COVID-19: WHO-China joint mission says China’s handling of the disease is historic Peoples Dispatch
Coronavirus – Its Time To Press Your Government To React Faster Moon of Alabama
The New York Times abuses the coronavirus pandemic to push more of its anti-China propaganda … When a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown origin appeared in Wuhan the first reaction was of course confusion and not an immediate large scale response. Yes, China could have been a bit faster and some local administrators made mistakes, but who please, if not the Chinese government, has since led the global fight against the novel coronavirus?
The report of the WHO mission to China is lauding it for good reasons:
China’s bold approach to contain the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly escalating and deadly epidemic. A particularly compelling statistic is that on the first day of the advance team’s work there were 2478 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported in China. Two weeks later, on the final day of this Mission, China reported 409 newly confirmed cases. This decline in COVID-19 cases across China is real.
