I don't mind being attacked. I take it up as a challenge to "re-educate" them! A lot of time, I would said how do you know? They would said the paper says...
So you don't really know... an so forth.
It can be fun. But you got to becareful or you could loose friends. So it all depends who there are.
This must be the infamously delayed payments so they can put his signature on the cheque!
Below is an article on the outcome of the EU meeting on Monday. As I predicted, it looked like an EU only affair. 7 EU countries and the EC pledged Euro 7.4 B to develop a coronavirus vaccine and treatments.
* US did not attend
* China was represented by her EU ambassador but seemed to be just an observer.
* No mention of UK attending or pledging any money.
Contrary to Australian papers and Pompeo. They are really grasping at straws.
Also according to guardian, the WHO has not recieved any info stated by the US.
WHO says has no proof from US on ‘speculative’ Wuhan lab claims
The World Health Organization said Monday that Washington had provided no evidence to support “speculative” claims by the US president that the new coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab, AFP reports.
“We have not received any data or specific evidence from the United States government relating to the purported origin of the virus - so from our perspective, this remains speculative,” WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan told a virtual briefing.
Scientists believe the killer virus jumped from animals to humans, emerging in China late last year, possibly from a market in Wuhan selling exotic animals for meat.
But US President Donald Trump, increasingly critical of China’s management of the first outbreak, claims to have proof it started in a Wuhan laboratory.
And US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday said “enormous evidence” backed up that claim, which China has vehemently denied.
“Like any evidence-based organisation, we would be very willing to receive any information that purports to the origin of the virus,” Ryan said, stressing that this was “a very important piece of public health information for future control.
“If that data and evidence is available, then it will be for the United States government to decide whether and when it can be shared, but it is difficult for the WHO to operate in an information vacuum in that regard,” he added.

Great news for China, it means that in confronting China over coronavirus the us could not expect unwavering support from its closest allies
Best case scenario is those countries stay neutral and the us just end up isolating itself
Please do not make multiple short posts in such close sequence.
I've warned you and others before to not do this.
The next time this happens there will be a one month ban.

The article completely ignores the fact that China was a dirt-poor country in 1989, but it is now the world's largest economy in PPP terms. China has the option of delaying interest payment on loans for poor countries, forgiving interest payment, forgiving part of the loans, or even having a debt jubilee and canceling entire loans for selected countries. These will surely set China apart from all those ruthless former imperialist hypocrites who exploited poor countries mercilessly all over the world in the past.
Yep, even the five-eyes countries do not believe the Trump administration:
On the other hand, as the situation worsens in the U.S., as predicted by two models, expect more vitriol from the Trump administration:
Situation in the U.S. on 5/4:
Situation in China on 5/4, excluding HK, Macau, and TW:

With small sample only 9 people it is preposterous to suggest that Guangdong is the origin of Corona virus The study sample should be thousand if not ten of thousand
