it the Chinese or Wuhan virus just weeks ago. So get out of here with your righteous bs.
Trump playing hardball on China would seem a lot more sincere had he not tweeted things like this like a credulous moron in January.

Maybe if China hadn't lied through their teeth about it all. In January China said it wasn't airborne when they knew damn well it was. If they had done the right thing instead of trying to look good we wouldn't be in this mess. You think Trump is bad? Why don't you go over there and criticize their government. See how fast you disappear.

The president should be calling the virus Covid-19 because that"s the name of the virus. There's no reason to call it by a fake name.
There is when China is spreading false propoganda claiming our military purposely spread it to them. He's not calling it the "China virus" to be racist. He's defending this country. I'm sorry your hatred for Trump makes you too dense to get that.

The actual fact is that the name of the virus is COVID-19. It's not unreasonable to expect Trump to use the real name for the virus just like other world leaders are doing. Calling it by the wrong name makes both him and the United States look ignorant.

Gee, who would’ve ever thought China would lie and obfuscate? Not the President, apparently.

No one but that lunatic is responsible for what he did and I don't buy for a second he did it because covid was called the Chinese virus. Personally responsibility really needs to make a comeback.

Trumpers are morons and idiots. They feel they have been given cart blanche to be racists and bigots and beat up on minorities.

Trump was getting briefings back in January about this and the fact that China was likely downplaying the extent of the outbreak. During that same time, he was publicly praising President Xi and insisting this would go away. It was only after it was unavoidable to deny how bad it was going to be that he started calling it "the Chinese Virus", in an effort to deflect from his dismal response to it.
