    China has been lying and under reporting their cases from the start. I think we should up their reported number by a factor of 10.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      You mean the country that lied about human to human transmission, destroyed samples, prevented the virus from being studied internationally, and arrested doctors calling them out lied about their infection rate?

        Yeah, you want to talk about heroes, it's people who speak the truth knowing that it could cost them their lives.

          That's what it means when someone says "speak truth to power"

            And I truly hope the world learned something and beginnings to disassociate itself, from China.

              Well, considering that we knew that we were dealing with a serious epidemic, the US took in citizens which were exposed, then took no isolation protocols. One does not need to be an epidemiologist to know that infected people should not wander around an airport.

              The US is not much different than China in handling this response.

              We could have learned something, but we looked at the mistakes and mis steps China made, and then duplicated those mistakes.

                As I have pointed out, China lied about this virus and was getting the WHO to spread this lie for them. Funny how you ignore that little detail.

                  That still didn’t stop other countries from putting together some effective countermeasures.

                    Yes, I know. For months on end, too.

                      Many countries are mudding through or do you not watch the news?

                        Yeah, speaking truth to power only costs them their careers under Trump. But of course that's the best he can manage at this point.

                            Right, Trump is not the only bumbler, just the biggest and continuous bumbler.

                              The US’s infection rate, per million, isn’t the best nor the worst. Looks like things are going the best they could. Only if China said something before vs hiding it and letting us all have to muddle through.

                                Yes, China lied, China covered-up, just like Mexico covered-up the swine flu, but covering up has nothing to do with the response after the cover-up is uncovered. And no, things are not going the best they could, if you want to see the best they could've gone, look to the results of S. Korea's fast response with respect to testing and containing. They didn't have to shut down the economy and pay out trillions in bailouts either.
