CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/PROTESTS: “I think the civil unrest came to a certain extent because of the plague. The plague is the Chinese plague. And it came over here, and they could have stopped it. In my opinion, they could have stopped it, and they should have stopped it. And they didn’t or were unable to. So it was either incompetence or they knew.
And I guess the third one is they knew and they decided not to at a later date. But it’s the Chinese plague. And it’s not a good thing. And that, I think, had something to do with the civil unrest.”
