More Chinese Health Threats
Dear Editor,
Once again we are seeing a potentially dangerous situation for the US and the world concerning two more health threats out of China.
First, there is a suspected case of bubonic plague, aka “black death,” which killed 50 million people in the 14th century. There have been four reported cases out of Inner Mongolia including a couple that died from the disease. The bubonic plague is one of three types of plague caused by bacterium Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria usually found in small mammals and their fleas. Second, there is a new form of the swine flu. The G4 virus is a strain of the H1N1 swine flu that can infect humans and that exhibits “all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus.”
Why does all this sound eerily familiar? The bigger question is, what is the federal government going to do? Personally, I believe there needs to be an immediate, total quarantine of any and all travel and transportation into and out of China. Identify anyone who has been there in the last 30 days and have them quarantined and tested for possible contamination. Anyone coming into the US from China or has been in China in the last 30 days needs to be isolated in quarantine until their condition can be determined.
While the bubonic plague can be treated with antibiotics, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, the potential for complications is there. We’ve already been through one bout of swine flu and, again, with the ongoing pandemic, we cannot afford to take any chances.
Whatever WHO tries to tell us, we need to politely listen, thank them for their concern, then tell them to go pound sand, we’ll deal with this.

Yes, close the borders. No one in or out. As an extra precaution, we should round up people suspected to have ever been out of the country or considering leaving the country – the wealthy, those that speak different languages, those that have passports, those seeking citizenship, the well-educated and also the uneducated, people with skin color similar to those of European, Asian, or African descent – and put them on a mandatory 30 day stay at home order with violations labeled as felonies. Close it all! Make America Safe Again!!!!!

Let’s see,,,(looking over letter)…nope, don’t see any of that.
Looks like another case of a hater trying add something not there,
what’s that called again? I know there’s a term for that…give me a second…oh yeah, it’s called lying.
Still love ya, in spite of it, mean it
You are funny. Tommy is using a style or writing referred to as sarcasm. As an alarmist you are missing this point and reading him as an alarmist. He is making fun of you and your absurd drivel that the Rhino Times continues to post for some reason I can’t rationalize.
Don’t love ya.
Why? According to your worthless leader, “We are in a good place”. I get it, that doesn’t fit your no yellow, brown or black people allowed policies.
