As a Chinese ,I do agree that Xi is much worse than Hu Jingtao and Jiang Zemin,but it is definitely to consider China as the country that should be blamed.Spanish Flu actually first outbreak in US in 1918，infected over 500 million people and killed over 40 millions of people worldwide.Did anyone calls the Spanish Flu as American Flu?(the reason of people calls the name Spanish Flu is because Spain Government first treat the flu epidemic as a disease that is widely spread.)It is totally unwise to simply connect China with COVID19.

That and this are different things, however. Chinese officials went out of their way to obscure initial information about the virus (remember Dr. Li Wenliang), so yes, unfortunately for you, people will always connect the virus with China.

Is she more of a miner than a blacksmith? I always thought it was the latter, with the former just her simply being self-sufficient in material gathering.

The inspiration behind her character seems to be "archetypical draph girl". The personification of their culture, their industry. Not only does she love mining (family trade), her personal aspiration is to create a weapon worthy of her love interest who is a hulk of a cyber man locked in a symbiotic relationship with a living weapon.

In an odd way, she's competing with the weapon for his attention, laying her pride as a craftswoman on the line, whether she knows it or not. She is too young and immature to understand what it is she's doing exactly, but that seems to be the gist of it.

It may have been noticed in the U.S. first, but thanks to the "lovely wars" going on at the time, it went largely unnoticed, aka "censored", in most places. With Spain being nuetral, they allowed talk of the problem, causing a larger notice on Spain, giving us the name, Spanish Flu.

Since it was quickly picked up on and the origination point was in Wuhan, China, it is fair to call it the Chinese Flu. I feel like the pooh bear is just to call out his poor initial handling of it. Heck, that's also the reason she's given a chinese dress. I honestly couldn't care less what we call it to be fair.

Or in the words of Patrick Star, it's just a drawing.

Many diseases are named after the people who discovered and/or worked to treat them.

I don't think the virus is a serious threat, but it's infectious enough it'd be good to learn how to deal with something that actually did pose a danger.

Going to disagree with that. This is a serious threat. The disease causes a flood of patients that can easily overwhelm the capacity of hospitals and is easily infectious enough to readily infect hospital staff and require them to be taken out to avoid infecting others. This means that you’re losing the capacity to deal with all the other medical emergencies that happen regularly and that means lives that wouldn’t have died will die from this disease.

The worldwide outbreak of COVID19 shouldn't be simply attribute to China.The First outbreak center ,WuHan,has been sealed from Jan.23.Every citizen are prohibited to go outside and their living nessarities are provided by the government and volunteers.WuHan actually has a population of around 14 millions of people,so the action of locking down is a very risky move and it did create much casualties on economic but controls the situation .
Now there are only 4k people in China were infected ,yet in America and Europe,the number of patients and deaths are quickly increasing.Maybe some people will say Chinese government has falsified the data,but according to what I have seen in Guangdong province of China,the epidemic situation has been controlled effectively and the price of face mask has dropped to around 0.15 USD for one.The war between mankind and COVID19 needs the cooperation of different countries and races.

My issues with China was that they created the conditions for this to migrate from their original host animal to humans through their exotic animal markets due to having a rather strong cultural belief that eating exotic animals gives you "strength" or other attributes related to what you eat. This is of course due to the beliefs of the mysticism of their traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). Furthermore the government will not have learned their lesson on this, because they're tying in on TCMs as a part of approved traditional Chinese culture and that being pro-TCM means being pro-China. They're "crack-downing" on these markets for food, but they'll just leave the door wide open for these same markets for their medicines. Which is a growing business in China and something that their government has been heavily trying to push into other countries. Even being a major part of their "Belt and Road" initiative. In fact their government is using COVID-19 to be able to make further claims that TCMs work and mandated that TCMs had to be made a part of the treatment nationally for COVID-19, which in turn they're now using to push out "studies" that "prove" TCMs work.

Furthermore China manufactured something like 80% of the masks worldwide, and who knows what percentage of the ventilators. It's easy to make readily available the equipment and lower the prices when you're making probably most of the world's supply of these devices. It was smart on them to lock the exports of these things for their own use, but I find it rather insulting when people think there is any "good will" when China "donates" supplies to other countries to fight COVID-19. It's easy to donate supplies when you control the market on those supplies, and it's very easy to be out and low on those supplies when you gave up your production base to China to save on costs.

Females are built in such a way to bear and support the development of the males. I thought that was self-evident.

Suffice to say, the reference to the Christmas episode has Almeida (pictured here), explaining that she got a pickaxe for Christmas. At first, she didn't like it, but she's gotten alot of use out of it over the years, and it's basically her favorite thing. That she enjoys mining. Wouldn't making a slave race enjoy their work be logical?

Not to mention that she enjoys the sight of gem stones. Must be nice to break up the monotony of hacking away at dirt and stone only to have the sporadic glimpse of something pretty filtering through.

Having viewed her Christmas episodes for the first time, I've concluded that Draph females are short to make them more effective miners. They were an artificial slave race made for that purpose, and while modern draph females are typically very beautiful and glamorous, the dimorphism between the sexes exists for the sake of a division of labor. Specifically being able to work in confined spaces and heavy lifting.

That doesn't explain the massive breasts and wide hips.

I would imagine if they attempt to overpower it the crowbar would just grow more flowery until it breaks and your own face gets well... flowered

Pedigree-wise 2nd cousins on paper, but genetically 1st cousins if their grandmas were identical twins.

Huh so basically the maze was somebodies attempt to help future residents.

The maze isn't there as a part of the anomaly or something that will kill you it was setup so that you won't notice the actual anomaly itself which only goes fully active once you pay attention to it.
