JFC. One good thing, this whole situation has shown us where our weaknesses are and what we need to be prepared for if something much, much worse happens.

One would think we would be able to make our own antibiotics for national security reasons. Pretty dumb we allow all these companies to send manufacturing of this stuff overseas. Antibiotics isn’t like sending a furniture factory to China.

Liberals love their globalism. China are the good guys dontchaknow

If China has let us in, we could have helped contain it. They didn't.

Oh it is the liberal pharmaceutical CEOs who outsourced all our drug manufacturing to foreign countries? Good to know.

The people that are defending China here are insane as well.

+1

One big weakness is our diplomacy. If you are always a jerk to everyone it will come back to bite you.

They are going to grab us at the balls and twist. They are won’t send their surplus of test kits to anyone but Iran. They can’t wait to get cranking on 5g, cyber, life sciences etc while Europe and USA flounder around shutting down every piece of their economies. And and blaming trump.

She felt there has been too much travel and it’s too contagious for it to have taken long. Not sure what this means but she thinks it means that we need to wash our hands and stay smart but that we are already “in it” and need to carry on.

I actually believe this to be true. Remember all the 'we have an early flu season' and 'the vaccine is not well-matched', then 1/2 way into the season (I think when flu actually started in, in earnest) it WAS well-matched. Then there were comments about lots of 'false positives' on flu tests.

Patient 0 had it in Wuhan in November. So your timeline is wrong.

The “early flu season” in December was influenza B. I tested hundreds of patients positive for it. The “second wave” this past month or so is influenza A. Again - I have tested hundreds of patients positive for it. Neither “wave” was COVID-19. Unfortunately.

Oh- to add- I do remember a bunch of patients with flu like illness (fever, fatigue, cough) who were all testing negative for flu around October, and that seemed to last 3-4 weeks in my clinic (the wave of patients presenting, not the illness itself). But this was before even one person in China had it, so very unlikely.

the same folks who have not let the CDC into China to study the start, spread, etc? Umm Humm.

That you know of. China lies

Scientist here. China did not lie on this. The person above who tested patients for flu is right.

BS. China only tells us what they want us to know.

Sorry to intrude on your blind hate, but virologists, infectious disease experts and scientists from related fields have reviewed the data and the Chinese timeline makes complete sense. Research from Chinese scientists studying the epidemic has been published in the greatest international peer-reviewed scientific journals. Their data is solid.

Haven't the Chinese said no to the CDC taking a look around on the ground? Sounds science like. Political science that is.

They said no to the CDC “help”. I can’t blame them. The Chinese have handled this first, longest, and best. They’re the experts and we need their help, not the other way around.
