The reality is China didn't know about human to human transmission early enough and when they did figure it out, it is a fact they withheld that information from WHO and the world for several days. I hadn't heard that China was buying up PPE, I heard individuals were sending PPE back to family in china since masks have almost become a way of life for the Chinese. We have identified national security issues with buying PPE from China. We either need to start making them in the States or, increase our stockpiles, or both.
Dr Li Wenliang thought the disease could be SARS and immediately began warning his peers to wear PPE. Rather than sending more experts in to investigate the situation, China accused the Dr of spreading rumors.
This is really the smoking gun. This is when China had the opportunity to stop it. This happened in December. December.
This was the beginning of the grossly irresponsible lies coming from China. I think the WHO lapped up those lies because Dr Tedros was essentially planted into the WHO by China. Dr Tedros himself has a history of lies and coverups during his time in Ethiopia. I don't think that's a coincidence.
While China and the WHO were telling the world there's no human to human transmission, they were buying up PPE. It's criminal what China did. It wasn't ignorance or incompetence.
It's also interesting that Dr Li Wenliang was a healthy 34 year old. Hardly in the at risk age group. Do you think he died of the virus? It's more likely the CCP executed him.
The MSM would rather Monday morning quarterback the president rather than look at the actual issues. No one did everything right. Look at Dr Fauci's comments as late as the end of February as an example.
For our national security, we need to bring manufacturing of essentials like medicine and PPE back to the United States, especially from China. They are our enemy. I'm not saying I want a war because that would only get a lot of our young men and women killed but we need to be more wise when it comes to China.
Look up how much food China has to import to feed their population. There is a reason Trump keeps talking about that trade deal and it's not to boast about the billions of dollars of food they are buying from us. It's a not so subtle threat for China to keep sending us medicine.
