        Let's not take our attention away from how it took less than a month for China to spread this disease all over the world .

        CCP promised delivering the hospital in 6 days. You lied, again.

        I would like to point out it is not exactly a hospital: it is more like a quarantine station - rooms are like cells, can be opened from the outside only, have bars in windows etc etc but I guess it makes sense

        Hospitals are not hardware but software. Systems... Triage. Operations

        10 days to build and probably 30 days of planning. So they prepared this in December! At that time point the figures of infected was kept in the dark.

        Amazing what can be done with a top-heavy civil rights imbalance, eh. On a different note: I think praising this OVERLY, without adding first “Following early inaccuracies or cover ups...” does an injustice to those who have died in the last fortnight.
