NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said Wednesday that the COVID-19 coronavirus “is a bat virus, not a China virus.”
He also argued that “China certainly feels that” referring to the virus as the “Chinese virus” amounts to “scapegoating.”
Well, let’s not offend the communists who hid the truth about the virus and let it spread to the world!
“It’s easy to scapegoat people, and that is what has always happened when there have been pandemics or epidemics: that foreigners are attacked, foreigners sometimes physically attacked,” Engel said on MSNBC Wednesday.
“If you look at what happened during the Middle Ages, there was lots and lots of scapegoating against an ethnic group or a religious group whenever there were pandemics that affected society and frightened a lot of people, and China certainly feels that that is what is happening now with people calling it the ‘Wuhan flu’ or the ‘Wuhan virus’ or the ‘China virus,’” Engel added.
“This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats,” he continued. “This is a bat virus, not a China virus.”
“It doesn’t speak Chinese,” Engle said. “It doesn’t target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth.”
What an elitist buffoon.
The target is the virus and the communists, not the very highly respected Chinese people and these Democrat lunatics know it.

Fine. It’s a Chinese bat virus
A bat virus does not have gene splices in it and does not originate in a city with a major biological weapons facility.
Apparently this NBC propaganda expert has “bats in his belfry” !!!

Why would he NOT mention “Jews” when speaking of the plague. It’s well known.
Were they migratory bats???? Who had them in their markets??? By “keeping” the name “Wuhan” it lays responsibility to where it came from, and by the same token, to be wary in the future. Using Wuhan is precautionary.
Not all Chinese are accepting his take.

Useful idiots that the Communists use all the time to spread their propaganda, just like old time with the Russians.
