The president of the Italian professional order of biologists claims that the Italian virus is different from the Chinese one and it originated from Italian zootechnical industry (animal farming).

It's too early for conclusions like yours...

@freemo

We, Italy, are actually a colony of the US Empire.

Wars by USA after WWII:

1950–1953 Korean War
1960–1975 Vietnam War
1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion (Cuba)
1983 Grenada
1989 US Invasion of Panama
1990–1991 Persian Gulf War
1995–1996 Intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina
2001–present Invasion of Afghanistan
2003–2011 Invasion of Iraq
2004–present War in Northwest Pakistan
2007–present Somalia and Northeastern Kenya
2009–2016 Operation Ocean Shield (Indian Ocean)
2011 Intervention in Libya
2011–2017 Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda
2014–2017 US-led Intervention in Iraq
2014–present US-led intervention in Syria
2015–present Yemeni Civil War
2015–present US intervention in Libya

Not to mention what USA did to Italy between in the '70 and '80, the creation of European Union that is actually a genocide of European people, Greek ones in particular, the International Monetary Funds that is doing the same in Africa... I can continue but tell me if this is all new to you.

With respect, comparing China to US is ridiculous, it's like comparing Napoleon to Hitler.

(hey it's great here there isn't a character limit! Many thanks!!)

First of all I don't feel this division between my people and chinese people, we are all humans and this could had happened to every country in the world. My criticism is always towards governaments and not people. Nobody in China deserved this, no matter how bad their governament is.

Also I think yours are too early assumptions: a few years ago a virus research center was opened in Wuhan. As the Western world felt that China was appropriating scientific research conducted in there, an agreement was made to share more research in this area and this agreement included the construction of this laboratory in Wuhan. China would have shared its resources with the Western countries but the latter, through the World Health Organization, would have had some control over this laboratory.

A few months ago there was a news about a coronavirus transfered from USA to this laboratory without informing the China, who expressed disappointment and we didn't get any further news on this.

Later right in Wuhan appears the famous Covid-19.

Also in 2017 the World Bank in collaboration with the already mentioned WHO issued the so called Pandemic Bonds, that were basically a bet there would had been a coronavirus epidemic, probably from China, for at least 12 weeks and between 2020 and 2022.

So there is chance this was planned on some degree by Western organizations and maybe they lost control of the phenomenon.

Little update:

Xiaomi donates tens of thousands of masks to Italy; "We are waves of the same sea, leaves of the same tree, flowers of the same garden"

No news from Western politically correct corporations like Apple, Google, Microsoft and so on, they are in just when it's a matter of exploiting workers rights in China.

We should think about what's worse: the Chinese government or our neoliberist and neofeudal world?

And in the meanwhile Assange...

@freemo @HarryChenPhD @elia

Let me say that while China is a human rights violator this is nothing compared to the US Empire and what it did for decades and is currently doing to the rest of the world, in addition to their hypocrisy in presenting their selves as defenders of democracy.

Also it's worth noticing that during this virus crisis Italy didn't get any help from other European countries like Germany or France nor from USA. What Europe got from USA now are 30 000 soldiers which officially came for military exercises as if the coronavirus was not here.

On the other hand China sent us in Italy masks with encouraging messages (see image below, it says: "we are with you, come on Italy!").

@sir @lanodan there is GitLab Pages too

@velocitea thank you!
