Cursing China won't help US
CHINADAILY

The US administration has been busy trying to convince anyone who will listen that China is to blame for the United States now having the highest number of novel c****av***s infections outside of China and Italy.

At least 35,211 US citizens have been infected with the v***s, of whom 471 have died. And the US is now the country in which the v***s is spreading the fastest. On Monday afternoon, the increase of confirmed cases over the preceding 24 hours was 8,464 in the US, more than the 5,560 reported in Italy.

Yet the administration was forewarned of the danger. China started regularly informing the US of the latest development of the epidemic situation in W***n and the measures it was taking on Jan 3. The following day, the heads of the two countries' centers for disease control talked on the telephone and they agreed to strengthen their information exchanges and technology collaboration.

Since then, all relevant departments of the two countries have maintained communication with each other, and two US experts were also among the World Health Organization's investigation team that conducted a nine-day fact-finding mission in China in February. China has never stopped sharing its epidemic control experience with the US, and medical professionals from the two sides have also communicated on treatment techniques.

US President Donald Trump acknowledged the efforts being made by the Chinese people to contain the v***s, and he expressed his appreciation of China's endeavors and t***sparency in a tweet on Jan 25. He again spoke highly of China's response to the epidemic in a phone call with President Xi Jinping on Feb 7. And as recently as March 13, he told reporters that China's sharing of its data was helping the US to deal with the v***s.

Alex Azar, US secretary of health and human services, also praised China on Jan 28 for sharing the genetic sequencing of the v***s, which enabled the CDC to quickly invent a diagnostic test and the National Institutes of Health to rapidly advance a potential v*****e.

So with the situation worsening in the US, the question is naturally being asked: Just what was the administration doing in the way of epidemic prevention and control since it learned of the outbreak in China at the beginning of January?

Some US media outlets have shown how the window of opportunity was wasted. Different departments kicked the ball to each other and the White House was intent on trying to downplay the crisis. As such, it was the inability of the US government to respond effectively that has created the situation the country is in now.

As the government has been dysfunctional, the US still lacks test kits for the v***s. It is only a matter of time before it becomes the hardest hit country in the world. The US administration's attempts to pin the blame on China are not going to alter that, nor let it shrug off its responsibility for the mess.

The Chinese government, like the I***t Pumpkinfuhrer, downplayed the impact and covered up information on the C****a v***s. As Trumps turd Reich crumbles around him he needs a scapegoat he can distract his i***t minions with and China fits the role. As a result “the disease president” will refer to the v***s as “the China v***s” in an effort to toss a little hatred red meat to his cult.

So they say! Answer one question for me. From where did the v***s originate?

W***n... First cases came from there... Lot's of evidence that it started in a market.... Originally bats were suspected... Now it seems more likely it was from a pangolin...

To my knowledge this is still the official statement by the Chinese government... Although it has always been pointed out that it is not certain if it did actually originate with the animals in the market... Just the most likely cause...

I verified the dates in the article above.... Trump did make those statements and the CDC was in contact....

Downplayed?

Sorry Kevyn... For those of us who live thousands of miles away from W***n and have just started our third month of quarantine, the term downplayed just doesn't ring true...

Seems like a lot of downplaying did occur though... Elsewhere
