The GP was suggesting that China was somehow opposed to wearing masks.
- nitrogen 5y agoI think it's more that they were suggesting that an aggressive response to COVID19 would have appeared to be an anti-China move, and thus further jeopardize the US relationship with China.
- maxerickson 5y agoPandering to China wasn't a particular priority of the US government at the time. Is the idea that mask policy would make up for all the politicians calling it "the China virus"?
- Eelongate 5y agoWHO isn't part of the US government though.
- maxerickson 5y agoThe other commenter brought in the US relationship with China. I agree my comment doesn't reply to stuff higher up in the thread.
