Most of the world couldn't give a fuck about the US, unless they need aid of course.

I care about the US. I have many friends and family there. Not looking for aid. I'll be hauling a load of wood pulp there on Sunday. On my way to a P&G plant in Green Bay. They'll turn it in to essential supplies like TP and such. I'll haul a load of something back to Canada. Like many of you, I have no respect for your POS POTUS, but I love you anyway.

I'm white and I'm Canadian. Your race baiting idiot in chief has not yet found a way to make me into an enemy. But if he thinks it will help him he will try.

It is lethal, and China knew it, yet, It was downplayed by China.

When does the blame and the accountability get placed correctly?

If they need to be blamed and held accountable for downplaying the threat, what should happen to Donald "our cases will soon be zero" Trump?

If he was responsible for running the country or origin, he should be willing to make efforts to compensate.

Good to hear.  I love Canada.  As a child my parents took us camping several times to Algonquin Provincial Park.  It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.  I made it a point to take my kids there as well.

Thanks for continuing to haul goods.

So I pose the question that asks for confirmation that someone believes the Chinese government was honest about the numbers. .

I believe the WHO reports on the Chinese numbers were honest, yes.

Excellent.  The country is dealing with its biggest crisis in decades, and Trump is "playing."  That will "play well" this November.

Yes Bill,,that's right.  Only Republican politicians play games to improve their standing.

Exactly. That is as exactly ass backwards an opinion as is humanly possible. It's not about China's reputation. It's about ours. You guy's have an almost preternatural ability to completely miss the point.

I quote you but address this to airdvr and others with the similar view of the world.

On world stage, Trump loathed as much as Obama loved, Pew survey says    Jan8/20

Donald Trump has dragged America's global reputation to an all-time low

Why the "???" Did you not know the country of origin for Covid-19?

Are saying that Trump runs China as well?

Do you really think the people you are addressing care even a little? Hell, most of the will see this as a good thing.

Ah, I see, you made a typo.

 

Why do you think that only leaders from the country of origin should be held accountable for mismanagement or misinformation? The virus may be from China but it's not just Chinese. When it's in America it's an American virus, when it's in Italy it's an Italian virus, when it's in Britain it's a British virus.

 

When Trump said US cases were going very quickly down and would soon be zero there was a wealth of knowledge available that this wasn't going to be the case. If the Chinese are ccountable for what they did or did not say, why is he not accountable for that? Why isn't he accountable to the Americans who were infected by other Americans who didn't prepare for anything beause of what he said? Why isn't he accountable to other countries who may have been infected by Americans who travelled because he said there was no problem in the US when it had already taken hold?

To say anything other might have induced a panic.  Hell, most of the grocery stores around me have some empty shelves. 

It's kind of like "if you like your doctor..."

Nice attempt at distraction.

The leaders of the country of origin tried to hide it.

Start with that.

True. 

If the government would have told you what they already knew, and at least suspected, NO ONE would have been able to get any kind of ACA passed.  It would have panicked the populace.

that's one of the biggest lies they sold you.  if they had started at the beginning, in late december, telling us the truth, and what could happen, the stores would have been empty, then restocked, and by now we would all be laughing about it.  they would have had everyone tested, isolated the few that were bringing it in, and the curve would be flat as hell.  but that was only table topped with the obama team before the inauguration and in the briefing he got in mid 2018.  yet he has the audacity to say it snuck up on us and nobody knew about it.

Trump did attempt to cut the CDC’s funding, but Congress prevented it from happening.

While officials in charge of the U.S. response to pandemics did leave in 2018, it’s unclear if they were “fired.”

The U.S. was not on a list of countries receiving COVID-19 tests from the WHO. But the U.S. doesn’t usually rely on the agency for diagnostic tests, and the testing delay was due mainly to an error with the CDC’s protocol.

While Trump has called the Democratic response to the coronavirus a “hoax,” he has not used the term to describe the virus itself.

Celebrities are sharing a misleading post about Trump’s response to coronavirus

And he disbanded the NSC's pandemic preparedness team.    Dr. Fauci, director of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease: “We worked very well with that office.  It would be nice if the office was still there.”
