The new hotness today among the Twitter liberal blue-check club is this New York Times article that says COVID-19 first came to New York “mainly from Europe, not Asia”. . .

Breaking News: The virus came to the New York area mainly from Europe, not Asia, genetic analysis shows, arriving weeks before the first confirmed case https://t.co/WKXviO6RIA — The New York Times (@nytimes) April 9, 2020

. . .which, of course, leaves out how the f*** it got to Europe in the first place:

These complete and total hacks:

Once again — his China travel ban, which allowed thousands in from China, didn't remotely stop the virus because it came from Europe. Another Trump flop with this disaster. https://t.co/eLJv7VdC7T — Neera Tanden (@neeratanden) April 9, 2020

She doesn’t know how it got to Europe, as that a real Scooby-Doo mystery and it sounds like she wanted a travel ban to Europe:

I actually don’t know but since it did, a China travel ban left us unprotected. Not sure why that’s hard for you to follow. https://t.co/QdBR6EgA1P — Neera Tanden (@neeratanden) April 9, 2020

Joe Scarborough, too:

Trump and Mnuchin’s refusal to shut down travel from Europe in January as requested by NSA’s Pottinger may have had deadly results. https://t.co/vAkOmid5kJ — Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) April 9, 2020

And let’s not leave out Touré:

How interesting for those who insisted on blaming China… https://t.co/pWkHDCcici — Touré (@Toure) April 9, 2020

We’re going to steal this joke and use it over and over again, thank you very much:

You mean if the career folks at the CDC didn’t let us down with their failed test?

This answers a question by @Acosta that Dr. Birx and Fauci were trying to avoid in a recent presser: “The research revealed a previously hidden spread of the virus that might have been detected IF AGGRESSIVE TESTING PROGRAMS HAD BEEN PUT IN PLACE.”#70Days https://t.co/C5P0SvryOj — Ryan Goodman (@rgoodlaw) April 9, 2020

Oh, no. It’s still China’s fault:

wow it's almost as if all prejudices are misdirected https://t.co/JfOE8fowkb — Anne Helen Petersen (@annehelen) April 9, 2020

Wait, how did the Jews enter into this? Please stay on topic:

Eager to hear what the white supremacists have to say about this. They’ll still blame the Jews, at least. 🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/39fudilSPz — Amy Spitalnick (@amyspitalnick) April 9, 2020

Well, if you want the world to call it the “Wuhan virus” or the “China virus,” we can think of no better way than getting Europe on board to rightfully blame China, too:

So can we also call this the European Virus now? https://t.co/oBKBQj7ACB — Stay At Home Giants (@slpng_giants) April 9, 2020
