> When it does, just remember that those same authoritarian governments are the ones who played down the threat, lied, covered up to save face, imprisoned whistleblowers, and refused to let international experts in.

This doesn’t address the commenter’s claim that China did the best job of completely shutting their infrastructure down and quarantining the virus effectively. They did make their bed, but they also laid in it as well.

The OP said "I think when this all comes to an end, China will be one of the countries that dealt with the virus the best." Had they dealt with it better initially, the might never have needed such draconian actions. "They made their bed" implies they did _not_ deal with it well at least initially.
