  1. The Chinese Communist Party has now killed over 40,000 Americans.

      Maybe it was because WHO downplayed the severity of the virus when it was spreading? 

      Spoiler

       

      Or was it because the CCP silenced those doctors who reported the virus in the first place?

      Also if you're so inclined to believe CCP propaganda, wouldn't you also believe the lie that the virus was brought to China by the US Army?

      Yet about a week later WHO changed their stance to this, after it was clear that human-human transmission was indeed occurring (also it did not fully know everything about the virus at the time):

      I'll repeat those last words: "and a high risk regionally and globally". If trump and the republicans were actually paying attention, rather than stating that the virus will magically disappear/trying to downplay its severity and using scapegoats for covering up their own incompetence, perhaps there'd be less deaths:

      As for your point about Chinese propaganda, I can tell what is and what isn't a form of propaganda. Unless they have indisputable evidence, I highly doubt that it came from the US Army, as the US military would have been vaccinated against the virus beforehand. Could China have done more? Absolutely - it could have not attempted to cover up the virus and threaten doctors who originally discovered it and warned people about it in the early days of the outbreak (and also try to contain it sooner), as you pointed out. That being said, after they stopped trying to cover it up they did at least take swift action to deal with the virus and went into lockdown; something they would not have done lightly, unless they felt the virus would wipe out a significant amount of their population. That also being said, I do think they've covered up their official figures to the point of inaccuracy and I suspect the deaths and infection rate was far higher than reported in China.

      However, I still feel the USA should have shutdown far earlier to give time to contain the virus and track those who were in contact with infected individuals rather than downplay it.

      You seem to think that by me blaming the CCP I'm somehow clearing the US government of all responsibility. I'm not. I agree, they could have and should have done more to contain the virus.

      But I still hold the CCP as directly responsible for the virus outbreak and all the deaths it caused. Incompetent response is one thing, but it was the CCP who covered up the virus for two months, blamed it on the US (and later Italy), and lied about their own death toll to make themselves the "experts" on dealing with the virus. Those same "experts" who were sent to help in Italy, which is still far in the red. Also if I'm not mistaken a lot of the medical supplies sold to Europe were faulty, plus the CCP threatened to withhold drugs from the US in order to let the virus wipe us out.

      The US government is indirectly responsible for the deaths. They sat idly by during the spread, but they did not actively help it spread, nor did they actively hinder other countries from dealing with the virus. The CCP is directly responsible, and I will take the final death toll once the pandemic blows over as that of a bioweapon released onto the world.
