Coronavirus gibberish (History, geography, and demographics expert Marvin Rodriguez edition)




The editorial board of the Kansas City Star weighs in on the 'Chinese" comment.  
Before we go any further, the scientific term for this kind of xenophobic falsehood is bunkum.

The editorial board of the Kansas City Star had this to say about 'pre-WWII' analogy:  
This affront to Jews and outrage to all people who can see the difference between genocide and a minor inconvenience intended to save lives rather than extinguish them is, as we have unfortunately had reason to say before, both wrong and witless.
