LOL well ya just gotta forgive us for that tea business, we had cut a deal on a shipload of coffee right before lol. Its just my hackles always rise when folks continually blame the ills of the world on america and our independant lifestyle.
Where is all the condemnation toward china which has given us every pandemic we’ve had the last 50 years, and who ALWAYS spins the truth about their real situation. I guess its not politically correct to point a finger at them, buts its always ok to down the usa. Thats the hypocracy that gets to me.

I don't think China "gave" us the virus, which likely came from bats, and they are
the first victims; regardless, once it got to the US, it's our virus now, and our
response to it determines what happens to us. China was surprised by it, but they
have already tamped it down, while we, even with the benefit of more than a month
of warning and a quarter of the population, have not been able to do so, and we
now exceed China's cases and deaths.

I did not take any comfort in the President's statement that we will be doing a
great job if we keep the deaths to 100,000, and I think the world is wise to worry
about the virus spreading from our country.
