The article may be narrative, but you are parroting a similarly false narrative. The way China dealt with Wuhan was that of the most extreme surveillance state and restricting every fundamental human right there was. The state claimed private property for its own. Arguably the most draconian lockdown seen in the last century anywhere. No democratic country has that sort of power. We now know, that Chinese authorities did all of the following: 1. Silenced the messenger, ie. the first doctors who came out with news of this virus 2. Lied to the WHO about human to human transmission 3. Deliberately delayed information about the full scope of the epidemic in their nation, for weeks, while international flights were still running. No one here is arguing that Trump did not completely mismanage this situation. But the main culprit of this crisis was elsewhere. Trump was the idiot at the gates that let in the Trojan horse. China was the one that constructed it.
