fixable. can you have rehabilitation for this. can you get some of your hearing back. it's a miracle what some of the feampses can do in a situation like this. it's treatable. i wouldn't say there isn't irreversible components here. the real tragedy is it effects not just the ear and balance but also the brain. also, politically, why is this happening now? steve: yeah, and who is doing it? >> well, if it's happening in china with the north korean summit come up, have you got to wonder about that don't you. steve: it started in coulibaly and now it's in china. what's the connection there. >> well, there was some question about whether the chinese could have been involved in cuba. i want to say something else really clearly here for our viewers. not a virus. this is not a naturally occurring thing. this looks to be a message. somebody is trying to send a message here and do it by hurting our people. that's my view. i don't have facts on it yet. you will hear more and more. a sonic weapon that is hard to detect that could be targeted. why only americans, steve?
