An excerpt:
China’s plague-delivery pedigree is solid.

UPDATE I (10/23):
Sickest think, @rosenberger_ken, on LinkedIn, where we both hangout, is how animal rescues keep fetching (and filming) these half-starved dogs from dog-eating farms–yet animal activists say not a words about THAT cultural EVIL. About BLM, The same activists, on the same forum, don’t shut up.
