I have zero respect for Pool. He's completely ignoring that the lies from China that began before the outbreak became public information were known lies. Any public figures that acted based on that false information should be shunned, disgraced, and probably prosecuted, not given a pass.

I did some hankerchief math back in the '80s and pointed out China could construct 100M hot air balloons with wicker baskets full of soldiers and SKS's that would drift on air currents to the USA in a few days and there's almost nothing our military could do about it. At least 10M of those soldiers could get to US clay, and cost almost nothing to drop here.

Turns out they didn't need the SKS's, or even the baskets and balloons.
