A Republican official in Kansas this week said that his state has been spared the worst of the coronavirus pandemic so far because it doesnt have as many Chinese people as other states and countries around the world.
The Kansas City Star reports that Marvin Rodriguez, the Republican Chairman of the Riley County Commissioners, said that Kansass problems with the virus would be much worse if it had a large number of Chinese immigrants like they have in Italy.
Theres a garment industry and a lot of Chinese, Rodriguez said of Italy. If we were like Italy, wed have it already.
Rodriguez also seemed to suggest that he believed China intentionally put out the virus.

What an absolute f**k wad..................... put two and two together....................
I just wonder if he knows where the 1918 Spanish Flue came from.................
While its unlikely that the Spanish Flu originated in Spain, scientists are still unsure of its source. France, China and Britain have all been suggested as the potential birthplace of the virus, as has the United States, where the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas on March 11, 1918. Researchers have also conducted extensive studies on the remains of victims of the pandemic, but they have yet to discover why the strain that ravaged the world in 1918 was so lethal.
