I don't think that was unrealistic, especially considering how the WHO was then claiming there was no evidence of human to human transmission, which they continued to claim for months.
To my last post, I should have added, Trump's supporters. Especially those idiots with guns, confed flags and Trump signs.
WHO didn't claim such a thing. Trump spreads a lot of conspiracy theories about WHO. They have done good work, but Trump withdraws support for it. Just one of thousands of bonehead moves by drumphead.
I don't let China off the hook for not letting the world know sooner. The travel could have been shut down sooner to the Western USA. But the USA allowed the massive influx from the east. Since then, Trump's management of the crisis has been abominable, and every day he does something else dumb and destructive. We don't have competent national leadership. I hope we can get it 7 and a half months from now, but it will be a struggle to maintain democracy so we can vote him out.
China has shut down covid-19. They know how to do it, and so does South Korea. New Zealand always does well with everything. Europe is doing better. All because they have rational citizens and good leadership, while the USA, UK, Russia and Brazil do not.
IS THIS HOW AMERICA DIES?
