I don’t think we can use Japan, South Korea or Taiwan as examples. They are all Island nations. And they have a good handle on the source of their outbreaks.

The US and Europe have open boarders. And they have many ports and various points of human to human contact with China and other infected countries. The ports and colleges are the two areas that have produced the most widely spread infections. Germany, and France are probably more like America than other countries.

America is doing fine. We are not set up for this at all. But like with a war. We adapt quickly. America is based on chaos not perfection. We identify adjust react and adjust again. This is how we win wars. Its how we run our economy and increase production. Perfection assumes that we are very good at one thing. America is good at adapting to the newest thing. Like any of our wars, we start out with missteps then we get the right people in place with the right equipment, and we kick ass. That is what is going on here.

Plus, they are not multi-cultural nations.

Well, let me say this. There had better be a pandemic of fired and arrested deep state inbeds in the CDC and the FDA as well as finishing the cleanup of the state and justice dept.

the slow roll routine by these worthless partisan bureaucrats of everything, has got to be exposed to the entire country. Any media outlet found to have participated in this attempted takedown need to be stripped of there broadcast licenses and thrown into prison.

“They pushed out foreign journalists. Doesn’t that make their “news” pretty suspect?”

You don’t think our journalists are suspect? Do you think our journalists are honest on some stories but not others? How do you know which?

Let’s start with the 1 Trillion+ in Treasuries they own.
Cancel them as partial reparation for damages.

How deadly is the coronavirus? It’s still far from clear https://spectator.us/deadly-coronavirus-still-far-clear-covid-19/

The above article by Dr. John Lee explains how easy it is to reduce the number virus deaths. The problem is that you have to sign up for a free month in order to look at the article a second time, so I would send a copy of the text I copied to anyone who wanted one. In this case the applicable paragraph is as follows:

“ But there’s another, potentially even more serious problem: the way that deaths are recorded. If someone dies of a respiratory infection in the UK, the specific cause of the infection is not usually recorded, unless the illness is a rare ‘notifiable disease’. So the vast majority of respiratory deaths in the UK are recorded as bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, old age or a similar designation. We don’t really test for flu, or other seasonal infections. If the patient has, say, cancer, motor neurone disease or another serious disease, this will be recorded as the cause of death, even if the final illness was a respiratory infection. This means UK certifications normally under-record deaths due to respiratory infections.”

The Chinese end up solving their problem by simply reporting in an often accepted manner.

The Japanese like to subtly put that point across when discussing social problems afflicting various countries.

“To put it another way, IF China’s statistics are true, then they clearly have a vaccine, and if they have a vaccine then it’s very likely they had one all along (i.e., they didn’t develop it in 3 months), which means that the release of the virus was likely intentional. Again, this is all predicated on the official Chinese new case/death statistics being accurate.”

I’d like to see the infection rate involving their military and CCP leadership.

This would show if they have a vaccine.

Good point, but we’ll never get that (dis)information.
