It’s a hilarious read: > If Beijing had given the real number of infected people and deaths, other countries would have recognized the danger, and taken necessary steps. No matter what transpired, eventually there was a warning, and most countries still took no steps until they had high numbers themselves. Hell, Italy could have been the warning and it would have helped.

    A Nature paper [0] suggests that 66 or even 95 percent of the cases could be avoided, had China acted on the coronavirus 1 to 3 weeks earlier [1].

      But that paper, at least in the abstract, talks about preventable deaths in China. The anti-communists talk about China being to blame for the deaths in other countries because those countries had no warning.

        The paper was posted on March 13 [0], before Covid-19 peaked outside of China. Of course it didn’t focus on other places. The abstract shows the authors believe its findings have relevance elsewhere: > These findings improve our understanding of the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19, and will inform response efforts across the world [0] https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.03.20029843v3 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.03.20029843v...

        But what does that have to do with countries having plenty of warning and doing next to nothing? I feel like you replied to the wrong poster.
