                    A recently published study from the University of Southampton estimated that the global outbreak of the coronavirus could have been dramatically reduced had China’s communist government acted sooner.
                    The research found “that if interventions in China could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively – significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease.”

                    China Failed the entire world. But does that really surprise anyone?
                    Well, by looking at just numbers, it seems the US is faring the worst by far of keeping the spread of the virus in check. We may be the most powerful nation on the planet, but we really suck at following the simple procedures (quarantine-hand washing-distancing) required to get a hold of this thing. It's sad.

                      By looking at "just numbers" you may be fooled.
                      It's safe to assume that with China's population being 4 times larger than America's (and being crammed together in densely populated areas the way they are) that they should have AT LEAST double our numbers and maybe Up To 4 Times as many cases as the U.S. But as we know, the Chi-Comms have lied to the world and their inaction and cover-ups have devastated the global community.

                      You also have to look for that "selective journalism" from the MSM.
                      For Example: Take these two CNN stories, one says that "We have the highest number of deaths in the world", the other article States "U.S. doing far fewer tests than any other country".
                      Let's take a look at these....

                      Why the US has the world's highest number of Covid-19 deaths - CNN
                      The US now has the world's highest number of deaths from Covid-19, with at least 21,692 losing their lives to the virus as of Sunday afternoon. Americans will continue to die in large numbers until our country mounts a coherent response to the epidemic. President Donald Trump has failed. The US still lacks even a basic plan for controlling the epidemic and restarting the economy. - Notice that they use "actual number of deaths" to give the appearance that it is deadlier here in America than anywhere else in the world.

                      Now the "flip-side":
                      Trump says more than 2 million coronavirus tests have been done in the US, and claims mass testing not needed - CNNPolitics
                      The President has been celebrating the growing number of coronavirus tests conducted in the US as a victory since the US surpassed South Korea last month as the country with the highest number of tests administered. However, compared to South Korea, the US has conducted far fewer tests per capita given the US population is more than six times larger than South Korea's. - Notice that they use "Per capita numbers" in this article to make it seem like the U.S. is lagging behind the rest of the world in testing.


                      So, if we use "per capita" for number of deaths, Guess What!?!? We no longer have the "highest number of deaths from covid".......weird huh?
                      If we use "Actual Number of tests"..........Guess What..!? Holy Shit, now we have the "highest number of tests conducted in the world". Weird Right?
                      Also, notice their Dislike for Our President in each article.

                      The media has been a HUUUUUGE problem when it comes to misinformation, and fear-mongering, and outright lies.

                          43 days after confirming its first coronavirus case, Florida nears grim milestones
                          At the state’s current pace, it will pass 20,000 cases and 500 deaths today. Some perspective: Six weeks ago, Florida announced its first two cases. Three weeks ago, it hit 1,000 cases. Now, we learn of 1,000 new diagnoses — and sometimes more — every day.


                          And those are just the cases that we know of. Because of limited testing, we don’t truly know how many people have been infected.


                          Over the weekend, Kathleen McGrory and Rebecca Woolington reported a discrepancy in the state’s accounting of fatalities. They found that the health department’s tally was about 10 percent lower than the medical examiners’ tally. The reason: The health department counts only permanent Florida residents, leaving out snowbirds and visitors; the medical examiners count anyone who has died in Florida.

                                If we only had someone from the US in China CDC to monitor and report back at that time! Right Trump Administration fired that person!

                                Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.
