I’ve seen reports that say China is slowly getting back to normal. That is incorrect. It’s a scary scene here. I’m in Fuzhou now and headed to Beijing for a week then back to Shenzhen. China will never be the same as well as America after this. Stsy safe everyone.

thanks for the update.....

anyone with a brain and an ounce of common sense should have known this shit wouldn't just disappear as china and cnn are claiming.

stay safe, and keep us informed!

I live in Shenzhen 4-6 months out of the year. The other 6 in Vietnam. China is safer than Vietnam right now. I went to be where it’s safer.

Dont matter if it is or not, the economy is shot. Gonna take a while to get things back to normal once this b.s is done.

No. During the outbreak Americans were leaving cause they wanted to. Now Americans ir any foreigners can’t come unless they have a residence card which I have. I am a legal resident there and registered in the health care system so I was able to get back.

**grease lightnin** · 04-03-20, 12:31 PM

Illini— Do you know if the virus is still spreading there?

Appreciate you posting this

wasn`t Trump saying in the beginning to go to work? yes

so why the division that one side has handled this better than the other, or is more to blame than the other?

the trade war seems to have made a nice difference, in my opinion

how is food? can u still order cat, dogs, rats, bat soup, penis kabob,...?

**pimike** · 04-03-20, 12:43 PM

I don’t believe anything coming out of Vietnam or China.

Dang Illini, you had to be at the 2 worse places when it comes to caring about the people.

Both countries so over crowed they hope people die by the largest margin possible.

Fixed that for you. I sure hope they're not packed, but sadly I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

**SBR_Guest_Pro** · 04-03-20, 01:01 PM

according to your title i cannot believe what you are saying

**THE HITMAN** · 04-03-20, 01:08 PM

Chinese Virus?

I am wondering........why can't we call this virus the Chinese Virus? I mean it originated from China.Likewise, their food originates in China and we call it Chinese. Why is one politically correct and the other not? Both come from China.

Yes,a little tongue in cheek and somewhat rhetorical. I'm just sayin', what's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

interesting point.

because we like the food it is ok to call it chinese food but because we do not like the virus we can't call it chinese virus.

**Smoke** · 04-03-20, 01:38 PM

Call me on the 213 line

it was called the chinese or wuhan virus.....by all major networks

when trump said it, it was racist

**Bluehorseshoe** · 04-03-20, 01:50 PM

I'm curious if they finally got rid of the "Wet Markets".

**zam77** · 04-03-20, 01:56 PM

Illini definitely not a good time to be exchanging releases with the pretty ladyboys over there. Stay safe pal

**thomorino** · 04-03-20, 02:05 PM

A 2 year iod could see what China is saying is bullshit. They claim to jabe only imported cases yet theybare shutting down entire cities. Their are thousands of funerals but they claim only hunsreds of deaths. Cnn and msnbc keep repeatinf the chinese governments talking points too.

The chinese are very sensitive. This drawing was published in a Danish newspaper in an article about the virus. ( the same newspaper that printed the Muhammed cartoons many years ago)

The Chinese embassy demanded that the newspaper apologized for the drawing.

if it came from China and Trump saw necessity to start a trade war, then by your thinking it is 'just"
a war/response w/out bombs, only casualties

my thinking too
this is funny, total shit-show

**AribaAriba** · 04-03-20, 02:14 PM

God Bless the Human Race and we can defeat our common enemy, the virus.

I agree completely. The idiot below seemed to think differently.

**thomorino** · 04-03-20, 02:17 PM

The media stopped calling it the chinese virus because they realized it leads people to not blame trump. More fake news.
