You realize both countries can screw up, right? And the fact that the NSA belongs to a country that screwed up doesn't prevent them criticizing other responses?

Moreover, the Chinese government has still to my knowledge not cleanly released true figures for lethality, R0, total infection count, etc, as would have been responsible. Instead the world has had to rely on side channels like whatever publications from Chinese scientists made it past censorship. If other world powers were relying on official government numbers, like the WHO, they can't entirely be faulted for the slow response, though I'd like to think government agencies were competent enough to pick up on everything legit and unofficial that started flooding Reddit and 4chan in early January.
The CCP in typical fashion put the CCP first, and that will cost the world many lives.
- Gibbon1 7y agoChina started from day zero with a small cluster of cases. Over all they've been moving mountains to squash this. Meanwhile US three months in doesn't have anywhere near enough testing kits available. The first community aquired case was found by a hospital going around the CDC by developing their own in house tests. At the leadership level the US is still acting like the problem is with outsiders. Senator Lamar just blocked emergency relief for workers impacted by the virus. The CCP quickly got on top of things. Meanwhile in the US at the leadership level it's all failure. Every State, City, Hospital, and Business is having to fend from themselves. So yeah no one but people like you are buying this.
