Zax: As they say, not the laws we want but the laws we need during this time.

Chuong: I got friends who are way too optimistic for a summer vacation this year. I have to remind them that there won't be a summer vacation this year and that they shouldn't expect anime conventions soon! The recovery process from this viral pandemic would take a while thanks to Bat Soup Man.

Juno: I'm surprised he's still alive because he's going to face a very huge angry mob once he's released from the hospital in Wuhan. Oh man Liu and the Chinese G-52s are really steamed up over this!

Silk Tigress: That guy brought a series of major embarrassments to our country and our idiot politicians tried to cover it up but the cat was out of the bag! On top of that, your troops visited my country and my goodness your average soldier is taller and bigger than our average soldier with weapons that rivals ours. Thank goodness we didn't go to war over Bat Soup Man but if that happens, we're blaming him for that and your troops would attack him instead of us!

Guzheng Guardian: Your troops were very sympathetic towards the Chinese and many of them have family so they respected Chinese families well. The downside from all of this is that we are losing our foreign investments to America from this! It's extremely embarrassing that a country that was the most superior in the ancient world from 5,000 years ago would become a modern mistake for other countries to add insult to injury by making conspiracy theories against us! Earth will remember this because of one stupid man and a bat soup! All it took was one man, one forbidden food, to bring the world down in less than a week; something Bendraqi and his ancestors tried to do for ages. Just one wrong move...

Juno: The ultimate screw-up in history that made Pandora feel better about herself after opening her box because she saw hope if I remember right from Greek mythology. Something like this would even make Eve feel better about herself after eating the Forbidden Fruit. But Levon would quote the Bible saying God would have sent disease anyways but nobody said it was in the form of some Chinese guy eating bat soup.

Liu: I am angrier at the government for lying about the whole thing than I am Bat Soup Man for eating that in the first place, but he doesn't want an angry mob going after the guy. He should have known better, but how were we supposed to know the bat was infected?

Super C: Bat soup is known the forbidden soup; forget about the forbidden fruit (although it wasn't necessarily an apple).

Bendraqi: He did in as little as 12 hours what the old me and my ancestors were trying to do for centuries on end...sort of. The virus has conquered the world, the very thing I wanted all the years I was evil.

Crush: Well, what would you do with it?

Bendraqi: That's a good question. But it wasn't to be.

Leo: Thank goodness.

Cripto: Confucius must be rolling around in his grave.

Liu: He probably is.

Levon: It's possible someone else may have brought sin and disease to the world if they had been smart. But God had the plan written from the start: at the right time, He would send His only Son, Jesus, to die the graphic death He did, and place all the sins of the world on Himself. That way, all can enter into Heaven, and three days later, he beat death when he rose from the grave. That's what Easter is all about. This Easter is just going to different because of the coronavirus.

Leo: Many of our churches are streaming their services online if they're not a church that just isn't happening. And even if the story of the Easter Bunny was truth, the rabbit wouldn't want to hide his eggs this year.

Super C: That's for sure.

Chuong: *To Levon* And that's why the Olympics got postponed to next year and all the anime conventions I wanted to go with my friends around the world have to be cancelled this year.

Silk Tigress: China's National People's Congress in Beijing has some vacant spots so it is possible Liu will squeeze his way in there to set the record straight. My concern is his ability to control his anger. Most people around Earth are expecting Liu to explode at Bat Soup Man in Wuhan directly.

Chuong: And that means a demerit from Super C. Oh yeah since Xinhua is a state-run news agency, if Liu enters your government from Congress like that, he will have significant influence over Xinhua and their publications, possibly control over them.

Levon: Why am I not surprised?

Leo: Pressure's on you, Liu.

Liu: It certainly is. I'm amazed the government let my angry opinion news columns be published.

Super C: Just don't blow up, okay?
