30th December is not early December, Keeed
He had sent out a warning to fellow medics on 30 December but police told him to stop “making false comments”.
That’s because there was no evidence this was going to affect the rest of the world, if any evidence before mid December this thing was even a virus - is the US alerting the WHO if a few hundred people in Arizona die? Could be the water, right?
Not to mention the 3-ish years before that to actually have a pandemic response plan/team in place. And the months since then to come up with some semblance of a plan, which the administration doesn’t have.
Looks like China figured out it was a virus similar to SARS on December 26. Four days later arresting whistleblowers (one of which is still missing, I’m sure she’s OK though). Twenty days later, no evidence of human to human transmission. Bang up job.
FYP
To end the derail
Your now pissed about just a 20 day period as opposed to ‘November to January 20th’. This illustrates those pesky Chinese chappies acted up to 13 weeks earlier than you would previously believed. So maybe not soooo slow
Trump won’t be able to blame his lack of action on Chinese response. 20th Jan is the date the world shit their pants - Trump date as what, end March
I never believed November. That was other people saying Trump had been briefed in November, which I said sounded wildly implausible. But clearly this was spreading in Wuhan in early December. And yes, twenty days does seem like more than enough time to figure out that it was spreading human to human.
Must be an absence of covid news if everyone’s arguing about keeed.
Catagorically establish Human to Human transmission, Keeed.
It took USA#1 30 days to make a test that actually worked. Months before that your Chinese friends had already cracked the fucking genome, lol
Well hey at least Trump hasn’t murdered any whistleblowers yet
Just the paedaphile, right. Epstein - lol
I think there’s about the same amount of concrete evidennce out there at present…but you don’t seem to mind lack of real evidence
China’s response to COVID prior to 1,000 confirmed cases in the country and Trump’s response to COVID prior to 1,000 confirmed cases in the US were both equally terribad, for some reasons that were different, and for some that were the same. China’s response to COVID after 1,000 confirmed cases (or thereabouts) was significantly better than Trump’s response to COVID after 1,000 confirmed cases.
Trump also lied and covered up the epidemic.
whataboutism!
Keed is a weird duck. 60% of his takes are straight from the Trump/Fox propaganda machine.
It does not appear to be.
Are we not comparing China’s response to Trump’s here?
Because you and the derposphere are more interested in talking about China and holding them responsible than you are what is relevant and impactful right now.
The time to discuss China is when it is all over. We know the derposphere does this to try and deflect blame from trump. So when you do the exact same thing what are we to think?
iron81 was wrong to say that Trump had been briefed in November.
As I understand it, the news stories being cited say that the intelligence community started to notice unusual things happening in November and started issuing reports then and these reports worked their way up the ladder, undergoing a lot of analysis, before the issue was noted in the president’s daily intelligence briefing sometime in early January. It’s not known when in early January, but Trump’s first public comments about the coronavirus, dismissive in tone, came on January 22 and a travel ban on China was announced on January 31.
On 8 January, Li contracted the coronavirus when he came into contact with an infected patient at his hospital.[23] The patient suffered from acute angle-closure glaucoma and developed a fever the next day. Li then began to suspect that the patient might have a coronavirus infection.[19] Li developed a fever and cough on 10 January, which soon became severe.[23] Doctor Yu Chengbo, a Zhejiang medical expert sent to Wuhan, told media that although most young patients do not tend to develop severe conditions, the glaucoma patient whom Li saw on 8 January was a storekeeper at Huanan Seafood Market with a high viral load, which could have exacerbated Li’s infection.[24]
gjge
Jesus Christ guys this argument sucks. China and Trump are both to blame. Arguing about how much each of them are or who is more to blame is pointless. Let’s move on.
Can people stop responding to Keeed?
Sincerely,
Everyone
