looked like a very dull politician who has no idea what he was talking about. You have failed as a politician and you have tried to politicize this important and vital issue but you have failed successfully as a scientist as well. *Blame China for not telling the world everything, ganging with the WHO, and hoarding PPEs instead of blaming the President.* If bat corona research is so important, which I totally disagree with you, why then at least say that it is important but China should NOT be the one to conduct such a dangerous research because obviously they have no idea about what they are doing and the results are so obvious. Do you honestly believe this is not a man-made virus; this is just comical period. At least you have to come and be honest with yourself that China cannot be trusted to conduct such dangerous research, but you did not. *You came along and you were criticizing president Trump and indirectly you were standing with the China against your president just to be on TV.* These days we should all get together and support our president and our country instead listening to you and to this woman who has no idea about anything but to degrade the president. All of what you said amounts to nothing and everything you have stated lacks evidence and scientific proofs, except the fact that you and Mrs. Rivero were trying to degrade the president, but sadly both of you looked like each one of you were staging the other. Sorry to say it but both of you looked so dull and out of it. *President Trump did not do anything except listening to Fauci whom I think is the worst doctor and scientist I have ever encountered. He was the one behind all of these problems and not President Trump.* Go back to January and see what Fauci said on TV regarding COVID-19; why can't you blame him, blame Cuomo, De Blasio and all governess who said we should not worry and it is all going to go away and not the president at least the president is not a scientist or a doctor but Fauci is. Fauci is a hero now because he tries to erroneously challenge President Trump. The science of Fauci has expired long time ago, but sadly he is still there where he does not belong. *The Chinese virus came from Wuhan China since Wuhan is located in China and not the USA.* Bat corona viruses need not to be researched since we never had a problem before and why not study also all the viruses in the world because if China did its job we will not be here in the first place! If we need to do research on bats which I think is unnecessary, why keep it with China but you did not say that! Lastly, if we will ever have another corona pandemic again as you have assured Mrs. Rivero, which is untrue (you have no scientific evidence to support your claim), we will definitely have it if we keep China doing the research on it or any other viruses. If the Chinese keep eating this food, yes we will have many pandemic coming from China. One last thing if you call yourself a good scientist as you claim, you should have read the paper in 2007, which warned China and the world about Chinese eating horseshoe bats. Below is the reference go and read it-may be it will enlighten you. I bet you never ever saw it before; why you did not discuss it with Mrs. Rivero-of course not, why should you it does not criticize President Trump. Cheng V., et al., Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus as an Agent of Emerging and Reemerging Infection Vincent. Clin. Micro. Rev., 20, pp 660-694 (2007); the authors noted that the "presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb". By the way the authors were Chinese for your information. To be fair it is Okay to criticize the president, for example, regarding reopenning the economy because that is wrong to do that at this time but just come on TV and blast the president was uncalled for. *My Advice to you is to be honest with yourself.* It was not fair period. The president is 75 years old and he is trying his best-how many presidents out there who are 75 years old and come on TV every day diligently talking about COVID-19 and he is exposing himself to the virus, but he is still doing his job? NONE. *Come on give him some credit.*
