We have barely any tests
Shortage of supplies
Shortage of hospital beds
Barely any protection for doctors/nurses
And a virus that is spreading like wildfire
This is complete insanity that we are 6 weeks behind and absolutely not prepared. Still not acting

The federal government under Trump's regime who until yesterday was advising people to continue as normal has completely us
FAILED US*

Omfg! Every single Republican needs to be investigated for dumping stocks after getting a briefing on coronavirus while publicly telling Americans there is nothing to see. This is Criminal .
This feels like Russia. Cover up disaster while insiders profit/protect their interests
This is like Putin's criminal crew. No empathy just corruption and greed while being willing to participate in a coverup which endangers American lives

This is disgusting & outrageous! While @realDonaldTrump
was calling coronavirus a "hoax" and attacking media for raising the alarm @SenatorBurr was warning very few in Feb about severity/dangers of the virus. Yet he stayed publicly quiet to protect Trump npr.org/2020/03/19/818…
How many Republicans knew the dangers Americans were about to face and allowed trump to delay actions which resulted in deaths and a far wider spread? Trump blames China while he sabotaged testing for 6 weeks to try to suppress testing to downplay the severity of the spread.
No wonder they protected Trump working for Putin. They dont give a shit about American lives why would they care about Trump being owned by the enemy and destroying our country from within

EU monitoring team concluded that Russia is running coronavirus disinfo campaigns in the West with the aim of sowing panic/fear, causing distrust in healthcare systems, and causing confusion. Recently russian hackers also targeted coronavirus sites

Asked for comment and Kremlin spokesperson Peskov again used the famous "Russophobic obsession" to deny Russia's involvement. Decades old excuse even when facts are crystal clear

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.

If containment fails, and this projection comes true, the hardships that the world would experience during the onset of the first coronavirus pandemic would be hard to comprehended through our current eyes. A first for the modern world.
That’s further out, but if COVID-19 does break through to influenza scale, the benefit would be in a substantial population of immunity & antibodies. Those prospects are now where China is focusing. Antibody donation could improve outcomes; that’s moving from secondary priority.
The best outcome of a worst case scenario would be herd immunity. But, millions would die, medical infrastructure would be overwhelmed at even a fraction of the early generational spread, & the world would be on pause. Transfusion is not the golden ticket; you need a lot of infra

Unsurprisingly, more information was withheld by the Chinese government. COVID-19 had reached Guangdong by January 4th. Wuhan's lockdown only began on the 23rd. This is a probelm far bigger than Hubei and China.
Alternate reality: Theranos Ends Pandemic
It's so sad to read these stories of China's state of unrest. Trust is degraded. This is not a society that will return to normal with a snap of fingers and bans lifted. China is damaged, could be for years, & we're not even near the end of this epidemic.

If you're looking for someone compromised on China, you have this theater and its 'unbreakable friendship.' news.yahoo.com/china-declines…
Xi's latest appearance on a call with Trump this morning is a different story, merely parroting the "People's War" language that state media has orchestrated in recent days
This question has only deepened for Chinese and the world in recent days, with the tragedy only growing day after day, and Wuhan's whistleblower now fallen: where is Xi Jinping? time.com/5778994/corona…

Just arrived in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, which has been under lockdown for more than a week now. The mood among locals: anxiety, flashes of anger & frustration, and extreme boredom. Here I am getting my temperature measured in a hotel lobby.
With their Chinese New Year food supplies running low, many residents were venturing out today to stock up on groceries. The markets we saw had an abundance of fresh vegetables, rice, oil and fruit — even strawberries on sale.
But most are still trying to avoid going out if they can help it. One woman said she’s stopped taking her 9.5 yr old golden retriever Dongdong on long walks now. “We’re like thieves, sneaking out when no one is around.”

@CDCgov While I wait for more info to develop in the coming days, make sure to follow @JaneLytv's fantastic coverage of the misinformation that is spreading:
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is absolutely untrue and there is no reporting to validate it. What is happening in Wuhan is not related to a biological weapon, or a human-caused accidental release, and this emergent reporting of a Chinese national being removed from a Canadian lab is in no way related. Image
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is trash reporting that is by definition fake news. The Wuhan coronavirus was not released by a lab, and there is no evidence to in any way suggest that. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/…
