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.

January 3rd was too late since this broke out in November and infected were flying by the tens of thousands to cities around the world and the States.
I have heard several defending Trump with facts and stats against those seeking ways to find fault, as well as defining him as r****t when in the earliest days of awareness this was first known and labeled as the w***n v***s by all media sources and Trump. But now the PC police decided w***n or China originated v***s is r****t...

Both my wife and I have been tested and confirmed to have the China/W***n v***s, I could personally careless it's origins and more about treatments, medical supply chains and wondering why we are slow walking a nationwide 30 day lockdown. Mandatory gloves, mask (when supplies increase) to shop at grocery stores.
We live on 5 acres in rural Northern Idaho and managed to catch this, so how many grocery store clerks, stocking clerks are now spreading the v***s to all? Closing all businesses does nothing if everyone shopping for groceries is exposed.
I know for a fact that this is bio engineered v***s. Now is not the time to fault, after this ends is a more appropriate time to look forward how to avoid a future release with punitive penalties. To my knowledge there are no official punitive guidelines for nations to follow and if so what about several other v***ses that have been released like H1N1, Sars and many others in past years..
The appropriate focus should be in the now of saving lives ....

Keep blaming Trump for this whole thing kevyn. While this mess was going on in China, Trump was locking people from China out of this country while the liberal news media, CNN & MSNBC and all the democrat p**********l candidates were calling him a r****t and a xenophob. He was also meeting with major pharmaceutical companies trying to get an early handle on treatments and possible v*****es. He also closed down the borders to Europe and took heat for that from the same people that called him a r****t for closing down China. It turned out that it was the right thing to do. Now those same people are criticizing him again for not doing enough, when they have been wrong and he has been right this entire time.

Keep whining kevyn. Nobody is listening to what you have to say anyway. President Trump is a natural leader and he is receiving high grades from the American people on his leadership on this issue. The democrats and the media should quit whining and get on board with this president and stop trying to turn the public against him. This is not the time for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s political BS. There is too much at stake for the American people.

And by the way kevyn, IT IS THE CHINESE V***S. CALL IT WHAT IT IS!
