Plus tens of thousands or more dead globally and at least 7 trillion dollars in cost to the US economy. The Chicom propaganda machine is already trying to spin this as a not China's fault story. Fukc them! There will be a lot of angry people staring these corrupt, lying Chicom dogs in the eye when this is over. If they think this will not come at a price, they not only dishonest, but also stupid.
