It’s pretty standard for Saudi Arabia, and they’re one of our closest allies.

At least those responsible for collecting the fines in Laredo have their faces covered.

Americans are just letting their freedom be taken away without a fight

oh, so it's a basic right to leave your mouth and nose uncovered? huh, all these years, things I learn

This truly can’t be a serious post. If so, too much time spent in China

Wow! You're one amazing dude. Hey, do us a favor and head back to China

hey, how about that, I'm here right now, being awesome. Wearing my mask

Hopefully China will be blackballed and as much industry as possible will move

good or bad, that's true, very much so right now....because I'm ashamed that my home country now leads the world

Lol

4/2/20 11:55pm

It’s bad

4/2/20 11:59pm

What a disgusting response. China is an oppressive country whose lies about the transmission of CV allowed it to spread

SierraCoug

Yea, let's talk about the Country who acted irresponsibly in this crisis.....

did I say I was 'ashamed to be an American", neigh, I've bled for my country... and it's people who whine about

The only part of this sacrifice that bugs me is how unevenly it is applied.

I’m seriously confused whether “your country” is China or the USA.

Maybe they can weld us shut in our homes too.

shammy

If it is for the "greater good" seems like it.

dfudge

Oh no, not even close. The only country that could have shut it down is the one you’re in, and they totally screwed up

Mike Honcho

Oh please.

antiyewt

4/3/20 12:09am

Your “home country” = China, right? That’s the only way this comment makes any sense.

4/3/20 12:23am

really? how many years did you serve? I'm a little more pragmatic than some. I don't see evil behind every street

ChinaFan

4/3/20 12:25am

I agree with all that. Except being compelled to wear a mask.

antiyewt

4/3/20 12:29am

Ha. This is funny considering in China you have to be blind to miss the face scanning cameras on every corner

4/3/20 12:30am

oh man, and you think our country doesn't have cameras? TV might misuse them, and no doubt China has made them

ChinaFan

I don’t really care about being forced to wear a mask, but being “ashamed” of the US for spreading this pandemic

It’s a means for dramatizing the seriousness of the epidemic, to basically frighten people into compliance.

Do you believe that's President Trump's intent as well? He said today that

antiyewt

ChinaFan

4/3/20 12:30am

Now this is just sad.

4/3/20 12:22am

Do workers at the wet markets wear masks?

kcca

yes, they do. Some markets have always had workers like the fishmongers who wear them. But, of course, now it's

First speed limits, then seat belts and helmet laws.
