China sacrificed Wuhan to save the world, and the World did nothing

[Anonymous]

Or better put, China did the hard, difficult thing to save China first, then to give the World a fighting chance. Sure, there was hiding at the beginning, but U.S. hid it as well. And what did most of the West do? Stopped a few planes from coming in. Even in mid March people flew from Italy and had no screening, or from other parts of the world. We had no test, no hospitals, no masks and ventilators orders, in other words nothing. Now, U.S. will be the one to kill the world's population. Hurrah for democracy!

Sod off Wumao.

They sacrificed Wuhan because they had no idea what was going on. Once they did they did everything they could to control the narrative, not to control the virus. The statistical trend lines for Chinese cases and deaths fit perfectly with an Excel spreadsheet and not actual cases. They did a dog and pony show for the WHO but prevented real investigation at the ground level. They refuse even today to release serology data on the extent of the outbreak. Even today if you try to get a test they will push you out the door of the hospital.

China should have stopped all international flights going out. Why do you think it spread so prolifically to Europe and US- the most popular tourist and business destinations for the Chinese?

What is driving this narrative? China is no hero. Get a grip. Just because the West's responses sucked, doesn't mean China didn't suck too.

Why countries of these travelers did not screen their temperature? Why was the U.S. not doing that with people arriving from any part of China or Italy?

As a research scientist in molecular genetics, I am respectful of China’s efforts and its sacrifice. The virus erupted there without warning, of course they fumbled at first. The fact they have a dismal human rights record and are not a democracy shouldn’t take away from the fact that they made an incredible effort to contain and mitigate the pandemic, then send supplies and battle-hardened experts to adbise other countries.

But this will become more apparent in a few months, when the West’s deplorable response is compared to Asian countries in general.

Is there a name for threads of this kind? I wonder.

I don't care about your background as a research scientist in molecular genetics.

I do care that China lied to the world over the seriousness of the virus. I do care that China blatantly manipulated their data to hide the sheer extent of the virus spread and deaths, which is abundantly clear to anyone with an iota of sense. I do care that China is clearly pressuring WHO to play both politics regarding Taiwan and to cook their own books over the number of positive cases and deaths. I do care that much of the supplies China sent to Europe turned out to be defective and unreliable (google the Dutch recall of 600,000 defective masks, and Spain and the Czech Republic discovering the Chinese tests were unreliable and defective).

I'm not sure what satisfaction you get from this critical condemnation of our country but rest assured as with every other crises and catastrophe that has weakened us momentarily it is democracy that has given us hope of succeeding by giving us the resilience to learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices whereas time and time again aristocracy's and autocracy's have failed to prove that they are as stable or as strong. Believe what you want but know this - our democracy will survive and you are free to leave at any time and continue your existence in whatever monarchy or oligarchy in the world you deem more suitable for your tastes.
Good day.

Another doctor in China is missing. A female doctor Dr. Ai Fen. She was an early whistle blower sounding the alarm about the disease. She is missing all because she shared a message to her colleagues about the novel virus.

I'm not sure why the love of China on this board.

The Asian countries responded in typical militaristic fashion.

Nobody said China is a hero! Heck no. However, they did get it together pretty fast to stop the spread. We should have build facilitates in late January. We had 35 million masks in some parts that were not distributed. We are NOW building facilities, we had no test. I am frustrated that people just forgot these things. Yes, I think this is worth investigating, this utter failure and having the U.S. load bodies by lift forks into trucks.

Thank you for your comments.

China has done nothing...nothing... but lie about the severity of the illness and the number of dead. They threatened anyone who dared speak the truth. And yes. They killed the doctor who tried to warn us. Anyone who has spent time in that god awful country knows exactly how they handle stuff like his.

They are an authoritarian country, of course they moved faster. You sound dense

Folks, this is a wumao. A paid troll. They are known as the .50¢ army. They go around to message boards and social media and plant propaganda like this. Leave them be.
