Is a full proof treatment, where no one dies (it hasn't been found yet) a quicker route to safety than awaiting a vaccine? I don't understand the diffetence in trial periods for these things...

Just stating what they allow us to know. were like mushrooms kept in the dark and feed on s--t. even your President now is pointing the finger at them . on the news he called it "Chinese virus" they won't like that . he said there will be an investigation and any cover up there will be repercussions or words to that effect anyway it'll all come out in the wash anyway. China informed WHO about the virus on Dec 31 and the US on Jan 3. The US did NOTHING until mid-March and downplayed the virus the entire time. Wrong! The US banned travel to/from China back in Jan 31 when the President figured something wasnt right.... The 1st Death in US wasn't intil the end of Feb. There is soo much false / 1/2 truths info being spread in this thread. China held things hush hush and should've opened their mouth sooner about their screw up.

The genome sequence of the virus was shared on Jan 8. Wuhan and its province was locked down starting on Jan 23. China wasnt perfect in handling the virus at first, but I dont see how locking down entire provinces of 60 million people is keeping things hush hush.

China wasnt perfect in handling the virus at first, but I dont see how locking down entire provinces of 60 million people is keeping things hush hush. Exactly. And while it's very easy to talk about China's government and human rights stuff, they couldn't NOT lock places down and risk their population dropping from 1.8bil to much lower and not expect a ton of questions. I have my cynicism of China, same as everyone else in the western world. I don't believe the conspiracies that this virus was transmitted deliberately, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a lab experiment gone totally wrong. Not that China would say anyways, but I'll give at least that much the benefit of the doubt that they weren't trying to wipe out all of humanity. But yeah, America screwed the pooch on response, but who here is surprised? Humans generally are inherently dumb by nature, myself included. But us Americans? We're Jamestown Kool-Aid levels. Not all of us, but there's enough for issues to arise.

There is soo much false / 1/2 truths info being spread in this thread. China held things hush hush and should've opened their mouth sooner about their screw up. This administration did take steps... That publicly furthered an "us vs them," "foreign enemy," xenophobic rhetoric that the campaign has fostered since day 1. The most defense in support of China came from the Tweeter-in-Chief a week before the "ban" (which had enough loopholes and exemptions to still allow tens of thousands entrance), which heaped praise for how much President Xi was cooperating with the WHO (another in a long line of scapegoats offered up by this Administration). The US Intelligence community were dubious of China's claims and many health experts warned of a potential epidemic in November 2019 but no serious preparation on a national level was taken, putting all hope in a miraculous beneficial outcome and enlisting wholly-inexperienced people such as Texas dog breeders in charge of any federal response. Instead, this Administration has ceaselessly pursued to bolster and project a strong public image and undermine the most dire warnings, purely for political effect. Time and time again this Administration and its staunch allies on the federal, state, and individual levels have been exposed for contorting factual scientific data and manufacturing their own "facts", partisan favoritism, leveraging CoVid aid for political benefits, and utilizing time meant for the transmission of important news to exercise personal vendettas in the absence of campaign rallies. And it has been determined the first US death occurred on February 6 with currently no known recent foreign travel or interactions, indicating local CoVid transmission was present and in effect before concerns about foreign entrants and repatriation of citizens on cruise ships were of greatest concern.

Ok this post has went "political" and causing post reports. This is NOT what this thread was meant for. We already have enough opposition in the world right now. And now on top of that we have an enemy that does not care about political beliefs or agendas, does not give a damn what color your skin is or sexual preference, does not care if you are a kid or adult, does give a damn if you fight on an internet forum or not and certainly does not care of your opinions. It wants to ruin the world and all who is part of it. The one thing the world should know by now it's time to come together and be tolerant. We have a smaller enemy that's bigger than any of this nonsense.
