      Reminder that brave Wuhan doctors knew of human-to-human transmission in December, and put everything on the line to try to warn us. They were censored and punished. Some died. Unconscionably, Chinese authorities suppressed the info and WHO parroted their line into January.https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152 …

      It's exactly the time. Not pointing out these truths at this time allows racist to conflate everything, erase the people of China and (yes falsely but... ) appear to be the ones speaking truths.

          The story put of China should be a government (local or otherwise) tried to suppress this and then had to go to extreme measures to quarantine it when someone noticed they gone and fucked up. This is being repeated in many countries right now as they struggle to catch up.

          I see your point and it is important however you seem to assume that you can tell rednecks the difference between brave CHINESE scientists and corrupt CHINESE government. You cannot control what they hear when you say CHINESE something something

          That is certainly part of my point, and he apparently blocked me, so thank you. We do not need to feed or support our state department strategies to punish countries grappling with this virus. We need to find ways to help each other now, and sort out the politics later.

          To deflect from the fact that we were not ready to deal with the national impact of a quarantine of an entire metropolitan area (and maybe more) with an election coming on.

          Trump parroted the same lies as the Chinese. Where’s your outrage.
