China did handle the situation poorly in the beginning, trying to suppress the numbers maybe. But the thing is, other countries are doing the same mistake, while not being prepared to do what China did next. Trump said there is nothing to worry about. He even compared the numbers to flu numbers. This is similar to what the CCP did in the beginning. Wuhan was locked down at 100 new cases a day. This is much faster response than countries who had seen Wuhan and even had better data. The CCP did screw things up in the beginning, but made up for that by a very effective response. Countries are matching CCP on the initial response, but not ready to match the final response.
