There are plenty of accurate things to blame the Trump administration for, but this is flat out false and dangerously so. China lied and covered up until Jan 20, and even after. It’s also gravely disrespecting the Wuhan whistleblowers who risked everything. Please delete this.https://twitter.com/PodSaveAmerica/status/1245121589181476864 …

Maybe he burst into tears because they were lying about all the crucial details. That is NOT "China tells Trump admin this is a horrific pandemic." OTOH, Taiwan told the truth to the WHO by Jan 1, but WHO kept on parroting China's false claims for weeks.https://twitter.com/Hehrman001/status/1245359775870844928 …

Since when does US policy rely on believing China's public messaging? It was clear that China is tailoring the propaganda to maintain its own political stability in a time of crisis. Bigger problem was that WHO did not bother to deliver estimates, but only 'confirmed' numbers.
