The virus crippling the planet at this time in a global pandemic, the one that has shut down the world economy, crashed markets and tanked entire industries, the virus that has spread to over 120 countries and killed over 10,000 people worldwide thus far, that virus began in the Hubei province of the People's Republic of China, in the capital city of Wuhan. Although, if you call this virus a Chinese virus it is xenophobic and racist according to the Chinese government. It "stigmatizes" them, said one Chinese foreign minister.

Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #56.
