She said that she feels bad for the way Chinese students are being treated and that "most people are ignoring it but when I do hear stuff it does bother me." An ASU spokesperson said in a statement that "we greatly value our student population from China and want them to feel at home in the ASU community as [we] do for students from any other country."

She said if she's on campus and coughs or sneezes, "people kinda look at me a second longer, I guess kind of questioning if I'm infected."

1. Trump’s “currency manipulator” claims + 2. Trump’s trade/production war + 3. Trump v. Huawei (and Europe/EU) + 4. the 2019-nCoV coronavirus = Sinophobia and if the Trump campaign spends the next 279 days stroking the fear of China into rural America, he’ll win 2020

so someone bought a lethal virus onto a university campus, wow.
