rate. We have seen some very deadly viruses in the past 20 years that were stopped early but what if they had gotten out of control like this one? I certainly don't feel comfortable with Trump running the show. In fact I can't think of anyone more incompetent than he is for this. China needs to completely change the way their wet animal markets are run! They could wipe out more than half the human race if they are not careful one of these days. This shit is serious! Is there any pressure on China and other countries that run similar wet markets to regulate the crap out of them? If not there needs to be!
