Are we then going to start talking about how the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreaks were massively under-reported?

I don't see any of the scares or complaints of under-reporting from back then. So what's the difference here, the fact that the disease originated from China? Seems pretty racist to me.

Criticism of the Chinese government is not racism. They have a history of controlling the flow of information both in and out of the country; any suggestion they are controlling the flow of information about this virus is rooted in established historical facts.

I find people saying things like "criticism of the Chinese government is not racism" is akin to things like "I am not racist because I have black friends".

Anywho, I gave you an actual link of a pubmed article about the H1N1 2009 outbreak being under-reported, yet the criticism is once again about China controlling information flow. Where is the criticism of under-reporting from the US and Mexico H1N1 outbreak from 2009 and 2010 and controlling the information flow? I don't remember any of that, do you?
