They did not cause the virus..the Communist China government let it spread around the world..and need to be held accountable....I see some lib countries already sucking back up to China. Look at the Libs here in the US: Schumer said 'IF the virus came from China'. What an A.

When racist cops kill black people, they don't support us. They have a huge community, they should support themself as they use to.

I assume everyone is struggling and not just Asian American.. why does cnni has to ring race in all the headlines ? To make them.more catchy ?

Bro we need to burn those places down. Our children are dead thanks to them.

It truly take a special breed to spew hate. I may not understand the culture and why they eating wild animals, but hate?

Ah, the classic RACE BAIT article.

Obesity increases your fatal risk of COVID-19. Americans should stop eating pizza and eat healthy sushi!

Great idea. Now CNN needs to follow suit and stop with their hate and fake news and stop trying to divide the country. Just report the news and stop spinning it.

The food is gross though, so I can't help out with that one.

When do we get our stimulus checks from China? I mean, they caused this whole mess. I promise to use some of it to buy Chinese takeout.

Gee China has 4 times the population of the US, & 1/3 the COVID-19 cases. Stereotyping much. If you think thier numbers are skewed ask Ron Desantis Gov of Florida. Chinese take out may be safer then Sonny’s Barbacue.

Watch out for the Giant Asian Hornets!

I’ve ordered Chinese food more than ever during this pandemic. Sesame Chicken Forever. TakeOutHate
