“This is not Breaking News, this is a rumor, without any source.”
Why is everyone so keyed up about it being a rumor? Yes, it is a rumor but a worldwide rumor swirling around is itself news.
Regular people aren't. The Q-tards and Putinists on this forum ARE because they think Xi is a secret good guy or something, and that the USA is harassing innocent China with Taiwan.
I remember first reading a “rumor” about a respiratory illness in Wuhan right here on FR. I guess it was nothing to worry with.
