"The Chinese government was the first to know of this risk to the world, and that puts a special obligation to make sure that data, the data, gets to our scientists, our professionals. This is not about retribution, this matter is going forward; we're in a live exercise here..."

Each will have their opinion. Just be sure to not engage in personal attacks or name calling against anyone’s opinion or against this thread or me as I wo’nt do the same to others as that proves nothing nothing nor facilitates dialogue.
That is all from me.
Good day. God bless!
The truth is coming out.
The Chinese Communist Partys lack of transparency is the big killer here. They ignored normal protocols for a potential infectious disease outbreak, denied there was a problem until it was too big to ignore, then overreacted, and now are trying deflect blame.
From the looks of it, they may not have overreacted by much.
I am brewing up some civet cat coffee, just in case.
Even the reality challenged Brit Hume told some truth:
The death rate from Coronavirus is declining:
In the fact-challenged world of the coronavirus COVID-19, there are still actual facts out there, and Fox News analyst hit a homer with a single post on Twitter.
As the number of cases has expanded, the mortality rate has declined. It will likely decline even further if and when those without symptoms can be diagnosed and counted, Hume tweeted.
He included a tweet from another Twitter user that laid out the death rate in the U.S. from COVID-19.
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases) 3.69% March 9 (26 of 704) 3.01% March 10 (30 of 994) 2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295) 2.52% March 12 (42 of 1,695) 2.27% March 13 (49 of 2,247) 1.93% March 14 (57 of 2,954) 1.84% March 15 (68 of 3,680)...
I see. At first I couldnt figure out what he is talking about. Hes attributing the fall in death rate to an actual fall in the death rate instead of an increase in testing. I expected Hume to be more intelligent or he knows better and isnt above some propaganda himself.
But it is interesting that you really can claim the death rate is falling while the actual number of deaths is doubling every two days.
Pompeo begins with: “The Chinese government was the first to know of this risk to the world and that puts a special obligation to make sure that data, the data gets to our scientists, our professionals.”
I think Trump 7 seconds later is referring to the sentence above and says “Should’ve let us...should’ve let us know!”
That coffee tastes like crap!

Do you not understand that the percentage of these who contract it and die is falling? At this rate, the number who die may be less or not much more than the 80,000 who died from the seasonal flu last year.
The death rate is falling. It was once over 4%. Now it is below 2%. I was correct, and I think you know this, despite the Straw Man argument.
Or Trumps comments were about it being “a live exercise,” or both.
One thing all Freepers agree on is we are not to trust liberals or progressives for that matter and to never trust MSNBC, CNN or the MSM for that matter. But progressives and Dems will disagree with me.
At the end of all this a lot of folks are going to have a much better understanding of these things than they do now.
While the number of deaths in the last 24 hours is doubling every two days. The rate may have nothing to do with what is actually happening. It is an artifact of testing asymptomatic people.
The actual number of asymptomatic people with the virus is much, much large than the number of People who have tested positive. The number of dead people who have tested positive is a much greater percentage of the number of dead people with the disease. Once you understand this you will realize it is you who are making stuffing the straw man.
Can we call you names out loud in our homes? :)
I’m sure many have used my name for that lol
It’s a political board with strong opinions.
Nobody’s feelings should be hurt for more than a few seconds.
Unless someone talk about my mother!!
That lady’s a saint :) /semi sarcasm
BTW, apparently at least some MSM clps edited out the “live exercuse” part.
Pray for Captive China.
