Coronavirus has affected the whole world. People are anxious, and the streets are empty. Well, almost empty. When it comes to the streets, you can only expect one group to roam and stay loyal to them, and they are the street artists. The explanation’s quite simple: even in more peaceful times, these rogues are no strangers to risks, such as the law, and now it’s no different. Also, they wore facemasks before it was “cool.” In times where all the galleries and museums are closed, the streets have become the canvas for public imagination. Let’s take a look at how street artists around the world have interpreted the situation.

From the artist's Instagram:
"We all are going through this together. There is a reason which we will see after all. It’s time to look at ourselves. Take a look at what are we doing with the planet and our lifetime. Maybe we should change our priorities? Maybe we should slow down? Maybe we should take a look around and start respect our planet and all those with whom we share it? Maybe someone is trying to hide some changes? Or economic collapse? Maybe one more step to a new world order?"

Translation from Chinese - “Nothing to see, carry on.”
Good lyrics for a song or verses for a poem about Covid.

As a chinese person, I find this borderline offensive. While the chinese gov did not do a good job responding to the virus (though still better than usa) it wasn't their fault that the virus happened.
Katniss, that's absolutely their fault and probably yours. As one Chinese woman said, "We eat everything with four legs, except a table."....and with two legs (Bird flu) as well. And you heinously torture everything, including dogs and cats, boiling them - ALIVE, burning them to death wit a torch, cutting their limbs off while ALIVE. If I was Chinese or Asian, I would not speak on this issue, I would not defend these atrocities!!! I would not defend all those sub-human evil monsters who commit them and all those who voraciously devour the flesh of heinously tortured animals. Shame on you. I speak out against unconscionable atrocities against sentient beings, which cannot speak for themselves, where ever they are happening in this sad world, I'm not singling out one merciless, sanguinary sub-human monster over another.

Libs be like. "China is our hero!!" (Not understanding that China is actually fascist not communist/socialist.)
Vanities, communists killed more people than fascists did. By the way, who is your hero?

translation Yeah China was the cause of this and it was leaked out of their labs not what the media said it was
Ibackatya, it was leaked from their "wet" live animal meat markets, where these deadly viruses jump from dead animal corpses to "human" butchers and customers. By the way, did you know that U.S. government is financing these experiments in USA and China, when animals are unimaginably tortured in labs, although, there are sophisticated, much more accurate and reliable non-animal testing methods available??
