Why don’t they emphasize it might be the British variant.
We not the origins, between western countries and China (Because they have been at war (trade)) one of the two biologically created it.
It’s the American variant “origins” virus. How dare they, absurd.
As much as we can say China is disingenuous and not transparent therefore shouldn’t be trust, U.S is not exempt from this.
The two people that have this variant haven’t travelled to South Africa or been in contact with a South African.
U.S is just as disingenuous as China. After all China doesn’t even have one soldier in any nation across the world (under the guise of bringing democracy, leaving ruins in already poor nations playing gods). Am sour
